Thank You for Emitting: The Hypocrisies of COP29

COP29 was always going to be memorable, for no other reason than the hosting country, Azerbaijan, is a petrostate indifferent to the issue of emissions and scornful of ecological preachers.

In Baku, at the Latest Global Confab on Climate, Hand-Wringing Abounds

The world desperately needs to pull the plug on fossil fuels.
