Anna B Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The Conference about climate change is about to begin in Glasgow. The great and the good are coming from far and wide ( ) to debate the issues. Will it just be more talk, or will real change actually happen? I've just become familiar with the term 'Greenwashing.' My bet is we'll hear a lot of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only just heard of it. And so will others no doubt. But l suspect it's going to become much more common after cop 26. Joe Lycett's investigation into Shell's claim to be moving to green energy production - About time these claims were put under the spotlight. Carbon offsetting might be another one he could have a look into. These phrases are used so glibly with little thought / research to back them up and find out if they're true.

El Cid Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is set to come to Scotland to hold an “alternative COP26”. Corbyn, through his Peace and Justice Project, will hold four events, three in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh, between November 8 and November 11. Among the events is a “climate justice cabaret”, bringing together musicians and artists, as well as a panel with trade union leaders and two in conversation-style events. 6 hours ago, Anna B said: I've only just heard of it. That fact that the term has been around so long should be an indicator of the lack of Government action and the fact that this is COP26 Did the other 25 COPs achieve anything?

So, he's organised his 'own' show? Probably failed the "Britain's Got Talent" auditions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbyn is on our side though; his prospective Government was rejected. But that doesnt mean all his ideas were bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read somewhere, this morning, that a fleet of Teslas have been hired to take the delegates hither & thither but.......they forgot about charging stations so they've had to hire another fleet......of diesel powered generators to be able to recharge Here you go - sort of semi correct(ish) https://fullfact.org/online/COP26-Tesla-cars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
