    Why the hell are Popes and Kings speaking at these events?

    They make some vain announcements that something should be done, everyone is in danger and then go back to their shadowy domains and no one ever hears them say or do anything significant that would help people. All the while living extravagant lives while saying that we should help the poor.

      Because they have power, (or repersent people who do hold it in the case of King Charles) and need to be on board with the solution.

        I see it as an admission that unelected people or undemocratically elected people have so much power over the world.
