They are citizens of the world. Globalists.
They dont really recognise the concept of countries, nations and all that old fashioned, non progressive crap.
They are coached to speak as if they do though, in order to get votes.
Thats why they always sound insincere when they trot out soundbites about "ordinary hard working people" etc. etc.
This is going to be a very dangerous Govt. even by the standards of recent Govts.
Meanwhile ar COP26 the poorer countries are about to walk out because us richer countries have only offered them an extra 300 billion (on top of what we already give them) when they are demanding at least 500 billion.
Its far call to do with climate change and everything to do with global redistribution of (our) wealth.
Karl Marx would be so proud.
It's like the richer nations who are the worse polluters, paying the poorer ones to offset their pollution. Which is still pollution whichever way you dress it up.
How do you figure that?
Perfect capita, India, China and the collective of Afriiikkkaa are the poorest nations.
If we produced stuff where it was needed rather than shipping billions of tons of waste und utter shite disguised as consumables around the globe, then we wouldn't have this issue.
The air quality in Mumbai and Delhi is on average one step away from certain death. A couple of billion less people not producing stuff would actually help their climate AND economy, but nope, we have to be all green and ecomental whilst trying to ignore the that the real issue is all the cheaply produced shite that we ALL insist on buying.
If there's one thing that grips my shit at work, it's the pretence of sustainability. The bulk of our waste has to be burnt because it's 'non EU' rather than being recycled or composted regardless of whether there are actual facilities to recycle the items or use them for animal feed/bio fuel. It's that bad that we don't even collect recycling items such as the cups or cutlery because it costs more to recycle them than to produce them.
That's the crux of the problem. And to your point, Ron, indirectly it's the fault of the wealthy few, and us for swallowing their BS, but it's happening in the poorest nations that are busy trying to emulate the First world. Trouble is they're about two hundred years behind in their thinking with an exponentially greater population to support.
