As they drive around in 85 car motorcades what hypocrisy!

[aaroncook]

High stakes summit! The only problem is that these world leaders are playing with our money, futures, and lives, not theirs. How much pollution does 100 private jets heading to this summit produce?

[remurraymd]

China Russia the biggest polluters are not there and do not care. Pointless without the biggest polluters. Flying in on private jets is the height of ECOhypocrisy.

[patslovokia]

Why are the two biggest polluters not present at this "summit"?? Because, just like Covid, this one's about the $$ too...

[danushaforknneer]

Found out that most items put into recycling bins are burned or thrown into oceans. Why don’t we work on that first. Oh because it’s too expensive!!

[jacoblaughbon]

It's always nice when those who think they are in charge, meet to act like they are actually going to do something. We can't even get our own people educated to the point of cooperation, so I'm doubting anything can be done about climate change, since the people with the actual money and the actual power, could care less about the environment. Profit, profit, profit is all private companies care about, nothing else. And 'green energy' doesn't factor into their profit margins.

[wbbbbbbb]

China produces 28% of worlds carbon output while USA produces 11%. USA is on a small downward trend while China has tripled their output over the last 19 years?

[randyburke]

Why don't those countries jump on China, Russia, India and other countries that are not helping by putting sanctions and not buying certain products made in those countries

[docholiday]

But but but The Arctic was at its all-time lowest coldest temperature 🤔

[Enbix]

Politicians using climate and our emotions about the earth to gain power. Sounds good.

[timmylittle]

The sun is starting to go though a very active solar cycle, and the magnetic poles of the planet are acting very strange. This is science. Those two things are an immediate threat. What is the plan on spending money to fix those.

[tobechukwuolumba]

There must be a different kind of green.

[TJ-Travler]

Sounds like a good time to open a climate change company... Get some of that different kind of Green!💸

A dram of usquebaugh and Let’s Go Brandon.

[LowkeyBadass]

So I guess them using “operation Popeye” for many years now isn’t fault at all!

Ok 😐

[rangerlive]

We should have been on all this, blame all the big car makers and the UN, for not seeing this with earlier predictions we waited when its to late every house hold in America's should have two free electric cars and limit the use of gas, factories that produce more harm than good should end and find a better way to operate No more chickens cause it's a lot of them or raise the price on chicken drastically so people would stop buying them a chicken disease food outbreak or something like that going to come

[k.p.]

they need to stress how much climate change would affect Republicans wallets. hopefully then they might listen...

[DRONETREADONME]

Brandon is emitting more greenhouse in his pants.
