    How about they add someone who’s not a fucking fossil fuel shill?

    COP is no longer real. It’s a fake conference of oil representatives whose goal is to control the global narrative on climate change. Ignore them and their press releases. Nothing COP does can reasonably be considered in good faith.

      I find this article to be pretty representative of where we are as a species. Instead of focusing on the potentially world ending problem in front of us we’re fussing over the genitalia of a small group of people who are sort of tangentially related to solving said problem.

      There’s other layers to it as well which you partially addressed but the whole thing just seems so absurd when you take a step back and see it from a broader perspective. We have no collective prioritization skills. That inability to focus on what’s actually important could legitimately kill us all.

        They aren’t even tangentially related to the solution. We need to crush that myth. These are oil producers that are concerned only with how to maximize their profits from the remaining oil supply. There has been 28 of these conferences so far and not a I gel thing has been fixed. They spent the first two days of the conference arguing over the term “phasing out”.

        The only way the climate crises will ever be fixed is with democratic control of heavy industry.
