The conference, known as COP29, begins on Monday in Azerbaijan and is one of the most important multilateral talks to include the Taliban, who do not have outside recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan.

Does the damn Taliban give more of a shit about climate change than Republicans!? This is absolutely the shittiest timeline.
Well yeah. It’s already 125F degrees where they are. They damn sure don’t want it to be 126F.
At least both parties share a lot in common otherwise. It’s almost like two nearly identical people hating each other.
They’re competing for the bottom of literacy rates and treatment of women, it’s neck and neck.
At least it’s interesting. They may have been a human right violator but letting them into modern world discussion about modern world issue might put them in different perspective, you never know, given that the climate change hit poorer country harder than richer one. Compared to Republican, which they know the issue but chose to ignore it for profit, Taliban might actually didn’t know or didn’t care about it before as they’re busy having insurgency. Also it’s good to know what they’re up to in terms of environmental issue.
I see them as a poorer, war torn Saudi Arabia, and Saudi is attending a lot of global event.
It will never not be weird to me that the taliban are a “legitimate” government now.
Far from the only terrorist run country in the ME
They were before, they are now. Nothing weird about it, it’s the natural consequence of a failed colonization attempt.
We should require a mixed delegation, equal number of men and women regional managers.
Not for dei for real; just to fuck with human-rights abusers.
Oh. America too then, but they probably won’t go.
America would- this time.
Won’t go to any more, but probably won’t anyway.
The ICC literally has a rule that a country without a women’s team or pathway can’t be full members. But the ICC can’t even be bothered to enforce that rule (and neither can the cricketing world—of full members, only Australia has cancelled matches against Afghanistan in protest, and even we can’t be bothered doing that during multilateral fixtures like world cups), I don’t have much hope that more significant bodies will.
