The climate conference has just concluded with almost 200 countries agreeing to lower their effect on climate change. While I think the deal reached is definitely progress, it seemed to have upset a lot of people in the process. Many are angry that switching to electric only and phasing out coal was not mentioned strongly enough. Smaller nations that have suffered tremendously under the effects of climate change through storms and rising water temperatures were upset to hear that there would be no reparations made for them from the damages they have incurred; instead a conversation would be started with bigger countries about what to do next. I believe this is unfair because we cannot keep standing by and letting the smaller nations suffer from the consequences of global warming created by the wealthiest countries. I feel that more should have been done at the meeting to support smaller nations as they combat the worst effects of climate change.
