'Our Leaders Are Not Leading': Groups Decry Yet Another G7 Climate Failure
"If these embattled leaders want to leave a lasting legacy, they need to heed the will of voters demanding a safe environment and climate," one campaigner asserted.
They have no reason to care about the citizens..they have never faced punishment for selling their country out. Why the heck would any of them start caring now.
The only legacy being left is one of dust. If we continue along this path the next sapient species will have to piece together what happened to us.
In many places in the world, politicians are not elected to be leaders but rather representatives of the will of the people who elected them. And a lot of people do not want to give the government massive power because of climate concerns. They're voting for their wallets. And the representatives represent the will of the people. I understand a lot of Europe votes for climate-aware representatives, but much of the world just wants to have food on the table.

Not really. The greens lost 1/3 of their seats in the last election.

While climate change is lowering yields and making food more expensive. That's going to be a problem.
