In there was one thing that was determined at the regional climate conference held in The Bahamas this past week is that we need to head to the COP27 in Egypt this November with our cap in hand and ask for money from these larger countries outright.
There was the common blather about hurricanes and the need for hurricane proof building materials and how we need to take alternative energy serious. If anything to come out of the meeting would be that we can focus our efforts into spear-point and tackle some of these climate change problems.
The big issue is the need to monetise the climate fight the way the developed countries have. Carbon credits are a thing of the now and the future and something we need to make the developed countries and their large corporations pay for.
One thing we didn’t see discussed at the climate conference was the mechanism by how we must hold these larger countries into account. One thing this magazine believes in is to get the International Court of Justice (ICJ) involved in prosecuting climate abusers. This is the only way to hold the large corporations into account for the damage they are doing to the world.
It takes courage, however, to tell the US, EU and China that we are going to put your top executives in jail for polluting our waters and our air.
