Ich kenne Menschen die mit dem Segelboot zur #cop30 wollen. Da man bei der #Cop29 nur mit dem Flugzeug anreisen konnte.
Was für eine Frace wenn man dann direkt über die neu durch den Regenwald geschlagene Autobahn fährt.
Ich Frage mich ja immer wer schaut sich das an und wägt das ab und denkt sich:
Die Autobahn durch den Regenwald ist besser als der Imageschaden.
Vom Kilmaschaden erwarte ich ja gar nicht das sie darüber nachdenken das ist ja viel zu abstrakt.

The road under construction
www.bbc.comAmazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summitThe infrastructure required to host COP30 in Belém is undermining the cause, campaigners say.

Just a reminder. The mere *announcement* of a Chinese bullshit generator (#AI) was enough to convince investors to withdraw $1T from NASDAQ index stocks.

That is 3 years of full funding of the entire paris climate accord (post #COP29 tripling of the goal). Or about 100 years of Biden's maximal pledge.

Invested in a speculation about US AI dominance tentative enough to be shaken by a single news event.

"#Covid struck & the climate movement has yet to recover. The crises of #affordability & #housing compete for folk's attention while sharing the same root cause: corporate greed & complicit governments. Throw in a disastrous American election, another flop of a COP conference & the 2024 mood got dark."

The shadow of consulting firms (and #TonyBlair) on climate negotiations

by Emanuele Bompan, 04 APR 2024

"Tony Blair has a long history of support for #FossilFuel projects, especially in Central Asia (in 2014 he became an advisor to the consortium for the #TransAdriaticPipeline - #TAP, to bring Azeri gas to Italy), and a green-wash with wind turbines on TBI website is not enough to clarify where he currently stands for. The same can be said for all the consultancy firms that made billions of euros through contracts with the oil and gas sector, deals that are perfectly legal but can raise concerns when the same consultancy firms become agents and advisers to governments should serve the interests of citizens, not private companies."

At COP29, Western imperialists once again skirt responsibility as climate crisis deepens

"Even this paltry amount paid into climate financing programs only further enriches the Global North. While some funding comes through grants, 80% is in the form of loans, often at high interest, that also require developing countries to purchase goods and services from the loaning country, meaning significantly higher costs for projects for already debt-strapped countries and billions of dollars siphoned back to the wealthiest countries.

These funds are meant to support developing nations with adaptation measures, compensation for loss and damage from extreme weather and to transition energy systems off fossil fuels. But loan repayments limit developing countries from actually implementing the climate solutions that the funds were meant to cover, while more extreme weather events add to the ongoing debt trap for the countries impacted most severely by climate change"
