The G20 this was not. Apart from France, there were only 39 countries attending, out of a possible 193 countries currently listed by the United Nations. The French made up the numbers by inviting 120 NGOs. The United Kingdom did not attend, and neither did the United States nor the vast majority of the world's developed countries, including 24 of the 27 EU member countries.
So what did they decide at this Summit?
Nothing. There were no decisions or resolutions or a joint statement, merely discussions, round tables, and side events.
Why was the world's largest polluter there?
Apart from Germany, there was one other country whose economy is large enough to be invited into the G7, and that was China.
Why was China there? they are the world's worst polluters
I will give you some idea of what they have that's polluting the planet
China has 946 coal-fired power stations
To put that into perspective Germany in Europe has 96
[Source: The World Resources Institute, Sept 2021. Note that the data comes from June last year so the number of Chinese coal-power plants will now be much higher as they are building new ones at pace.]
In case readers wonder about its attendance - given that China is the world's largest polluter - I would point out that for years China has been buying influence in Africa. I feel the presence of so many of the poor countries where it has been investing heavily might explain why they were there.
If Monsieur Macron felt humiliated by the shunning of his vanity event by the world's major leaders, he put a brave face on it, declaring the Summit a great success.
As for the leaders of all the poorer countries who attended, they came as supplicants with their hands outstretched. They left empty-handed.
One caveat: Readers should be aware of the extent of the globalist agenda. Not only are they in favour of open borders, but they also seem intent on spending trillions of dollars of taxpayers' money in poorer countries in order to make us all into one big happy global family.
I suggest that the upcoming summits of the G7, G20, IMF, WEF, etc should be watched closely. These are where the decisions will be made - and we might not like them one little bit.
