Cop26 leaders blame individuals, while supporting a far more destructive system

  1. Ignore the 71% pollution by a few large companies. Ignore the massive pollution by the military. Ignore the sick system that exports polluted businesses to developing countries. Forget about millions of tons of garbage shipped to those countries.

    It is the consumer’s fault.

    We elected these idiots and keep buying shit and services from those companies.

  2. It’s definitely teenagers not putting their monster cans in a bin that has caused climate change! Not powerful corporations and Government inaction. Greta is right it’s all blah, blah, blah.

  3. Let’s not forget excessive, artificial consumption funded by public debts driven by world wars as well as populism.

    Not to mention public coal subsidies by countries like Germany ( 130 billions of euros since 1961 ) or Poland.

    Recent money printing called quantitative easing by national banks ( which benefits the richest) doesn’t help the environment either.
