While Greta Thunberg was talking about reducing consumption, COP 24 has spent millions

The Greta Thunberg, a Swedish teenager who goes to school on Friday to protest in front of the Parliament against global warming and talked in the Davos World Economic Forum, became an international star shortly before, in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 24). Her expressions motivated the followers who will see her Stockholm critics who, like biochemist Luis Gómez Fernández, question his role as "one more instrument in this perverse game of the new globalism"

After to joke about "the global circus of climate salvation" and the salvific initiative Climate Justice Now", Emphasized Gómez Fernández in Disidentia than the words of the girl, as "put the emergency brake" on the consumerist race that "sacrifices civilization for money"they are not heard by those who promote it. The Major expenses required by the organization of the COP 24 They are his argument.

It The economic system, he recalled, is the one that finances "all the conferences of Blessed people engaged for the famous protection of the climate", although Thunberg sees it as the origin of the problem. And that's why there were 22,000 participants, while in the girl's appearances in Sweden, the places are empty.

The founder of the biotechnology company Indago blogger in Exile was of the opinion that Climate Justice Now he used Thunberg"Let 's put a girl on the stand and let the audience from around the world shed tears of emotion." Those of us who protect the climate do not need lessons, nor scientists criticisms or activists too enthusiastic. "

In order not to waste resources, he said, the COP 24 could have been "a meeting on the Internet with live broadcast and comment online. "But then travel, receptions and allowances "They would have disappeared."

He explained: "The largest delegations to the Climate Conference came from African countries. Guinea sent 406 delegates this year, the Democratic Republic of Congo was present with 237 participants and Côte d 'Ivoire sent 191 members. compatriots from Poland. "Perhaps because COP23 was in Bonn – a more attractive destination," he said sarcastically – Guinea has now sent 86 fewer participants and Côte d'Ivoire 301 less.

"The vast majority of African delegations, for example, are financed by the United Nations"he added." That is, there are groups of participants who can opt for reimbursement of flight expenses and accommodation, in addition to receiving daily diets. All that an activist who sacrifices himself has to do is to go to a conference booth with his pbadport and airline tickets, give him the money and sign his receipt. "

But there is interest in the possibility of travel, as COP 24 has its own website "Hosting Funded Delegates", with a minimum stay of 12 days in Poland and daily allowance of 194 USD for those who do not live in the country.

"We are talking about USD 2,328 per person. In Bonn, the figure was $ 272 a day the previous year, or $ 3,264 per person, "he calculated. A thousand dollars less! This could also explain the slight decrease in the number of participants interested in COP 24 … "

Gómez Fernández closed his text by addressing Thunberg, who advised him not to miss school on Fridays because his activism "is completely ignored by climate decision makers". His moment has pbaded, he said: "For them, you are hardly a pet ephemeral that they will never want to see again because that would only disturb their monetary distribution circles. "
