| Comment | The only way corporations will stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere is if legislation prevents them from doing it. The only way legislation will happen on a global or near-global scale, short of miraculously happening everywhere at the same time through the simultaneous goodwill of governments, is through these collective summits.
Summits where the world's media attention is focused like a laser and where climate activists have a reasonable chance of having their protests land a punch on the legislators.
The fancy dinners and excessive glitz surrounding the event, yes, with you on that. But the general idea of having these summits is sound. |
