Same shit, different year. I hate them all with a passion. Lets kill the planet for short term profits...
- But they'll be dead by that time, so fuck the rest of us.
  
  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
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.
Reminder that Saudi Arabia has a whole-ass plan to actually surge and increase oil consumption. They also reached out to people during COP28 at the UAE for oil deals with other countries.

Climate Town has a really good video about how fucked the COP is becoming, apparently.

EDIT: I am double-stupid. Edited for accurate message.
- COP28 was in the UAE, not Saudi Arabia
  
  Totally got them mixed up, fixed my comment. Thanks!
And the on after that will be in Brazil, which is already trying to become an OPEC+ member.
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.
