Mark Chadbourn's Substack post argues COP31 in Antalya — where UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is the only G7 leader present and Thunberg makes her first attendance since Glasgow 2021 — shows everything wrong with the fight against the climate crisis, as Trump's absence gives other leaders cover to shirk commitments. Quoting Thunberg's line that the world "is not dying, it is being killed," he says governments' short-term thinking is sacrificing the future while a Climate Action Tracker report puts Earth on track for 2.7C of heating.
