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.
Cop29 will be the second year in a row that the UN’s most important climate talks will be hosted by a petrostate heavily reliant on fossil fuel production, after Cop28 was held in the United Arab Emirates.
Dang what a coincidence.
The head of Azerbaijan’s state gas distribution network is also on the committee.
How weird that this happened, what are the chances?
The Cop29 president-designate, who will be responsible for bringing together countries to drive climate action, is Mukhtar Babayev, the minister of ecology and natural resources.
Babayev previously spent 26 years working for the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (Socar). Azerbaijan plans to increase its fossil fuel production by a third over the next decade, the Guardian revealed recently.
Huh, wow. These crazy coincidences just keep happening.
They happens because the location has to rotate across regions, and be agreed upon by consensus. Petrostates (most recently Russia) block non-petrostates from hosting.
Do you have a source for that? Thats kind of fucked up
Here’s what happened with the most recent one. Russia was vetoing every possibility, and then (after the article was published) said ‘yes’ to Azerbaijan
COP has always been regressive and shocking and shockingly regressive
Glad to see they’re focusing on meaningful change

Climate change affects men more than women. I mean have you ever seen man flu?
