The last summit included an agreement to decrease deforestation by 50% by the year 2020. Now we are in 2021, deforestation actually increased and the COP26 agreement has a provision to decrease deforestation by 2030.... It will go like this forever.
Nah it will go on like this for a decade or 2 and then we’ll descend into planet-wide fascism because humans will put up their walls, hoard their resources, and kill each other before they ever cooperate on anything.
