Following bitter rows, the UN climate summit COP30 in Belém, Brazil has ended with a deal that contains no direct reference to the fossil fuels that are heating up the planet.
It is a frustrating end for more than 80 countries including the UK and EU that wanted the meeting to commit the world to stop using using oil, coal and gas at a faster pace.
But oil-producing nations held the line that they should be allowed to use their fossil fuel resources to grow their economies.
The meeting takes place as the UN says it fears global efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels have failed.
A representative for Colombia furiously criticised the COP presidency for not allowing countries to object to the deal in the final meeting on Saturday, known as a plenary.
"Colombia believes that we have sufficient scientific evidence saying that more than 75% of the global greenhouse gas emissions come from fossil fuels," Daniela Durán González, Colombian Climate Delegate, told BBC News.
"So we do believe it's time that the Convention on Climate Change starts talking about that reality," she added.
The final deal, called the Mutirão, calls on countries to "voluntarily" accelerate their action to reduce their use of fossil fuels.
For the first time, the US did not send a delegation after President Donald Trump said the country will leave the landmark Paris treaty that committed countries to act on climate change in 2015. He has branded climate change "a con".
Veteran negotiator and former Germany climate envoy Jennifer Morgan told the BBC that the US absence was a "hole" in the negotiations. Often the US has supported...

UK and EU want to go back to horses, camp fires and candles ,LOL
The entire Global Warming/Climate Change is collapsing as we watch in real time....as it was always destined to.
They make this sound like a bad thing. Hahaha!
Even while the Hussein/Biden/Harris Regime $$-spigot-$$ for the Globull Hoax was flowing, some companies, bragging they were going to build MASSIVE East Coast offshore wind farms, backed out of the deal, or wouldn’t even start. Despite the tax credits and subsidies (taxpayer $$$) these companies admitted it is not economically feasible.
“Often the US has supported blocs like the EU and UK.”
I’m watching my effing climate change here in Idaho and it pisses me off. Summer is so nice. I’ll have to scoop snow now, burn wood, gas, oil, electricity/coal and all that to stay warm. FO Europe, eat shitz and die. Climate change is good, it brings snow/water, we’ll need it next summer for my jet boat on the Snake River. Did I mention I love Climate Change. 🤪
The UK is still pushing EVs but the ones they buy are Chinese and you can’t bring them near military bases because of spying ,LOL
Spying? Seriously, an EV? Must be Teslas, they got more cameras than amps. I didn’t know China was making them. Crap can’t even trust Elon now. 🥴
I’ve also read reporting that said some of the smaller countries wouldn’t agree to any plan either, unless they were provided with more “financing” from the wealthier nations to counter “climate change harm “. Sounds like a grifter convention to me.

Narco failed state wants what?
“It is a frustrating end for more than 80 countries including the UK and EU that wanted the meeting to commit the world to stop using using oil, coal and gas at a faster pace.”
and yet, no one is preventing EU and UK from stopping using oil, coal, and gas ... they could lead by example, right? ...
That’s exactly what it is.
cut their own throat, slit their wrists and still they are looking for a better way to kill themselves
How much av gas for all the jets and diesel used to mow down 12 miles of rain forest and the building of all the hotels to house the 50,000 people showing up?
