Ford Mustangs at COP28
The HinduI don’t have any serious interest in cars but at the Dubai EXPO city, venue of the 28th edition of the United Nations climate talks, I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight of two coupes. The Ford Mustang ‘67s, one blue and one green, the staple of James Bond movies of a certain vintage, and serious objects of desire, were parked at an outdoor exhibition booth. There is the science: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports have synthesised mounting evidence over decades that the record-breaking rise in average, global temperature is making cyclones more frequent and furious, monsoons more erratic, and floods more destructive. While the original climate commitment, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, envisaged a future where these two worlds would cooperate, spread the wealth, and equitably solve their way out of the crisis, things haven’t quite turned out that way.
