it's a shame

[veritassecreto]

Mary, your Native American cousin here from Quebec City, Canada. Read the Treaty before pushing for COP15. What is being discussed and agreed upon behind closed doors is far different from what you hope for. If this goes through, you will have contributed towards the creation of a singular, unelected government whose aspirations lean towards population thinning, economic starvation, and a simple power grab for money and geopolitical power.

I'm all for change too, but not with what's on the table
