naturalwestmichigan.com/g20-progress-on-clean-energy-but-not-on-fossil-fuels"At their 2023 meeting in India, the leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) countries responsible for approximately 80 percent of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions have agreed to triple the use of renewable energy and allocate more funds toward managing climate change-related disasters. However, they did not reach a consensus on phasing out fossil fuels, especially coal, a major contributor to carbon emissions. The G20 did not give specifics on how policies and targets might be amended or how to pay for the estimated $4 trillion a year needed for the clean energy transition. The\declaration by the G20 countries sets the stage for more discussions at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, commonly known as COP28, later this year in the United Arab Emirates...." My notes: I haven't heard of this group. How good do you think it is? Or it is another greenwashing ploy?

I'm not sure about trusting these people or not. Talking about cutting emissions and using renewable energies is great, but what they need to do is formulate a plan to roll out a Green infrastructure. We have the technology to run a car using water, we have the zero-point energy capability of using magnetism to harness electricity, and we've had it for decades. But until the greedy people at the top either die or give up their control of us, not much is going to change. The entire Green Agenda is merely a talking point to keep us (the people, the workers, the CONSUMERS) divided and poor.

Sounds like greenwashing to me. So much talk going on. I haven't seen anything implemented that has helped the environment.

Senkusha, Bob, Thank you both for your replies! I think of it as "All talk, no action". People are great at talking. Having meetings, creating agendas, thinking of ideas. But there's so much red tape where people never go any further than the table.
