Same shit, different year. I hate them all with a passion. Lets kill the planet for short term profits…
But they’ll be dead by that time, so fuck the rest of us.
They’re hosting a climate change conference in Azerbaijan? A country that’s mainly known for its oil production?
Are the UN even trying to pretend they’re acting in our best interest at this point?
There are regional rotation rules, and Russia vetoed every other possible location in the region
So Russia alone can influence the outcome to the point of making the entire conference a laughing stock. Seems like a pretty big fuck up to me.
The whole UN is like that; it functions as a forum to talk, not an effective place to set policy.
So, pointless in this effort then. Cool.
Reminder that Saudi Arabia has a whole-ass plan to actually surge and increase oil consumption. They also reached out to people during COP28 at the UAE for oil deals with other countries.
Climate Town has a really good video about how fucked the COP is becoming, apparently.
EDIT: I am double-stupid. Edited for accurate message.
COP28 was in the UAE, not Saudi Arabia
Totally got them mixed up, fixed my comment. Thanks!
And the on after that will be in Brazil, which is already trying to become an OPEC+ member.
