The countries committed to permanently ending fossil fuel use now far outnumber those against. Their problem? Their chief organising conference, the 30-year-old COP conferences, comes with vetoes from the petro-states. This year, 1,600 fossil industry lobbyists attended, and they managed to get any mention of fossil fuels scrubbed from the final agreement.
This ridiculous state of affairs can’t continue, and this is a classic move to break the deadlock. Sideline COP & the petrostates, by creating an alternative, they don’t have power in.
renewables are already the cheapest form of power, there’s no excuse to be building new coal power plants in 2025
Yeah, but the smaller the difference is, the less stupid they have to be to make the wrong decision. The bigger the difference is, the more nincompoops will make the right decision.
as in my other post, they don’t give a shit, they are digging up the majority of their own coal anyway
