From Washington Compost: 'Analysis: At COP26, climate inequality will meet vaccine inequality'
In the midst of a pandemic, countries are gathering to discuss how to deal with a wholly separate humanity-threatening crisis: Climate change.
But while COP26, a United Nations summit beginning in Glasgow, Scotland, next week will focus on environmental transformations, it can’t help but be informed by the changes wrought by covid-19 as well. Even at the most basic level, the logistics of the trip have been thrown into disarray by the pandemic.
But there are deeper, more alarming currents running between the two crises, too. For low- and middle-income nations, COP26 is taking place under the specter of a grossly unequal global rollout of vaccines. At the conference, many of these same nations will be asked to make significant commitments to fight climate change by wealthier nations, even if they contributed relatively little to the problem.
The juxtaposition will be jarring. Though wealthy nations had pledged to help poorer nations get vaccinated, so far those promises are mostly unfulfilled.
With tag lines like "every time you feel a cool refreshing breeze, know that you're stealing it from another person in a disadvantaged country," their mission statement could be: "If it makes just one person feel guilty, it will all have been worth it."
If they want to make a dent in carbon dioxide and pollution, make China stop crapping on the entire world!

Here is WI we experience climate inequality with FLA. Send the heat up North, Gators.
Their climate change agenda is a tool for depopulation.
It really is that simple.
Think about it! What would happen if they could turn off the spigot and eliminated the use of fossil fuels? The world would starve to death in short order, because there is no alternative to bring food from the soil to the table, and there never will be in our lifetime.
Yes! I thinkIt’s the Fall Cabal lady got it right when she said Sustainability is just a byword for depopulation
Getting ready to buy a big ole gas guzzling Yukon for spite.
The answer is obviously enforced American poverty!
Um, hate to break it to ya, but ‘globalism’ means the whole world.
Maybe an electric car. You know the cobalt and lithium required for electric cars has to be mined by someone in some shithole. Typically anyone from kids to elderly forced into the mines to make sure Gretta can get in her electric car.
Good point
I hadn't thought of it that way. It reminds me of being white and "white privilege". Those who subscribe to the current woke ideology pretty much consider whites to have original sin.
I wish I could find the video but this mathematician lady broke the whole climate change credits business down quite expertly, showing its inner workings and the various access levels. The upshot of it all was that it makes Al Gore mega rich.
