Self Interest Rools, OK?

A Nasa expert has predicted that July 2023 will be the hottest month ever recorded (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/20/nasa-climate-crisis-july-hottest-month). It's consequently somewhat disappointing to read that the G20 (the 20 richest nations) in their meeing in India were unable to meet a consensus on 'phasing down fossil fuels' (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/22/g20-countries-fail-to-reach-agreement-on-cutting-fossil-fuels). It was, predictably, impossible to reach a consensus at the G20, because oil and gas producer countries objected. They also couldn't agree on raising and allocating a $100bn 'war-chest' for climate action. The G20 nations currently produce 75% of global 'greenhouse gas' emissions. Self interest by rich nations seems to trump everything else, even whilst the planet burns.
