Last week was a bit of a circus in New York City. You just had to be at the UN to see the three-rings in full effect.
Probably the climax of the week came when a 16-year-old climate activist, Greta Thunberg, took attendees to task for failing to address climate change. Thunberg then noted that due to politicians inaction, they had effectively ruined her childhood.

‘So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat.’
