.... condoning the grotesquely greedy behavior of those who are hoarding most of the world's wealth?

Of necessity, the elders among us are going to have to accept whatsoever could somehow be real about the world we inhabit as well as about how our children offer hope of a good enough future for life as we know it, but only if we elders choose now to help the children by openly acknowledging the global challenges already visible on the far horizon.

Silence of the super-rich, their bought-and-paid-for politicians and their many minions in the mainstream media for sake of maintaining their wealth, power and privileges to extoll the virtues of unbridled greedy behavior could duplicitously end up leading the family of humanity to inadvertently destroy that in God's Creation which we claim an interest in preserving.

Can anyone explain what exactly is meant to be stunning about the tableau shown above ?

The inanity of the banner's message is one possibility, but the fact that neither of the men are wearing skirts while all four women are wearing trousers may well cause much puzzlement in some cultures. But it really doesn't seem very stunning.

So maybe it is the fact of EJCC staff having campaigned on this issue for some years without now proposing anything more helpful than a basic principle (sans definition),
one that is anyway already enshrined in UNFCCC agreed conduct -
that really is a pretty stunning lack of productivity.
