…. Again? Is COP just a cabal of state-owned oil companies now?
Yep. The oil and gas industry has successfully taken over the United Nations Climate Change conference.
And yet the switch to renewables continues and hit record use this year 🤷♂️
Unfortunately use of fossil fuels also continues to hit record numbers year after year.
Lol
Why does there even need to be a COP every year? They know what to do, they know what will be enough and they have the authority in their home nations to do it. COP is just theatre.

COP is illegitimate and should be treated as such. It is a meeting of fossil fuel executives and billionaires to discuss how to control global messaging on climate change and how to protect fossil fuel profits. There is no other purpose.
The news should remind their audience of this fact every time they mention it. Excluding this information in an article is complicity.
Regulatory capture is wonderful. Where are they going to spend their money when there’s no society anymore?
Meanwhile, the “green, climate-friendly” US is hitting record oil and record gas production. Pointing at this is deflecting from the real issues: while OPEC has cut production recently, the US is happily filling the void.
That’s the problem: oil’s strategic value makes it impossible for any one party to enforce lower production and higher prices. Any solution needs to consider all stakeholders and set aside moral grandstanding.
