        That is basically it, or they think they will be on mars. Which is funny because we have trouble landing a rover on mars and they think they gonna live there

          Or they think carbon capture at scale will eventually turn out to be successful by the unrelenting tenacity of human ingenuity.

            Maybe they should leave some forests that will actually help. Natures carbon capture. But yeah… money…

    They’re hosting a climate change conference in Azerbaijan? A country that’s mainly known for its oil production?

    Are the UN even trying to pretend they’re acting in our best interest at this point?

      There are regional rotation rules, and Russia vetoed every other possible location in the region

        So Russia alone can influence the outcome to the point of making the entire conference a laughing stock. Seems like a pretty big fuck up to me.

          The whole UN is like that; it functions as a forum to talk, not an effective place to set policy.

    So these are the people trying to kill the planet. So we need a group of international representatives to do the opposite. 29Poc.

      I’d argue that they aren’t specifically trying to make the planet uninhabitable for life as we know it, they’re just trying to make a boatload of money selling a product whose side effect is that the more of it that’s used, the faster the planet becomes Mercury 2.
