All right, folks!
Here's today's review of COP28's opening days.
There's some contextualizing of the Sultan's recent remarks within a long history of such conferences walking on eggshells because they've been overrun by Big Oil.
Also? You get a taste of how Colombia's president both advances great reforms and also can't help but put his foot in it when speaking about them.
How can we ever tackle the #ClimateCrisis when we can't even say the words we need to at COP28?
And not one dag-blasted moment sooner!
@MLClark Frightening
I agree. I have five nephews, and I love kids in general; my heart aches for the world we're leaving them, simply because we don't have the collective will to tax big business out of politics.
We just have to keep pushing for change where we can, though, eh?
And strive for greater kindness and understanding all around.
@MLClark It seems at Cop28 the foxes are in charge of the henhouse. Thank you for the reporting.
@MLClark: Once the oil folks figure out how to themselves rake in money via alternative energy sources and infrastructure, they'll start allowing more conversation.
