Why?

1. They are Boring

Whether you take COP26 Summit or World Climate Conference (WCC), half of the people watching these meetings do not understand the jargons that the Heads of States use. That’s why for a lot many Climate Change goes bouncing off their head.

2. It’s a pure Puppet Play of the Corporates

Behind every capitalistic move lies a corporate. However may “Phase down not out” coal sounds a rebellious move by India, it is a big big win for mining corporates. And a worthy show for us.

3. They do not have concrete outcomes

If there would have been any concrete outcomes of any of the previous Climate Change get togethers, we wouldn’t have been so excited about COP26 and then so heartbroken after it.

4. It’s a Kitty Party for the Politicians

Ohhhhh…. c’mon, our Strongman Superheroes also need time out with their Buddies.

5. Developing Nations accuse Developed Nations for crisis

“How can anyone expect that developing countries make promises about phasing out coal and fossil fuel subsidies? Developing countries still have to do deal with their poverty reduction agenda,” India’s Environment Minister, said.

Indian launched Climate Equity Monitor to spin around the responsibility of Climate Crisis onto the Developed Nations.

6. It’s the Agenda of the Elites

Developed Countries always talk their side of the story. When US, UK needed development climate crisis was non existent. And now when they are developed and need some fresh air, suddenly it’s an emergency for the world.

Fast, Fast, Fast… Call the Conference.

7. It is the common people who suffer

Sadly but truly it’s people like you and me that are fooled by these conferences. Their fake outcomes which are good to show on papers are seldomly put into action as fast as promised. Hence we do what can to earn money, Burn AMAZON….
