I came across this article titled “Big news in the close-knit and secretive climate change community!” by First Dog on the Moon that caught my attention. It’s about a secret climate change meeting that happened recently, and apparently, it’s causing quite a stir in the community.
Basically, it seems like some of the big players in the climate change world got together to discuss how they can work together to tackle the crisis. But what’s got people talking is that some major organizations, including oil companies, were also there. It’s got people wondering whether these companies are finally starting to take the climate crisis seriously, or if they’re just trying to save face.
Personally, I’m not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand, if these big corporations can use their resources to make a positive impact on climate change, that would be amazing. But on the other hand, I’m skeptical that they’re genuinely interested in doing so, rather than just trying to protect their bottom line.
It’s also worth noting that these kinds of secret meetings aren’t all that uncommon. As someone who’s been in the environmental sector for a while now, I’ve seen how complicated and political this work can be. So, while it’s interesting to see who was in attendance, it’s important to remember that there’s a lot happening behind closed doors.
Overall, I think this article highlights an important conversation that we need to be having as a society. Climate change is a crisis that affects us all, and we need everyone to be at the table if we’re going to create meaningful change. Whether or not these kinds of secret meetings are productive remains to be seen, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
