The Glasgow Climate Conference is a Greenhouse of Hypocrisy Israel today

2021-11-01T20:57:08.917Z


The heads of state have spoken out against the "last chance" to save the planet • In practice, most of them do not meet targets and even talk quietly about a temporary return to polluting fuels


The cold is penetrating the bones as a two-hour-old as if he wanted to test their devotion to the goal of 30,000 participants of the climate conference.

Not that there's anything surprising about the five - degree temperature in Glasgow's fall, but the combination of the UN's poor organization capacity and the British bureaucracy has certainly been challenging.

Representatives (almost) from all over the world gathered at the "Ubo" arena.

Heavy-accented British police officers urged European and Asian, African and American faces to prepare for the corona tests that everyone had to go through.

This is how the world is run today.

On the bridge over the Clyde River, a Scot stood in a traditional skirt and cynically declared, "Welcome. It's good to spend our tax money on this summit."

After him echoed the thunderous demonstrations demanding that world leaders do much more and faster "to prevent warming."

The questions of how much the world is warming, whether man is responsible for it and whether he can change the trend, are controversial.

What is undisputed is the intention of world leaders and the rich to invest trillions in a green economy.

And what cannot yet be denied is the pretense.

Presidents, prime ministers, princes and kings, children and activists spoke loud and clear about the urgency, the "last chance" and the virtues to be lowered.

In practice, despite outward agreements, emissions continue internally.

China and Russia, world leaders in emissions, did not attend the conference at all, and most of the countries present did not meet their targets for committing greenhouse gas reductions.

The corona and the too-rapid transition to green energies have spun the global energy market.

The wind and the sun did not meet the supplies set for them by man, which caused many countries to attack the old and familiar fuels.

The crisis in the country hosting the conference is the most symbolic.

Long days of fuel shortages, the collapse of 14 gas companies and fears of the British winter have led Boris Johnson to resume coal mining - the most polluting substance.

This move, the ancestor of impurity in everything to do with the environment, did not prevent him from declaring yesterday that "now is a minute past midnight. If we are not serious today - it will be too late tomorrow."

This is how the world is.

Painted, not green.

The good news is that the State of Israel is not freaking out.

Meanwhile.

Although Prime Minister Bennett declared in his speech here that "Israel undertakes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 0 by 2050, and we will gradually stop using coal by 2025," there is no reason to think that this promise will be fulfilled.

In fact, there is no chance that we will reduce greenhouse gases by 30 percent by 2030, as has long been decided, according to senior professionals who are well versed in the details.

Examining government programs in the field in depth reveals that Israel is not really moving to green energy - and in the face of global experience, this is not necessarily bad.

Today only six percent of the country's energy sources are green.

Prime Minister Yair Pines' director general, Yair Pines, who led the formulation of the "government plan to accelerate projects as part of preparations for the climate crisis," emphasizes that under Bennett's guidance, the climate issue does indeed enter national security considerations.

In practice, his efforts are aimed at turning Israel into a magnet for green entrepreneurs.

"We have an intention and an orderly plan to turn Israel into a 'start-up nation' in everything related to climate tech. We aspire to be there," he said.


In the huge halls, Israeli entrepreneurs were indeed seen here and there.

Itamar Weizmann, a representative of the "Firstim" venture capital fund and a veteran environmental activist, has no doubt that the world is warming and that the climate issue is even a security issue.


"It should be understood that masses of starving refugees as a result of the climate crisis will reach our borders. The Middle East is particularly sensitive to change. The world is about to invest eight trillion dollars in a green economy. Those who love our country will surely want to keep it green and clean.

We talked next to an electric-powered race car.

"It's faster than gasoline cars," he notes.

His passion, just like the simplistic videos about natural disasters, was a bit pretentious to my taste.

There is nothing new in natural disasters, and it is not known whether global warming or a new epidemic is at the doorstep of humanity.

With all due respect to the climatists, previous attempts to engineer humanity have not gone well.

You can check with the Communists.
