Commitments made by politicians are rarely based on reality.

The majority of people and governments in both emerging and developed nations do not acknowledge in any way that human industrial activity is the source of the increase in the temperature of the atmosphere. To put it another way, this is the case regardless of whether the nation is considered developing or developed. In my opinion, the sun is the most important contributor to climate change, and this is true regardless of whether the place in question is warm or cold. This is something that can be observed via the investigation of the historical climate of our planet and the manner in which it is connected to astronomical factors such as solar cycles and Milankovitch cycles.

Dear above Participants in this discussion,

Dear Professors, Researchers and Scientists,

The scientific portal is primarily used to present scientific research. For making subjective opinions based on private interest and undermining confirmed repeatedly by various research centers, scientific institutes, universities operating in many countries, for making subjective opinions in order to form in the consciousness of the listeners the image of an alternative, surreal pseudo-reality, for making humorous theses, etc. the results of scientific research, other Internet discussion forums are used. The purpose of conducting scientific research is to discover truths, an objective picture of reality for the public and not to lobby for business, for industries that pollute the environment, for corporations that emit greenhouse gases and thus contribute to the destruction of life for future generations of people, to the destruction of the climate, the biosphere and the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems. Science is either reliably conducted, is independent, is objective and pro-social, or realistically does not exist at all. Besides, researchers and scientists should develop cooperation among themselves in order to more efficiently solve global problems of humanity, the planet, the biosphere, the climate, etc. with the aim of reducing the scale of the occurrence of future various crises, including the global climate catastrophe, and not to seek to short-circuit, divide, differentiate, generate negative emotions, demarcate, try to turn science into a platform for frivolous lobbying conducted for the benefit of business, etc. by cynically proclaiming subjective theses determined by private interest rather than arguments based on the results of sound scientific research. I encourage scientific cooperation but based on a reliable, objective and realistically pro-social approach to science.

Best wishes,

You asked why commitments are not being met. That question does not appear to lend itself to scientific analysis.

Perhaps you might describe the scientific protocol that answers your question.

The UN COP climate summits have been instrumental in bringing together governments and corporations from around the world to address the urgent need for a green transformation of the economy. However, it is disheartening to witness the lack of implementation or only marginal implementation of commitments made by these entities. I will explore the reasons behind this failure and present an assertive opinion on this critical issue.

One primary reason for the failure to implement pledges made at UN COP climate summits is the lack of political will. Governments often prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term sustainability goals. The pressure exerted by powerful interest groups, such as fossil fuel industries, can significantly influence policy decisions, hindering progress towards a greener economy.

Furthermore, corporations may make commitments during these summits as a public relations exercise rather than genuine efforts towards sustainable practices. Greenwashing tactics are prevalent, where companies create an illusion of environmental responsibility without substantial action. This approach allows them to maintain their profit-driven agenda while appearing environmentally conscious.

Another significant obstacle is the absence of binding agreements or enforceable mechanisms within international climate negotiations. While governments and corporations may pledge ambitious targets during these summits, there is no legal obligation to fulfill them. This lack of accountability undermines any real progress that could be achieved through these commitments.

Moreover, financial constraints often impede implementation efforts. Transitioning towards a green economy requires substantial investments in renewable energy infrastructure, research and development, and sustainable practices across various sectors. Governments may face budgetary limitations or prioritize other pressing issues over environmental concerns.

In my opinion, addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach involving stricter regulations and enforcement mechanisms at both national and international levels. Governments must prioritize sustainability over short-term economic gains by implementing policies that incentivize green practices while penalizing non-compliance.

Additionally, corporations need to be held accountable for their commitments through transparent reporting and independent audits. Governments should consider imposing stricter regulations on corporate environmental practices, ensuring that greenwashing is penalized and genuine efforts are rewarded.

In conclusion, the failure to implement pledges made by governments and corporations at UN COP climate summits stems from a lack of political will, greenwashing tactics, absence of binding agreements, and financial constraints. To address this issue effectively, it is crucial to establish enforceable mechanisms, prioritize sustainability over short-term gains, and hold both governments and corporations accountable for their commitments. Only then can we hope to achieve the necessary green transformation of our economy to combat climate change effectively.

Darius demanded analysis. So tell, us how you know each of the above - or are these just your bias?

And please(!!) try to be succinct. You're kidding yourself if you believe anyone (but yourself) reads your over-long review of personal opinion.

Likely because the people who run the WHO, the UN, and the WEF are not elected officials of our countries. For those in the US, a presidents signature and executive order does not supersede the need for congressional approval. Further, the multi billion dollar companies that support these organizations STOP their support when it starts hitting their bottom line.

COP 28 wrapped up with a meaningless commitment to "transition" away from fossil. No definition, force or date certain without even a hand wave of agreement from China and oil producing states. .Some compare it to the Kellogg-Briand pact to outlaw war.

This clearly shows how meaningless COP's are. Just BS exchange among the pompous, posturing elite ala John Kerry.

Commitments made by politicians are hardly based on reality and are related to the people
