BRICS scientists want climate network created
A forum of Academies of Science of the BRICS bloc in Rio de Janeiro issued a declaration this week proposing the creation of a network of member countries to implement climate solutions, focusing on energy transition technologies and the development of joint artificial intelligence programs...
BRICS now includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—the original members that gave the bloc its name—as well as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Iran. Associate members participating in joint discussions include Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
The malaise is of course bureaucracy.
Bureaucrats do bureaucracy, and clearly BRICS bureaucrats do not intend to be left on the side-lines doing boring stuff such as education, road maintenance and the lowly tedium of value for money.

Good luck getting Russia, China, India, or Iran “to implement climate solutions, focusing on energy transition technologies.”
These people are not real are they?
How about a counter-ultimatum, something like: "Why don't you self-opinionated ego warriors go and do some proper work?"
Peter - no they aren't real, none of them seem likely to follow our lead. They may be looking for "transition" bungs though.
Jannie - that would cause a few shocks, some would never get over it.
It has long been suggested that as long as those involved in 'climate program's receive shed loads of cash, those 'problems' will persist. The more cynical side of me believes that countries like China have only signed up to this, because they can con the more gullible governments to give them cash (see sentence one).

Penseivat - I'm sure you are right, China is signed up because it sells the kit and is happy to promote a ruinous policy in the developed world.
