COP…out
Assemble
fifty thousand delegates,
From around
the world. Ask what the price is,
When
considering the climate crisis,
Of convening
fourteen days of debates.
Then there’s
the press corps and TV news,
Social media
that requires broad banding,
The wining,
the dining, the glad handing:
A towering
Babel of discrepant views.
Far, far too
many are still enraptured
With fossil
fuels and profits they’re making.
For all the
hot air there’s no mistaking
That not a
gram of carbon is captured
After the
fortnight, despite pressing need.
Just lots of
motions with nothing agreed.
D. A.
