<i>When questioned on why the event&#x27;s organizers had allowed so many people from the industry to attend, COP26 President Alok Sharma said: &quot;At the end of the day, It is up to [attending countries to decide] who gets accreditation as part of their delegations.&quot;</i><p>Our governments decided to shape the nature of climate talks by embedding a crap ton of fossil fuel lobbyists.<p>Pols trade federal power for campaign funds every day. Maybe press&#x2F;voters should stop being okay with this.
