Surprise: Climate Doom Won’t Be Solved With Yap Yap

Politico EU seems offended
UN summit collides with reality that talking won’t solve climate change
Talking won’t save the planet. Climate negotiators are starting to catch on.
On the banks of the Rhine, diplomats from almost 200 nations spent the past two weeks arguing over linguistic details while grappling with the growing sense that what mattered more lay outside their negotiation rooms.
On Thursday, countries wrapped up climate talks in the former West German capital, Bonn, where negotiators sought to lay the groundwork for COP31, taking place in Antalya, Turkey, in November.
But as they debated textual references, the fate of work programs, and the definitions of past agreements, many delegates found that the divide between real-world efforts to rein in climate change and their squabbles over technical language felt starker than ever.
Would these be all those diplomats who took fossil fueled trips to Bonn for these talks yammering about real world efforts?
The course, diplomats say, is set: Ten years after the Paris Agreement committed countries to limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, and ideally to 1.5C, the accord’s many technicalities have largely been sorted out.
The challenge now is how to achieve those targets, and countries are realizing that the answer won’t be found in United Nations negotiation rooms where every climate decision, no matter how small, requires the consensus of all nations in attendance.
The answer is very simple: if we hypothetically agree that the warming of the Modern War Period is mostly caused by the actions of Mankind then all those who Believe should give up their use of fossil fuels, stop eating meat, live in tiny homes, etc and so on. Yet, 99.9% do not, especially the Elites, like these diplomats. Why are the policies always about more taxes/fees, limiting freedom, and dictating life choices?
“What we have seen here in Bonn is also very, very telling of this so-called shift to implementation,” said Fernanda Carvalho, head of climate policy at WWF, who attended this week’s talks as an observer.
“Negotiations remain relevant … because they bring the legitimacy and the clarity, but they need to evolve, of course,” she added. “And how does it evolve? It connects more and more to what’s happening in the real world and outside those rooms here.”
That looks like something Drunk Kamala would say. What kind of babbley is this?
“The action agenda is going to be an increasing centerpiece of this process if you’re serious about shifting from negotiation to implementation,” said Alden Meyer, veteran climate negotiation observer for think tank E3G.
Were I a Warmist, I’d be a little annoyed that we’ve been spreading awareness for 35 year, having COPs for 30, and it’s mostly yap yap.
“We’re moving on a bit from negotiating,” the European diplomat said. “Negotiations here are so technical, it’s difficult to distill a message. But the message doesn’t have to come from the negotiations.”
My message?

And apply this to all the Believers.
