From CFACT

By Gabriella Hoffman

“This [COP] had the lowest energy. It was palpable. You could feel it. I would hold my hands up and just, you know, sort of close my eyes. It was flat–nothing happening. There was no major world leaders who, it’s other than UK Prime Minister [Keir] Starmer… You had the French Foreign Minister– refused to come for some perceived slight, so an entire delegation of French environmental activists didn’t show up. Then you had Milei of Argentina have a conference call with Donald Trump, and the next day withdraws [the] 170 member delegation fromArgentina. Then you have the opening day of the conference. You have the president of the COP from Azerbaijan, the presiding over the UN Climate Summit, the host country, say oil is a gift from God, which set everyone into a tizzy…They want to ban countries from participating unless they’re completely on message with the UN agenda, and there’s now calls for massive reforms.” – Marc Morano
