COP29 climate diplomacy delivers perfectly vague promises a decade away
https://www.cfact.org/2024/11/25/cop-29-diplomacy-delivers-perfectly-vague-promises-a-decade-away/ By David Wojick In Cop 29’s “Finance agreement” diplomacy is truly the art of agreeing to nothing. There is no agreement of substance here because there is no substance to this agreement. Each side gets its number someday and that is all there is to it. Let’s look at the actual text to see […]
COP29: The Globalist Climate Grift Collides with Trump’s America First Renaissance
COP29: The Globalist Climate Grift Collides with Trump’s America First Renaissance By Charles Rotter As COP29 wrapped up in Baku, it left behind a trail of broken promises, hollow platitudes, and a $300 billion-per-year climate finance pledge that’s already being treated like Monopoly money. For the attendees, this summit was supposed to be a turning […]
How Saudi Arabia Turned Back Climate Progress at COP29: ‘Was crucial in making sure none of the major outcomes called for nations to move away from fossil fuels’
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-25/cop29-how-saudi-arabia-and-its-allies-undermined-progress By Akshat Rathi, Jennifer A Dlouhy, and John Ainger Saudi Arabia and its allies had two words they didn’t want to see repeated in a COP29 deal: “fossil fuels.” The faction got their way after two weeks of bitter negotiations in Azerbaijan, reversing gains made in earlier climate talks and helping to knock this year’s proceedings off track.

Cop29 deal fails to consider inflation so is not tripling of target, economists say – ‘Poor nations will in effect get billions less in value from £300bn pledge’

COP FLOP: A ‘paltry’ $300 billion climate finance deal on offer, is COP of any benefit anymore

COP FLOP: ‘Woefully inadequate’: activists slam COP29 UN climate finance deal – ‘A death sentence for the millions on the climate front lines’ & ‘The world is still on course for runaway collapse’
A report produced for the UN talks by economic experts concluded that developing countries outside China would need $2.4 trillion a year by 2030 – a four-fold increase in total global climate investments. It proposed that around $1 trillion a year would come from domestic budgets, with the rest raised by a combination of public and private finance. This could include novel global forms of taxation, such as on financial transactions, extreme wealth, and frequent flying. Countries also disagreed over who should contribute. The donor base for the $100 billion comprises the 24 countries who were members of the OECD in 1992 when the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was signed.
Developed countries such as the US and EU argued that countries that have since become wealthier and emit high levels of greenhouse gases such as China and Saudi Arabia should now pay into the new fund. The final agreed text calls for “all actors” to scale up funds from “all public and private sources”, and leaves an option for voluntary donations from other countries that have not previously donated.
Jasper Inventor, head of the COP29 Greenpeace delegation, called the agreement “woefully inadequate”, adding that it was “overshadowed by the level of despair and scale of action needed”.
WaterAid described the deal as a “death sentence for millions” and labelled the sum a “mere fraction”.
Lesley Pories, lead policy analyst for water, sanitation and hygiene finance at WaterAid, said: “Failure to deliver on its most anticipated financial commitment at the so-called ‘finance COP’ is nothing less than a death sentence for the millions on the climate front lines.” “The clue is in the name. Next year countries will try for the 30th time. What is clear is the era of oil and gas must end: fast, fairly and forever.”
Just Stop Oil called for people to “get off our screens and on to the streets”, adding: “Twenty-nine COPs with the fossil fuel lobby at the helm, and the world is still on course for runaway collapse.”
Extinction Rebellion also slammed the summit. “The clue is in the name. Next year countries will try for the 30th time. What is clear is the era of oil and gas must end: fast, fairly and forever.”
MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen rejects the climate being governed by ‘simply a function of one parameter — CO2’ – Laments those ‘wishing to canonize it in international law,’ which ‘would set back the science of climate generations’
