Anyone else find it weird that COPs are continuously held in countries that benefit from halting progress on climate change? UAE, Azerbaijan (major producer of methane gas), Brazil (destroying the Amazon rainforest), and then possibly Australia (major exporter of coal).
It's time to hold it in places that actually suffer the consequences of climate change. Hopefully one of the pacific islands host the COP31.
Sure, but they better have luxury hotels and airports, fuel and maintenance facilities for the many private jets the elites like to travel on before telling us little people how we must give it all up.
It's total nonsense.
We'll figure it out next year.
Or maybe the year after that.
Couldn't fool a kindergarten teacher in a coma.
It's beyond insulting.
Progress is frustratingly slow. However, I think that the text on reducing fossil fuel consumption is a big achievement, given that the chairman of the conference is the CEO of an oil company.
a little disappointed that this meeting wrote basically nothing into stone (like usual). but they are finally limiting fossil foul production, which is good
Strange that Alejandro Alba chose to omit a major controversy concerning the triple renewables. China and India chose not to sign the pledge. Why? They are and have been expanding their dependency on coal. They are building one coal plant a week and don’t plan to stop for 15 years. China is the biggest source of CO2 emissions. While people continually attack the US for not doing enough even though we have improved our output over time, even decreasing over the last how many years? (*voices in the background * But it’s still not enough! * yeah shut up! We are decreasing it! *). China and India’s CO2 emissions have been getting out of control and they don’t care.
China and India and e main polluters now, but if you add up total CO2 emissions, I bet that the US is still number one.
And this is a fairer metric, especially because the amount of extra emissions due to fossil fuels stays in the atmosphere.
So the US (and Europe!) should really be taking CO2 out of the atmosphere now, just to give other countries more space to grow.
@@diedertspijkerboer not even close. China’s CO2 emissions have been consistently increasing year over year while the US emissions has been declining. Why do you believe that the US is so high? You haven’t done any type of research given the amount of speculation in your response. Why would you look foolish with such a post? Read up on some NONBIAS articles and papers about this topic. Good grief
Please... you limit fossil fuel production who benefits when the price goes sky high?
Less work/ costs,more profits.
Sounds like a good deal for producers.
Let me guess you think global warming is a lie 🙈
@@josephfuller6229 No the Planet does warm up and cool down over time.
The question is if the climate is affected by humans?
It may very well be, but certainly not by CO2 which is the new boogey man all the world's goverment funded scientist say these days.
You trust the government to tell you the truth, do you?
CO2 is only 0.03% of the Atmosphere 80% of that is naturally produced. Below 0.02% all plants die.
You really think that CO2 is killing the planet because government funded studies tell you?
Now pollution is man made and a real and present danger to the planet.
Like Japan pumping endless metric tons of radioactive waste water into the Pacific.
You know what the government did after levels of radiation that exceeded safe levels were detected in the waters off California?
They raised the number of the minimum safe levels of exposure to radiation!
Problem solved!
So whatever the government says on man made climate change is not 100% fact.
Especially, when you have scientist saying they write papers that bolster the government's claims because they are afraid to lose funding.
@@josephfuller6229Limiting production just drives up prices and profits for the producer. The demand is still there.
Just like Joe Biden!!!
