Azerbaijan gets a nod to host COP29
Ah yes, host the climate summit in an authoritarian fossil fuel exporting country, it has never caused problems.
If these deals depend on Saudi Arabia they were destined to fail anyway.
What the heck do all these barren desert states plan on doing to mitigate their own exposure to climate change? Like is their approach to preserving themself now (like air conditioners up the wazoo?) sustainable, how is it going to play out for them specifically?
From where I’m standing, their plan looks a lot like “buy tons of air conditioners and otherwise ignore the problem”
Beyond insane and unhinged of them. Fuck, how sweet would it be to have some energy breakthru and say fucking

Whoever does surprised Pikachu face now has been living under a rock for the last century.
The answer should be pretty simple: make a parallel more stringent deal inviting signatories to some open market for goods to European and American markets, Put in some control measures so that everyone stands by their word and state preconditions to join for countries who owe fossil fuel extraction and steel or cement production over 30% of their gross national income.
