    They’re hosting a climate change conference in Azerbaijan? A country that’s mainly known for its oil production?

    Are the UN even trying to pretend they’re acting in our best interest at this point?

      There are regional rotation rules, and Russia vetoed every other possible location in the region

        So Russia alone can influence the outcome to the point of making the entire conference a laughing stock. Seems like a pretty big fuck up to me.

    So these are the people trying to kill the planet. So we need a group of international representatives to do the opposite. 29Poc.

      I’d argue that they aren’t specifically trying to make the planet uninhabitable for life as we know it, they’re just trying to make a boatload of money selling a product whose side effect is that the more of it that’s used, the faster the planet becomes Mercury 2.
