Forum President Borge Brende requested 15 seconds of silence and Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska dabbed teary eyes, calling it “another very sad day,” then telling attendees that “we can also change this negative situation for the better." He singled out climate change as an “existential challenge,” and said a global commitment to limit the Earth's temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius “is nearly going up in smoke.”
Critics have questioned the impact of the four-day meeting where politicians, CEOs and other leaders discuss the world’s problems — and make deals on the sidelines — but where concrete action is harder to measure. Environmentalists, for example, slam the carbon-spewing private jets that ferry in bigwigs to an event that prioritizes the battle against climate change.
The UN isn't much of a help. Gives the nation's causing the most problems veto powers. Duuuuuh
Don’t we know it? What a surprise…
Can’t they meet over Zoom to arrive at these groundbreaking conclusions?
These criminals are the reason we’re in a “sorry state”
And they have a solution right? Globalists cause the problems they claim to solve.
The world is in a sorry state because of these sorry asses people elected. They are the one putting the whirl in the story state
And then he looked around and saw all the culprits.
I guess the elites had better stop travelling to these meetings on big gas guzzlers then.
U had to go to a ski chalet to figure that sht out eh ? Oy!
I don't need hundreds of elitists flying halfway around the world to tell me the world is in a 'sorry state'...They want to lecture us on climate change as they jetset around the globe. Why do any of these people get to decide on agendas for the global population? WEFisEvil
Yes it’s in a sorry state because all the billionaires that are attending are making more billions while people are suffering due to high prices!!
so much diversity...
They needed a meeting to figure this out?
So those in charge of the world were just told they're doing a bad job?
I think we already know that.
