Greta Thunberg fuses Palestinian cause with climate change & slams COP28 outcome ‘as another betrayal & a stab in the back’

Climate strike week 278. The final outcome of #COP28 is not a “historic win”, it is yet another example of extremely vague and watered down texts full of loopholes that in no way is even close to being sufficient for staying within the 1,5° limit and ensure climate justice.

“The final outcome of #COP28 is not a ‘historic win,'” Thunberg tweeted. “It is yet another example of extremely vague and watered-down texts full of loopholes that in no way is even close to being sufficient for staying within the 1.5° limit and ensuring climate justice.

Thunberg: We need drastic immediate emission cuts

“Phasing out fossil fuels is a bare minimum,” she wrote in the three-part thread. “We need drastic immediate emission cuts and binding commitments from the largest contributors of the climate crisis to finance loss and damages, adaptation and a just transition in the most affected areas.”

She ended with a harsh: “Let’s call this COP out for what it is – another betrayal and a stab in the back.”

Thunberg said in a video interview with Reuters at the protest that the deal has “once again proven” that the COP processes are not working to solve the climate crisis, but are instead “an alibi for world leaders to say that ‘oh, we signed this’ and then not doing anything. If the COPs had led to anything, we would have seen results by now.”
