Climate change not an objective for Theresa May at G20 - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The Prime Minister has been accused of a “dereliction of duty” after revealing that climate change has been excluded from her top priorities at this weekend’s G20 summit. Theresa May left it off her list of key objectives despite the issue likely becoming the central task of the meeting of world leaders, following Donald Trump’s decision to quit the Paris Agreement on climate change. The summit in Hamburg will see the Prime Minister meet Mr Trump one-on-one for the first time since he caused outrage by announcing the US would not implement the agreement as it stands. ... It comes after the Government was repeatedly taken to court over its air quality plan and amid concern that a long-awaited 25-year environment plan has been shelved by Ms May. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said tackling climate change is to be the key objective of the summit following the US’s withdrawal from the Paris climate pact. ... Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told The Independent: "Climate change can only be effectively tackled with international cooperation. The Government should be pushing hard for greater action and coordination at the global level at the G20 but have failed to mention climate change in their four objectives.

remove this despot from office.

[QUOTE=Pissfuck;52444300]remove this despot from office.[/QUOTE] duly elected PM now means despot? sure she blows cock but despot is a little far and just makes your opinions look worse.

Maybe this is her getting her revenge on all the young people that didn't vote for her evil skeleton ass.

Despot is not far off at all.

[QUOTE=Shos117;52444312]duly elected PM now means despot? sure she blows cock but despot is a little far and just makes your opinions look worse.[/QUOTE] she wasn't really elected so much as selected. british people don't directly elect their PM, and their current government makeup would normally mean she would want to walk a fine line between parties instead of pulling harder to one side, especially when she's one small coalition split away from a collapsed government

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;52444474]Maybe this is her getting her revenge on all the young people that didn't vote for her evil skeleton ass.[/QUOTE] More likely she's just preparing to kiss Trump's orange ass until it shines. Brexit is looming, for whatever dumb reason the UK has decided to piss all over it's relations with the rest of Europe. We are about to find friends in very short supply and apparently Donald Trump is the best we can do.

[QUOTE=Bob The Knob;52444674]She could be toppled at any time by just 13 MPs and had to drop most of her manifesto to get them on side, worst "absolute ruler" of all time[/QUOTE] she has pretentions to being a despot. the snap election makes it clear that if she felt like she could make a mad grab for power and CRUSH THE SABOTEURS she would. i do not want that in a leader.

The independent is shit, stop using it. Who accused her of dereliction of duty? The green party, of course the green party will accuse her of that as they would even accuse Corbyn of that. [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/6l5pag/why_the_independent_is_fucking_awful/[/url]

Brexit was embarrassing, but the shame of doing nothing to save our environment is just too much.

[QUOTE=Sableye;52450605]well, until the trump era ends then we'll almost certainly head back onto the global stage[/QUOTE] I honestly get this feeling it'll get worse for you guys. [editline]edit[/editline] Same for us.

[QUOTE=Sableye;52450605]well, until the trump era ends then we'll almost certainly head back onto the global stage[/QUOTE] Sadly by electing Trump in the first place, we've proven we are not reliable on the global stage. The world won't come crawling back to us, they're cautiously welcome us back but always know that any election year could be the one America starts breaking promises again.

Theresa's top priority list presumably being: 1) Keep myself in power 2) kill personal liberty for britons everywhere 3) Get that rotter jeremy

[QUOTE=Reshy;52471775]"It's not a problem until we're underwater."[/QUOTE] "By which time we and our benefactors will have made vast fortunes at the planet's expense and at the expense of billions of other people. Also, we'll probably be dead by then anyway." As others have suggested before, this sort of attitude ought to be considered a punishable crime against humanity. If you want to destroy yourselves, cool-- we don't give a fuck; just don't drag the rest of us down with you while you're at it. If you're going to lead a country and represent a significant portion of our species in government, then you have, or at least ought to have, an enforced obligation to look out for us and our planet.
