Are the various world governments/UN involved in "climate change crisis hypocrisy"

Thought of the Day - Happy New Year and yet there are those blaring (pointy) questions, transferred from the previous decade to this decade. (i) Are the various world governments/UN involved in “climate change crisis hypocrisy,” (ii) and is there actually a worldwide crisis or not? According to some, who have voiced their “opinions” on this purported climate change crisis, we have only, approximately, eight years left--not even a full decade.

“With today’s emissions levels, that remaining [carbon dioxide] budget will be entirely gone within less than eight and a half years,” Thunberg said.

These are some pretty hefty words coming from a child, let alone some heads of state, but, and there is always a but, if she is correct why is any government, that is participating in this purported climate crisis, involved in trade with any country that is not going to stop all use of carbon producing commodities? Why is any government, and/or the United Nations, not putting sanctions and/or stopping all corporations from dealing with companies involved in the use of fossil fuels/carbon creation – including through the process of manufacturing? Mark Carney, Former Bank of Canada Governor, present Bank of England Governor and future special envoy for climate action and finance to the United Nations (UN) has stated:

“He said companies have to be more transparent about their carbon footprints and make public their plans for how to help get to a net-zero emissions economy by 2050 — as required by U.K. law — so that the public knows how its money is being invested.”

Mr. Carney is negligent if all he wants is corporations to report their carbon footprints, isn’t he? If we are in such a global crisis why would someone, in his position, have the audacity to even suggest such meager measures if, as Greta has so viciously stated, we only have eight years left? Any government representative and surely the future special envoy to the UN should be doing more than merely suggesting corporations make public their carbon footprints, shouldn’t they? This merely sounds like job creation for, yet, another bureaucracy (hypocrisy), doesn’t it? And why isn’t Mr. Carney, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Emmanuel Macron, etc., calling, if there is such a crisis, for sanctions against those countries who continue to participate in the use of “carbon creation” during any process? One only has to look at the world map to see those countries involved in merely the use of coal. (Carbon Brief Global Coal Power – Clear on Climate)

And aren’t Mr. Carney, et al, words merely feeding some countries appetite for coal use? When one considers there is a new report which states:

“Global Slowdown in Coal Power Investment Continues, but Chinese Power Industry Pushes for Hundreds of New Plants”

Isn’t this merely making it even less expensive for countries who use coal to actually purchase it? Anyone involved in supply and demand can tell you if you have an abundance of/in supply, in any market, and less demand (other countries shutting down their use of coal), the price of the that commodity (coal) drops significantly, making that commodity very favourable for purchase, doesn’t it? And hasn’t it been that way since the beginning of trade on any scale? Now the United Nations, based on its purported Charter, is supposed to be able to “take action on the issues confronting humanity in the 21st century, such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, human rights, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and health emergencies, gender equality, governance, food production, and more.” [url=https://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/overview/index.html]https://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/overview/index.html[/url] If this entity is so all powerful why isn’t it taking action? Wouldn’t one think that with it having 193 member states it could have the majority of these member states place sanctions on the countries who are placing the people of earth is such a precarious position? Even the UN Chief has stated:

“Antonio Guterres has taken the world's major economies to task for not "pulling their weight" to reduce emissions. Ahead of the COP25 climate summit, the UN head said we were rapidly approaching the "point of no return."

And why is the UN not placing sanctions against and/or stopping all commerce with the likes of China, India, etc., based on their use of “carbon creating fuels” to run their nations and manufacturing? So, Happy New Year and yet there are those blaring (pointy) questions, transferred from the previous decade to this decade. (i) Are the various world governments/UN involved in “climate change crisis hypocrisy,” (ii) and is there actually a worldwide crisis or not?
