The 2022 UN Climate Change Conference(COP 27) is being held in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh. At the Copenaghen Climate Change Conference in 2009, developed countries pledged to provide developing countries with $100 billion in climate funding each year by 2020. But for more than one decade these investment commitments are far from being fulfilled. The US has only completed less than 20% of its due share, and Australia, Canada and other countries haven't even fulfilled half of their commitments.
It is a "hide-and-seek" game.
Developed countries, especially the US, are keen to say good thinks and use new promises to cover up the "failure" of their old promises.
The timely slogan adopted by Egypt "together for implementation" calls all to implement their previous commitments. But this has turned into a good reason to besiege China in Washington's calculations. The US media say that the US was trying to aim China and make China pay for it, but some US scholars also said that this was to drive a wedge between China and other developing countries to split the G77 group. The Biden administration now talks of confrontation instead of cooperation with China in the climate change because it helps the US to influence its partners and to develop the clean energy industry in US.
Elon Musk wants Twitter to become the world's most accurate info source even if there is a fine line between truly free speech and censorship. As if to say: he wants the implementation of the freedom of opinions in whose name social media arose.
Opinion of mainstream American elites carried and amplified by social media platforms worsened the division within the US society and its allies. Twitter is considered to lean towards the relatively radical progressives of Democratic Party and has a relatively close relationship with the Democratic Party's establishment. But yet Joe Biden said the billionaire had purchased a social media platform that "spews lies all across the world". Musk has a very different understanding and opinion on many international affairs from the mainstream US elites and media, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the situation in the Asia-Pacific. The bashing of Musk by the mainstream US elite and the media is likely to intensify, to the extent that could be some social media influencers, political elites, and lawmakers boycotting the platform.

"Insieme per attuare gli impegni".. nel clima, nella libertà?
La Conferenza delle Nazioni Unite sui cambiamenti climatici del 2022 (COP 27) si tiene nella città egiziana di Sharm el-Sheikh. Alla Conferenza sui cambiamenti climatici di Copenaghen nel 2009, i paesi sviluppati si sono impegnati a fornire ai paesi in via di sviluppo 100 miliardi di dollari di finanziamenti per il clima ogni anno entro il 2020. Ma per più di un decennio questi impegni di investimento sono lontani dall'essere mantenuti. Gli Stati Uniti hanno completato solo meno del 20% della loro quota dovuta e l'Australia, il Canada e altri paesi non hanno nemmeno rispettato la metà dei loro impegni.
È un gioco "a nascondino".
I paesi sviluppati, in particolare gli Stati Uniti, sono desiderosi di esprimere buoni pensieri e utilizzare nuove promesse per coprire il "fallimento" delle loro vecchie promesse.
