... many developing nations have insisted on having an in-person COP. They feel that it is far easier for their voices to be ignored on a dodgy Zoom connection.

...There's some evidence that this works. In 2015, the presence of island states and vulnerable nations was key to securing the commitment to limit temperature changes to 1.5C in the Paris Agreement...

...don't expect to see to many overnight changes across the world as a result of these steps. They are all likely to have long lead-in times, with more flexibility on dates shown towards developing countries...

25,000 private jets with VIP passengers getting into stretch limos and big SUVs to go to eat steak dinners at the confab.

Why don’t they just cut to the chase and drop this global warming charade...Just tell the U.S. to start handing over plane fulls of cash.

And in exchange for the plane fulls of cash, let’s relieve them of the burden of capitalist fruits imposed on them by America. Let’s start with computers, the internet, cell phones, American medicines and clothing, etc. And let’s set the example of sustainability by producing only what our own citizens need so foreign aid shall stop also.

I used to drive around LA and see all these homeless...Thousands everywhere, lots were veterans etc...And even those with jobs couldn’t afford a 60 year old cookie cutter home.....Then I’d hear about the hundreds of billions routinely looted from the American treasure and just given away to these foreign nations, most of whom hate us. Disgusting. Hard to believe Americans have allowed all this.

What’s bad also is how little of the foreign aid actually makes it to the suffering citizens rather than someone’s Swiss account.

Sure, all the warming gases have to be bumped up for them.

After all, they are saving the planet.

They could stop “climate change” in its tracks if they would end these ridiculous boondoggles.
