When you look at the catastrophic damage that #ClimateChange is *already* causing, and then you look at governments all over the world saying that they want to keep burning fossil fuels for decades to come and making things even worse, the only question I find I can ask is:
"What the absolute fuck is wrong with people?"

Not at all surprising, but still really bad news from COP30.
"Nearly 200 countries at the U.N. climate summit reached a deal that didn’t include a road map to curtail use of fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change."
"The deal, reached at the annual United Nations climate talks in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, represents a win for the oil, gas and coal industries and underscores the extent to which the global political environment has shifted since the same group struck the Paris agreement a decade ago."

“Oil companies must pay part of this. Mining companies must pay part of this. Those who earn large fortunes must pay part of this”.
What President Lula said was right, but what we are seeing in the COP negotiations is the exact opposite.

Global companies are still committing to protect the climate – and they’re investing big money in clean tech

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all #Cop30 delegations except Brazil. The Philippines by nearly 50 to 1
and Jamaica by 40 to 1 🤮
But the true extent of fossil fuel influence is likely to be higher, as more than half of all country delegation members at Cop30 withheld or obscured details of their affiliations!

Tropenwaldfonds: Merz brüskiert Brasilien – Die Verantwortung liegt auch bei Klingbeil
Bei der Klimakonferenz COP30 in Belém kommt Deutschland ohne konkrete Finanzzusage für den Tropenwaldfonds TFFF. Kanzler Merz ist mutlos, aber die entscheidende Blockade kommt aus dem Finanzministerium.Thomas Krumenacker (RiffReporter)
If our planet were a patient, it would be admitted to intensive care. Its vital signs are alarming. It is running a high fever, with average global temperatures increasing year after year. Its lung capacity is compromised, with the destruction of forests that absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. & many of the earth's water sources - its lifeblood - are contaminated. Most concerning of all, its condition is deteriorating

How the US cut climate-changing emissions while its economy more than doubled
A fast drop in coal use played a big role, but there was more, as these charts show.The Conversation
Pro-Kopf sind die CO2-Emissionen des Verkehrs in #Wien am niedrigsten, vor Vorarlberg. Wien hat als Großstadt den Vorteil eines dichten Öffi-Netzes und, dass die Bevölkerung in der Regel kürzere Wege zum Einkaufen, zu sozialen Infrastrukturen oder zu Bildungseinrichtungen hat. Viele Alltagswege können zu Fuß gegangen werden. 1/5
Auf der #COP30 muss Merz muss liefern: Wer #Klimaschutz fordert, aber selbst aussteigt, verliert international jede Glaubwürdigkeit und schadet sich letztlich am meisten. Wir sind vor Ort und machen Druck. Der Bundeskanzler und der Bundesumweltminister müssen in Brasilien Verantwortung zeigen!

UN secretary António Guterres is right.
“Every fraction of a degree higher means more hunger, more displacement, more economic hardship and more lives and ecosystems lost."
Fossil fuel companies are deceiving the public and undermining climate progress. Every dollar poured into subsidies for fossil fuels is a dollar diverted from our health, our communities and shared future.
