    Ah yes. No meaningful change in action since last time. Just what we were expecting from a conference led by the President of a national oil company.

        COP29 to be sponsored by Shell in Qatar.

        But I really can’t wait for COP30 sponsored by BP, to be held on the 20th Anniversary of the Deep Horizon incident! I’m sure there will be agreement to ceremonial dumping of oil into the Gulf of Mexico there.

    Well at least we didn’t expect anything useful to come of this conference, so we won’t be too disappointed.

    Well at least this COP has shown that this is not a developed countries vs developing countries situation.

      Pretty much what happens when you let a petrostate host and give oil-dependent monarchs veto power over the text

    When did a COP ever create meaningful change?

    It is happening anyway, whether the people there want it to or not.

      Largely not because the petroleum monarchies have the ability to block text they don’t like.
