Thus The Financial Times today. “Politicians and business play down impact of Paris accord,” explains the newspaper. Surprise, surprise. The article is predictable to boot. Same old. What is to follow is of the same ilk. Those for and those against the accord will keep fighting each other for many years to come, and neither side will get the upper hand in the foreseeable future. The resulting procrastination will end only when the ravages of climate change and environmental degradation reach a new and breathtaking climax, by when the accord will be of no interest to anyone any longer. In a decade or two, the game will be over, and global concerns will turn squarely local. So, what shall one do in the meanwhile? The best one can do is to enjoy the intervening period to the fullest. It can be thought of as the bonus for the wise. Of course, this course of action includes shunning the ever-fiercer fight surrounding the Paris accord. It is for the birds, anyhow.
