WARSAW, Poland – For the first time ever, environmental groups have staged a mass walkout of a U.N. climate summit. Citing immense frustration with the lack of productive action in the COP19 climate talks, which have been dogged by a persistent rift between rich and poor countries on the responsibility of paying for climate damages, hundreds of people from dozens of environmental groups and movements from all corners of the Earth have voluntarily withdrawn from the talks. According to a spokesperson for Oxfam, around 800 civil society members (which is the label applied to all advocate and activist types at these meetings) have walked out. In a joint statement, group leaders offered that “the best use of their time” was to now focus “on mobilizing people to push our governments to take leadership for serious climate action.”
These environmental extremists can just keep on walking. This is all about a wealth distribution scam and nothing about saving our planet. The fact that there has been no increase of the earths temperature in over 15 years should be front and centre at these UN climate talks. These are crooks and con artists. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
