Don’t Look Up, it’s better that way. I feel your despair, your need to scream and tantrum. When WILL we eventually “look up”, my guess is not until IT can be touched. That means not until about COP25….and mostly dead.

We are already at COP29 https://unfccc.int/cop29

"Conferences of parties" (COP).
They're just big conferences.

It's two cops, biodiversity cop and climate cop

Thanks:-) That helps the learning curve.

They could just say that they wrote the homework, but it was eaten by a wildfire.
P.S. Finally, Columbia is hosting Columbian Pesos (COP).

Oh no, however will I sleep soundly without their false promises.
Net 0 by whenever. Venus by Tuesday.

They can't simultaneously fulfill those pledges while chasing growth. So yes, miss it they will.

The spaces that nature takes up have more financial value than nature itself. So we're just going to plow through everything that's left until we've squeezed every last penny from it.

There are 195 UN countries. I'm not surprised Sri Lanka cannot pledge a climate the workers get kidney problems to slave over wealth sold to colonialist China. I mean Zimbabwe was not going to climate. No body climates like the Europeans do. Before you criticize me I am on a bus on the way home talking shit about the UN. The one that failed UA so poorly we almost let Putin into Poland. The one with more resolutions against Israel but silence when it comes to (deleted) [deleted]
Copout 2025 is in the country with a methane cloud visible from space? Will Putin attend? Remember, if wildlife was worth it's weight in oil, the WWF would be invaded by Big Wildlife. Sadly, oil has a lot more horsepower than horses. COPout 2025 is a joke

LOL, LMAO even! Tuka donka intensifies!

Well, I guess the UN will have to revoke their Chick-Fil-A 10% discount cards!
(just kidding, everyone knows the UN doesn't have that much enforcement power...)

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Portalrules123:
SS: Related to collapse as this statistic shows just how seriously the world is taking the issue of collapsing biodiversity, which is to say not seriously at all. Especially pertinent is the fact that most mega diverse countries have failed to submit pledges, such as those in the Amazon and Congo Basins. Expect COP16 to be more like COPE16 as the United Nations continues to be treated like the joke that it has largely become. To be fair, how was a system without the power to compel countries to do anything supposed to succeed at combatting biodiversity loss in the first place? They have been set up to fail from the start. But hey, at least this COP is in Colombia rather than in Azerbaijan….
