COP-29 is Ending Soon-Was It a Failure?

[MrWowWow]

COP-29 seems to have been a near-failure. What's your opinion about this? I think next year's (in the Amazon) will be better..if we are not in the aftermath of a global thermonuclear exchange.

1. Yes.

Just like the previous years. Each country makes a bunch of promises that none are able to keep. The COP became an expensive event where politicians, royals, activists, and celebrities show up for a vacation and photo op.

Unfortunately, most people dont care about the environment until it negatively affects their neighborhood.

2. He was, and will always be, my President

I had the honor and privilege to sit in on two meetings with Vice President Gore during my time in government service. His passion and determination to drive solutions to a problem ( in my case, capturing and distributing climate data ) inspired all of us in those meetings to do our best to solve the issue.

If we had only listened to him more then.

3. I don't know

What we can all do to combat this. I try to do little things that I can manage, like recycling some things, but I’m getting too old to do a lot. We don’t go a lot of places. I don’t know how much difference one person can make and so many don’t want to do anything.
