Russian climate official apologizes for Ukraine invasion: Reports
Yahoo News ^ | February 27, 2022 | By Ben Adler

The leader of the Russian delegation at an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) conference on Sunday apologized for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Agence France-Presse reported.

"Let me present an apology on behalf of all Russians not able to prevent this conflict," Russia's Oleg Anisimov reportedly said at the closing plenary meeting. Those who see what is happening "fail to find any justification for the attack on Ukraine," he added.

Anisimov, a veteran climate scientist who has authored previous IPCC reports, expressed "huge admiration" for the Ukraine delegation, which has kept working even as its country is under attack from its much larger neighbor.

“The surprise intervention from Russia’s Oleg Anisimov at the closed-door meeting followed an electrifying live statement from his Ukrainian counterpart, Svitlana Krakovska, who spoke passionately about her country's plight," AFP reported.

"We will not surrender in Ukraine, and we hope the world will not surrender in building a climate-resilient future," Krakovska said in English, according to AFP's sources.

"Human-induced climate change and the war on Ukraine have the same roots — fossil fuels — and our dependence on them," she added. It is unclear what exactly she meant by that, but Russia's economy is heavily dependent on oil and gas revenues, and Europe's dependence on Russian gas has made it unwilling to extend its sanctions to cutting off Russia's ability to sell gas on the continent. If Europe did not rely on fossil fuels to generate energy, it might be able to more effectively counter Russian aggression, according to global energy market experts.

Like Trump, Putin also has to fight the globalist woke members of his own government.

Tonga volcano apologized for its massive explosion in the Pacific.

Etna apologized for its continued eruptions in Italy.

China apologized for building so many new coal burning power plants.

Apologies can sometimes seem so insincere. And sometimes political.

“We’re sorry about your being invaded and stuff, but since the world has only 9.5 years left due to global warming, the pain won’t last too long. It could have been worse.”

Cracks in the facade of national unity, it would seem.
