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.

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!
