Welcome to paleolithic politics: in this version, the witchdoctors are syndicated and with lap tops.
OSLO (Reuters) – Nations around the world have adopted more than 1,200 laws to curb climate change…
Patricia Espinosa, the U.N.’s climate change chief, … said the findings were “cause for optimism”…
Because more laws are always good.
Forty-seven laws had been added since world leaders adopted a Paris Agreement to combat climate change in late 2015, a slowdown from a previous peak of about 100 a year around 2009-13 when many developed nations passed laws.
All those new laws and global temperatures peak anyway. Must be depressing for legisladocktors.
Too many laws is never enough:
“We don’t want weaklings in the chain,” said Martin Chungong, Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. He urged all countries to adopt laws that help limit downpours, heatwaves and rising sea levels.
I’m with him. Why not speed limits for winds?
