Their faces are made of reinforced concrete. G20 leaders meeting in Rome agreed on Sunday to keep the global warming ceiling at 1.5 degrees. But all this does not stop sounding like a joke when you see the long lines of armored and polluting vehicles that were driving them through the collapsed streets of Rome. Russia's state television Russia-1 has counted up to more than 80 vehicles in the convoy that was leading the entourage of US President Joe Biden . Not counting all the flights by private plane that have been necessary to transfer them.
This fact has been corroborated by the British digital Metro: “Joe Biden has been criticized for driving through Rome in a caravan of more than 80 cars on the eve of a crucial climate summit. The president always travels with a large entourage of aides, doctors, security and reporters.
It is grotesque that leaders like Biden were in charge of agreeing on a common position facing the United Nations Summit on Climate Change (COP26) that starts this Monday in the Scottish city of Glasgow. The deal is "practically closed, only a few fringes are missing." Of laughter.
The Wall Street Journal had already warned about this when, days after the publication on August 9, 2021 of the United Nations' largest scientific report on climate change in nearly a decade, the Biden administration issued a statement on the "necessity of reliable and stable global energy markets ”. Like many presidents before him, Biden urged the oil cartel, OPEC, to increase production in hopes of lowering the price of gasoline at the pump.
