And you know it all comes from that same half-bakedness, that sentimentality. They are fascinated, not by realism, but by the emotional ideal side of socialism, by the religious note in it, so to say, by the poetry of it… second-hand, of course.

COP27: 'Climate chaos' as UN climate summit begins
The UN's annual climate change summit has opened with hosts Egypt calling on countries to move from "pledges to an era of implementation".
More than 120 world leaders are due to make speeches at the conference, known as COP27, in Sharm el-Sheikh.
About 40,000 people will attend but some activists are staying away over concerns about Egypt's rights record.
As COP27 opened the UN released a new report it described as a "chronicle of climate chaos".

If CO2 released by human activities was really a problem, it should be possible to detect the temperature increase from this idiotic annual fart-fest. I'd expect this many fools gathered together in one place to make at least 0.0000000000001C difference!
So let me get this straight... climate change is the most important thing in the world - apart from concerns about Egypt's rights record?
Ed - it's a puzzle though. Do they know they are doing something foolish? I think they do, but it's part of the job so they do it.
DJ - that's about it. Virtue-signalling comes before everything, so even not going to COP27 has virtue value as long as it is conspicuous non-attendance.
Ah, a Red Sea scuba-diving and sunbathing resort with top-grade hotels. I guess after Scotland last year, they deserve it.
Sam - I was always surprised that Scotland was chosen. Maybe most delegates didn't know where it is.
