Hungarian green party slams ‘disappointing’ COP 26 summit
Hungary’s opposition LMP party on Sunday slammed the United Nations GOP 26 climate conference, saying the summit had so far yielded “disappointing results”.
In the fifty years since the first world conference on environmental destruction, the situation has worsened due to man-induced climate change, party co-leader Máté Kanász-Nagy told a press conference.
Although the leading nations of the world have pledged to protect forests and curb methane emissions, those commitments are insufficient, Kanász-Nagy said.

“We know what we should do but we don’t act. At best, we are treating the symptoms of the environmental crisis,” he said.
“Meanwhile, it is as if Hungary wasn’t even present at the summit,” Kanász-Nagy said. The Hungarian government continues to support the “great polluters”, multinational companies, and continues to hinder the spread of sustainable energy resources, he said.

Not wishing to be overly critical but it’s COP 26 not GOP 26.
Thank you for calling that out. We used a news agency and did not notice the mistake.
“Meanwhile, it is as if Hungary wasn’t even present at the summit,” Kanász-Nagy said.
What does “it is as if” mean? Is this guy nuts or something?
Should we blame this nothing statement on translation? What happened really there?
A lot of pollution happened with all those private planes.
All you need is Greta Thunberg -:)

50 years ago they were predicating the coming of a new ice age – made the cover of time magazine- this was before they had child authority as the expert on climate change. Maybe they got it mixed up with the Cold War.
Greta knows best -:)
