Nearly 200 Countries Agree to Transition Away from “Fossil” Fuels at COP28 Summit

This is similar to the “Abraham Accords,” where Jared Kushner realized that you can actually just bribe politicians into signing deals.

The white countries don’t need to be bribed, because apparently, white people believe in global warming so strongly that they are willing to poison the earth with chemicals that will basically never go away through all of these “green energy” scams.

If you look at any of this stuff – specifically solar and wind power – it is all just a totally irresponsible poisoning of the earth, which is only possible because the people doing it claim to be saving the earth from carbon. Carbon is natural and helpful and “the gas of life.” But they’ve just lied about it for so long, people will believe whatever.

Brown countries don’t care, and Asians are smart enough to realize it’s a scam, so the plan was to bribe them all. That’s what John Kerry has been working on since he left politics.

The Guardian:

Nearly 200 countries at the Cop28 climate summit have agreed to a deal that for the first time calls on all nations to transition away from fossil fuels to avert the worst effects of climate change.

After two weeks of at times fractious negotiations in the United Arab Emirates, the agreement was quickly gavelled through by the Cop28 president, Sultan Al Jaber, on Wednesday morning. He received an ovation from delegates and a hug from the UN climate chief, Simon Stiell.

Despite the urging of more than 130 countries and scientists and civil society groups, the agreement did not include an explicit commitment to phase out or even phase down fossil fuels.

Instead, it reached a compromise that called on countries to contribute to global efforts to transition “away from fossil fuels in energy systems in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science”.

Remember that this is the same “the science” that drove the coronavirus theories.

It’s “science” funded by political organizations for political reasons.

Al Jaber argued that the deal, reached in the hottest year on record, was a comprehensive response to a global stocktake that found countries were failing to live up to the goals of the landmark Paris climate agreement, particularly a commitment to try to limit global heating to 1.5C (2.7F) above preindustrial levels.

“We have delivered a robust action plan to keep 1.5C in reach,” he said. “It is an enhanced, balanced, but make no mistake, a historic package to accelerate climate action. It is the UAE consensus. We have language on fossil fuel in our final agreement for the first time ever.”

Countries from the global south and climate justice advocates said the text fell short of what was needed on emissions reductions and finance to help the most vulnerable cope with worsening extreme weather and heat, and included language that appeared to placate fossil fuel interests.

There was confusion in the plenary hall shortly after the agreement was passed as many parties had assumed there would be a debate over the text. The Alliance of Small Island States, representing 39 countries, said it had not been in the room when the deal was adopted as it was still coordinating its response.

Its lead negotiator, Anne Rasmussen, from Samoa, did not formally object to the agreement and believed the deal had good elements, but said the “the process has failed us” and the text included a “litany of loopholes”. “We have made an incremental advancement over business as usual when what we really needed is an exponential step change in our actions and support,” she said. Her speech was met with a standing ovation.

Most praise for the deal focused on the call to transition away from coal, oil and gas. Prof Johan Rockström, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said: “No, the Cop28 agreement will not enable the world to hold the 1.5C limit, but yes, the result is a pivotal landmark. This agreement delivers on making it clear to all financial institutions, businesses and societies that we are now finally – eight years behind the Paris schedule – at the true ‘beginning of the end’ of the fossil fuel-driven world economy.”

The UN secretary general, António Guterres, tweeted: “Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase-out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.”

The bulbous man says, as children are getting shot point-blank in schools in Gaza.

Just think about this logically: if it really was going to raise the temperature, globally, by 1.5°C (and it’s not, but if it was) – what difference would it make?

Would it be worth destroying the world over?

Would it be worth surrendering the global economy to a group of criminals?
