I wouldn’t consider it doing pretty well, when we’re exceeding the Paris agreement right now and they’re still saying we’re trying to keep it. Fossil car ban is far too late. Carbon certificates far too cheap.

But yes, she’s not fully blocking anything. However, she’s also the person to present for the conservative parties to keep up appearances, while at the same time these parties are ruining any climate ambition.

So more empty promises by politicians, less empty promises by corporations (by the article). And continuing to ignore science and activists. So staying on course means staying on course for catastrophe.

Some of the UN people seem to really mean and understand it (Simon Stiell, Antonio Guterres), but don’t have the power. Others, like von der Leyen in the picture, are the prime example for empty promises.

These people are role models for us all.

This was very brave. I applaud these activists. We should all do the same until politics listen and act accordingly.
