Nations begin 3 weeks of grueling climate talks online

BERLIN (AP) — Officials from around the globe begin three weeks of grueling climate talks Monday that will involve grappling with a number of thorny political issues without the benefit of face-to-face meetings, due to pandemic restrictions.

The U.N. climate office in Bonn, Germany, has designed a schedule of virtual sessions that will see negotiators share the burden of joining meetings before dawn, during the afternoon or late at night — depending on their respective time zones.

Negotiations will focus on resolving some of the outstanding issues arising from the 2015 Paris climate accord, including rules for international carbon markets, harmonizing countries’ timeframes for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing aid to developing nations. Progress on all of those issues is seen as key to making the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow in November a success. However, due to concerns about the format, no official decisions are expected at the virtual talks that run until June 17.

The Glasgow meeting will be a key test for international efforts to curb global warming before it reaches critical levels in the coming decades.

Concerns have been expressed that unless the coronavirus pandemic is firmly beaten back by fall, the U.N. summit could be delayed for a second time, or held online, a format that many developing countries object to.

But former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is President Joe Biden’s special envoy on climate change, has said he expects the Glasgow summit to go ahead.

“I absolutely do,” Kerry told The Associated Press in mid-May. “And I think great steps will be taken to help make sure it does. I think it’s very important that it does.”

I thought hot air was bad for global warming.

Grueling! Sounds too difficult. Perhaps they should just give up. Stupid $hits.

Hi.

So, the pandemic is leading us to global climate change which will lead us to the Great Reset and one world order.

Methinks this is causing ammo price inflation.

Bloat anyway if you can. My DI always said that you can never have enough ammo.

The “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE” summit.

Or, how to fleece the sheeples.

So, if they are doing it online shouldn’t the International Association of Sex Workers be protesting? International conferences are their bread and butter.

Not the Babylon Bee?

But seriously, meeting online is the only responsible thing for these people to do.

"grueling" climate talks

Like it's so hard to discuss ways in which to frighten and then bilk taxpayers and corporations.

Yes, I'm sure the labor of deciding whether to try the foie gras au torchon or morceaux is almost too great to endure, and many delegates will collapse due to exhaustion while staggering from the buffet to their tables.

50% reductions in carbon emissions for developed nations except for carbon offsets which the elite may be able to purchase. China and India are both off the hook as usual.

Not because they care about the environment, but because delay in conference is delay in the anticipated gravy train of transfer payments to undeveloped countries. These transfers will be heralded as helping them with green development, but IMHO, will largely go to their kleptocrats-in-charge.

Using Zoom, I am sure. Certainly not smoke signals since those would be bad for the environment, and definitely not airplanes. /s

If the little troll girl going to act again?
