#COP29 ends in betrayal of the Global South. Failure of wealthier countries to deliver sufficient finance shows yet again the sickening injustice & inequality at the heart of this process.

Can someone help me with this? What have we as a country committed to do that other countries can compel us to do if we fail?

Inevitably (sadly)...

As @newsthump.bsky.social said earlier -> https://bsky.app/profile/newsthump.bsky.social/post/3lay7qxjhrd2s I didn't have high hopes for this round. 😞

Not surprised TBH.
Doubt anything will ever happen until they kick out the fossil fuel industry lobbyists & make saving the environment profitable.
If it was then it'd be fixed in a heartbeat.
ATM more would be achieved by saving the emissions & not having the meeting.

I'm guessing money...

These COPs have devolved into masturbatory nonsense. I feel for the delegates from the Global South, but the entire thing needs to be stopped. The COP process is rotten to the core and the UN should say so and proceed differently.

If it weren't so lethal, it would be comical at this point.

"I'm sorry, they had how many of these conferences...?"

Starmer singlehandedly eroding UK's stature and soft power.

We must go all in on green technology development and implementation, and speak up for people who are not heard.

Getting oil producing nations to give up the drug of oil and gas revenues that powers the vast majority of their economy is going to be near impossible. Getting international oil companies to pay the societal costs of their products is again going to be near impossible. We need a carbon tax.

homertrix.bsky.social•97 days ago

That carbon tax needs a dividend associated with it. This offsets the carbon tax costs for the poorest in our society.

As soon as I saw it was to be in Baku, I knew it would be a farce.

Caroline, as much as I agree. We are going to have to define wealthy. The UK 🇬🇧 is no longer wealthy. Unless you include the top 10% who own all the £. We will have to fund an existential war in the next few years plus Brexit. Charity is going to have to start at home soon. 💔

But there us plenty for war
