To summarize the key takeaways I have provided some bullets but I would recommend reading the entire text to understand the exact takeaways. Also, based on previous iterations of the document, I would love to see the redline full version in all its messy glory.

With <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/11/climate-deniers-attend-cop28-talks" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">fossil fuel PR representatives, climate change deniers</a>, and other representatives from groups actively trying to dissuade climate progress, some of the news that was released is quite surprisingly good. <a href="https://williamyounie.medium.com/weekly-climate-recap-cop-wrapped-c24eba8c321e">Read More</a>
