Brainwashed 10-year-olds weigh in: We went to a climate change conference
"We are part of an eco-squad at school and so were chosen to attend a special Climate Change conference which took place in London.

There were young people from the UK, India and Kenya there!
...
One of the projects showed to us from a group from Kenya showed us how we can make cushions out of plastic bags!

How amazing is that?!

The key message we learnt from the conference was that we must ALL make changes to how we live our lives so that in the future we can make the world last a little longer."

he crisis of climate change presents us with three critical opportunities: a moral opportunity to change what's negative about our systems, and help those in need; an economic opportunity to invest in the winning technologies of the future; and a political opportunity to form new international commitments that will strengthen all nations.

Now, if we could just agree on that, we might be getting somewhere.

There has been no time in recent history where coordinated agreement from the great powers was more urgent. The triple crisis of energy, economy and climate change are no longer theoretical risks but clear and present dangers that have to be addressed.

What's so suspicious about these "lifestyle change" solutions is how there's never any alternative suggested, (other than crazy ideas such as geoengineering). What they suggest is like saying "to improve air quality in Manhatten, 90% of the people working there should quit their job and move someplace else" - there's no sound cost-benefit relationship.
Never considered are easy, realistic solutions such as letting any warming or cooling happen and then letting each individual deal with whatever problems the weather might bring.
The only role of the central government should be to provide statistics and averages about the past and present developments, but not to try to influence society to move in any specific direction.
