Only the NYTs could look at all the pro-fossil fuel insanity that has come out of this conference and say “ackshually, it’s good”. What a trash rag.
Sure love all these articles whitewashing and still downplayng iit all. The planet is on fucking fire. We are beyond ‘acknowledgements’. We need to do something. And what we chose to do was let the fucking Saudis run the show like fucking dumbasses.
We’re so fucked.
Its always fun watching the media machine work in real time. COP was a joke to begin with, it was a joke at the end. Nothing in that statement has any real measurements on how/when they are going to stop fossil fuel use and that’s because they legitimately don’t have one. The profit margins, the societal infrastructure that is built on fossil fuel use make them not want to touch it. They are addicted to constant non-stop GDP growth and nothing gets them there faster then using fossil fuels.

Yeah, I cannot click on the article because of that title, it’s ridiculous
They kinda, sorta, technically uh…
said they are gonna “phase-out” fossil fuel use, without saying the words “phase-out” because that would hurt oil nations’ feelings.
The wording on “unabated” coal usage stays because fuck our climate I guess.
I have to say, after 30 years of UN climate negotiations the fact that “fossil fuels” finally showed up in a consensus text is actually an accomplishment. Sometimes when the dam breaks things can accelerate quickly…
