I saw this car-crushed frog, and immediately thought of COP1 through COP26. Will COP27, in light of recent fires, floods, droughts, heat waves, typhoons, Hurricane Fiona, cloud seeding in China and UAE, be better?

What I Think of COP1 through COP26
These are Aristotelian scholars in Brecht’s play Life of Galileo
refusing to look through a telescope.
They are Freud, according to Judith Herman,
so worried about his career, he hid patients’ abuse.
They are Meletus against Socrates in 399 B. C.,
and McCarthy against Richard Wright in 1953.
It was widely-reported Big Oil had the “largest delegation”
at COP26 strange as hanging their logos on Chartres Cathedral.
There is a thick fog of ignorance in the room,
and almost no time to open a window.
Congrats to Denmark for being the first country to “Offer ‘Loss and Damage’ Climate Funding” according to Valerie Volcovici at Reuters, republished at U.S. News & World Report Sept. 20, 2022.
