So the pampered and the privileged have taken centre stage in this Cop-out-26, Carnival of Illusions, well according to the media, but the streets are alive with the alternative and real answers. The "plans" of the privileged and powerful will only lead to more consumption, great production, ever increasing growth and an an increase in the wealth for that pampered few. Meanwhile the world will roll merrily on to destruction, while they continue to worship at the alter of "the economy". It will take real change to have any chance of stopping this human suicide mission and that real change can only come from the united voices of the people. Letting the polluters, devout followers of the insanity of capitalism, make the plans to save the planet is like asking the foxes to look after the chickens while we go to sleep. Rather than working to get the great and the good deliver on their false promises, the people have to take control, set the agenda, and carry it through, any alternative reaps disaster.
As
the global climate summit COP26 begins in Glasgow, we're hearing
another round of promises from world leaders to finally do something to
tackle climate change.
But to get the elite to act on their pledges, we need to add a crucial missing ingredient: the voices of the people.
That's why Ripples is supporting the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice this Saturday, organised by the COP26 Coalition of campaign groups
