It’s Official: COP28 Is An Utter Farce
<p>COP28 is one of our last chances to save our world. That isn’t hyperbole at all. The carbon budget of the planet will be depleted well within a decade, and the ecological, economic and well-being impacts of global warming past 1.5 degrees (which we are well on track to smash past) will be utterly apocalyptic. There will be billions of climate refugees, widespread risk of starvation as food production tanks, trillions of dollars in property damage, economic downturns larger than any recession, and a direct vast death-toll tanks to frequent and deadly extreme weather across the globe. The only way to stop this catastrophic vision of the future from coming true is binding worldwide fossil fuel phase out legislation. Yet, the head of COP28, Sultan Al Jaber, has scrapped this vital step from the summit draft text. So, why has Jaber done this? Is his alternative to fossil fuel phase out valid (hint, it isn’t)? And can this situation be rectified?</p>
