Critically owned Greta Thunberg’s COP26 critique – Dagsavisen

During a demonstration in Glasgow on Friday, the Swedish climate activist said that the COP26 climate summit had failed. Thunberg called the talks during the summit a “two-week celebration of business as usual” and “blah-blah-blah”.

Eide says Thunberg’s generation is absolutely right when they describe the seriousness of the situation.

– But when they then go from there to say that politics has no meaning, that one could almost not meet, then we are on a slightly dangerous course, he says to NRK.

He believes that new promises of emission cuts which, if implemented in full, will lower expected global warming from 2.7 to just over 1.8 degrees, prove that the climate summit has failed.

– I believe that the strong and sensible commitment for something to happen must be converted to political action, not to reject the whole idea of ​​democratic political change. It is a bit important that you get that balance in order there, and that is my message to Greta Thunberg and those who cheer on her, says Eide.
