But…why?

“Amid unprecedented global challenges, escalating energy prices and rising carbon costs, we are concerned about the timing of this ambitious climate target,” the document said.

Ok? So why? Because it’s expensive? Is that what this answer means? Or is it because they don’t think they can hit the goal since resources are harder to get? Or they just don’t want to and are making excuses?

I still don’t see why a green agenda is something we (meaning humanity) shouldn’t support.

Because the Right won seats. And the right don’t care because they’re paid off.

Yeah, I figure as much. It’s really just a “we don’t want to” because those on the other team want to. There is no reason other than being the opposition…because.
