Two sea tragedies in one week. Both are newsworthy. In one, 5 millionaires who paid $250,000 per trip are lost. In the other, 500 refugees who paid their life savings are lost. And yet only one of these tragedies has attracted widespread global media coverage. Why?

"My country only emits 1% of global emissions. What it does makes no difference".

But add up the emissions of countries that emit less than 2% each (a 'negligible amount') – they emit more than China.
Imagine if they all decided to do nothing.
Copying Australia's shameful model. Sorry.

Is the statement from "Lord of War" still true - that the permanent members are the biggest weapons exporters?
