COP29 climate talks opened in Azerbaijan on Monday amid concerns over newly re-elected Donald Trump's pledge to reverse US carbon-cutting commitments. The two-week session is expected to focus on funds from rich countries to help poor nations cut carbon pollution.
"Climate catastrophe is hammering health, widening inequalities, harming sustainable development, and rocking the foundations of peace. The vulnerable are hardest hit," UN chief Antonio Guterres said in a statement.

Global warming is not real.
It is a scam.
People believe it like a religion so it is hard to convince people of its absurdity.
Liar.
I have read that solar cells have become incredibly cheap.
The ‘poor’ Third Worlders are blessed with a golden level of sunshine that most white people will never get.
I’m all for getting rid of oil and going to alternative energy sources. However, before we do that, let’s look at the top 20 products which will have to be made differently:
Petroleum is a fossil fuel that is used to make thousands of products, including:
Plastics: Used in cars, houses, toys, computers, and clothing
Gasoline: A major use of petroleum
Diesel fuel: A major use of petroleum
Heating oil: A major use of petroleum
Asphalt: Used in road construction
Synthetic rubber: Used in tires
Paraffin wax: Used in cosmetics, chewing gum, and scented candles
Acrylic resin: Used in dentures
Poloxamer 407: A petroleum derivative used in toothpaste to help dissolve oil-based ingredients in water
Liquified petroleum gas (LPG): Used in dry shampoo to spray the cosmetic into dry hair
Petrochemicals: Used in the manufacturing of solar panels and solar cell parts
Nylon: Used in synthetic fibers for rugs
Fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides: Made from petroleum
Detergents: Made from petroleum
Phonograph records: Made from petroleum
Photographic film: Made from petroleum
Furniture: Made from petroleum
Packaging materials: Made from petroleum
Surfboards: Made from petroleum
Granted, film and records are quite outdated, although still produced. When the left has a solution for replacing all of these products with ones not using petroleum, I’ll listen. Until then, it’s just another problem created by the left with no solution except to blame others.
Looks like a plate full of greasy grape leaves wrapped around some thing....roasted camel thighs?
See you at their version of The Holiday Inn!
Now it’s not “climate change”, but “climate catastrophe”. We’re DOOOOOMED!
The funny thing is the greasy stuffed cabbage is the number one must try dish. I didn’t bother to look at the rest.
They just made it up so they could control us and steal our money
Dear COP29. There is ZERO net zero on this planet. Next!
Climate has always changed...like duh.
And I actually believe that as our population grows, Co2 necessary to sustain food for that population must also grow.
The Paris agreement is a treaty . Formally refer it to Senate where it belongs — and will die forever.
Why should Americans carry the burden when China, India, probably Russia and others are increasing their use of ‘dirty’ fuels like coal and that rat bastard natural gas?
If they want to talk to me about “climate” they can stare at my middle finger.
Sorry, no more American taxpayer money for this climate hoax.

The policies, and wasted money fighting a false future, is what is ruining lives and the economy.
There is a dearth of atmospheric CO 2, we need More more and MORE of it. It is life enhancing, life giving. Why else would the fascistic communist left be putting all their eggs in that basket?
