Yes COP 28.

Hard to believe the thousands who attend the Climate Bulltish of conference of parties COP
have been doing it for 27 years and achieved bugger all.

Australia is sending 50 suits who can handle a microphone and a laptop,
but wouldn't know how to use a spade.

Hundreds of private jets, in the "low carbon" area of Dubai.

A slew of new reports showed countries are wildly off track on limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Instead, the world is on course for warming of up to a catastrophic 2.9 degrees, according to the United Nations Environment Programme — and that’s even if current climate policies are met.
As countries gather in Dubai for the UN’s COP28 climate summit, there are “high expectations,” said Harjeet Singh, the head of global political strategy at nonprofit Climate Action Network International. “At the same time, we are seeing much lower commitment from countries.”
They are “backtracking,” he told CNN.

While one year alone cannot determine the success or failure of global climate action, said Kaveh Guilanpour, vice president for international strategies at the non-profit Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, “the world is still not treating this as an emergency, and that’s the fundamental problem.”
Huge oil and gas projects approved

Fossil fuels had a strong year in 2023, with several major projects approved, despite a warning from the IEA two years ago that there can be no more investment into new fossil fuel projects if the world is to meet international climate goals.
“If you’re expanding fossil fuels, you are backtracking,” said Singh.
Yet in March, the Biden administration approved the massive and controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska. The area to be drilled holds 600 million barrels of oil, enough to release 9.2 million metric tons of planet-heating pollution, according to the administration’s figures. That’s equivalent to adding 2 million gas-powered cars to the roads.

We'll be Back for the dining and grog

The suits will eat lobster, drink French champagne.

They will be back next year
Maybe steaks, ribs and whiskey in the States?

Could help Biden's chances if he remembers.

Expand

Yeah I'll like to have a private jet as well

Kissinger won't be needing his
