"The only way the defenders of business as usual can be in a position of protecting BAU from reform, is to pretend be trying to address the climate and ecological emergency, and therefore put themselves in a position of control over what measures are considered and implemented."
It's in quotes, because I just wrote it in an email to someone.
This is what triggered me writing this, and it pretty much encapsulates what I've been trying to get across in my threads on Twitter i.e. the narrative.

The primary difference with myself, is that I had decided a long time ago, that as far as the powers that be are concerned, these conferences are not there to address the crisis, but to ensure that no action disrupts or changes business as usual, or alters the status quo.
Once, again The only way the defenders of business as usual, and the status quo, can ever be in a position to control the agenda is by putting themselves in the position of being those who are supposedly trying to address the climate and ecological crisis.
How, does this work, I'm not really sure? I'm not a mind reader, I cannot see into the minds of those doing this and know how exactly they see things.
However, I am absolutely certain as @GretaThunberg has said, that our leaders are wide awake to the fact that they are actively obstructing any action to address the climate and ecological emergency, which threatens the continuance of business as usual.

What I am not sure about, is how much insight those obstructing effective action to address the climate and ecological emergency are aware of, is what the actual consequences of their actions will be. I'm pretty certain they don't fully understand it.
The bit I am not sure about, is how aware they are about consigning a large proportion of humanity in the future to mass starvation. Do they delusionally believe that somehow the rich can ride this out. I have no idea, as I say, I'm not a mind reader.
However, their culpability is massive, and they are to some extent knowingly committing ecocide, and have some insight into the mass deaths they will cause.
These people are not our real leaders, they are the enemies of humanity. They are imposters, displaying fake sentiment.
These people are not our real leaders, they are the enemies of humanity. They are imposters, displaying fake sentiment.
Given everything, these pseudo-leaders, cannot but be aware of the massive gravity of what they are doing.
