"Conference Secretariat wishes to apologize for the inconvenience associated with local access," the message was sent on Tuesday evening participants COP26 - climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland United Nations. And she had nothing to apologize for.
The queues at the entrance to the conference lasted about two hours. Web sites have collapsed. While hundreds Water bars were placed in the corridors, but there were no glasses. After all, a conference on environmental conservation would not provide Baia with disposable utensils, so the gallons remained full and people thirsty.
Over the chain of these incidents hovered the really big problem. The bluff. Biden, Johnson, UN Secretary-General Guterres, 140 leaders, businessmen, philanthropists and green activists from around the world delivered keynote speeches on the urgent action humanity needs to take to curb greenhouse gas emissions, but 400 jets, horrific polluting vehicles , Brought to Scotland the island of the conference, and there was much symbolism in it. There are no tools in the world to achieve the goals of reducing pollution. "50 percent of the technologies have not yet been invented," a senior official who coordinates the treatment of the issue told Israel Hashavua this week. Or worse, they are quick to deny humanity what has been invented, even though there are not enough alternatives and there are already those who have fallen into this trap.
In fact, the United Kingdom, which hosted the conference, recently paid a heavy price for this. Fuel shortages were felt throughout the country, and 14 gas companies went bankrupt. Johnson recruited 500 military truck drivers to distribute fuel to the people and resumed coal mining - the most polluting substance. And not just in the UK - gas and fuel prices are soaring around the world, not only but certainly also because of the shift to green energies, as wind and water were less powerful than expected.
Prof. Yael Poppy, Deputy Dean of the School of Sustainability at Reichman University and an expert in public energy policy, warns misleading Israeli policymakers like the British: "Every effort should be made to move to clean energy, as well as reduce demand. The Israeli public must be harnessed. "He is currently objecting to new technologies that will sit in his yard."
But Poppy warns against moving too fast. "You can't say 'close everything now.' The answer is more complex than that, we have a lot of sun because our population is growing, and there is a plan to electrify our vehicles. All this means that the demand for electricity will increase greatly. "Just put a power plant. The infrastructure needs to be built and at the same time train the hearts of the public."
Poppy's warning as intended for the ears of Bennett and his men.
Drifting from the global embrace he received in Glasgow, Bennett declared that "Israel's mission is simply to save the world."
Bennett described the flood of meetings that Bennett had as a "political tsunami in a good section."
Bennett and his advisers knew that in the political arena Netanyahu was leaving them huge shoes.
The success of getting into them - and Bennett succeeds, but also because many in the world wanted to replace Netanyahu - is a bit dizzying for him and his men.
Perhaps this enthusiasm contributed to Bennett's declaration of the climate issue as a "national emergency."
This is his directive to the National Security Council. At the moment, the government's steps are not far-reaching and even requested.
But those who head the Jewish state must remember that vital national interests precede world fashions.
The previous attempt of the world left to engineer the world was the domain of the Communists.
On the side of reducing pollution and moving to green, in Israel caution must be exercised before drifting with the climatists.
