      Like the planet has been “verging” on a climate catastrophe for a century. Just keep it verging like that, and we’ll all be ok!

        As the guy falling from the top of the Empire State Building was heard saying half-way down: “So far, so good!”

    Really, why the hell did they organize a climate conference in a country completely dependent on selling fossil fuels. What did they expect…

    This is worse than a footgun.

    Not even to mention the human rights questions of course.

      More than 99% of people reject Green parties, and instead keep voting for parties and politicians subsidizing a mass extinction. Would it be ethically correct for the 1% of people who don’t want a mass extinction, to keep killing the omnicidal class - which the 98% will then find replacements for?

      It’s not just the richest 1% who are the problem - yes they cause vastly more harm than the rest, but it’s also the other 98% poorest who vote for the most violent, Machiavellian, narcissists there are to rule them.

    "unless you want to take the world back into caves.”

    ironically a likely scenario with runaway climate change overworking above ground air conditioning.

      I’d rather live in a cave for free than sign my life over in servitude for a damp basement closet in the middle of a dystopian toxic shithole. Like, by far.

      They’re doing the good old “Bad COP, good COP” routine. I’m still waiting for the good COP…

      I can’t believe he’s a doctor…

      …no wait, I can, because my friend is a doctor and has encountered a stupid number of anti-vaxxer doctors and nurses.

        And I can’t believe Idi Amin was King of Scotland! But I mean he said he was, so, who am I to question the king?

      “Let’s add special interest and climate deniers to the climate change conference.”

      Most transparent plan ever, yet it still worked.

        Well that’s to keep it fair and balanced, so that the unfair and unbalanced also have their voices heard.
