| At least the PM went to the COP this year it seems without being embarrassed into going. Even Dubai had its problems just before the COP with floods. Australia has been waiting with anxiety for the first cyclone of the season. Life threatening flooding now expected. Sydney has just had its hottest fortnight of weather. https://www.weatherzone.com.au/news/australia-s-2022-23-tropical-cyclone-season-is-here/902501 At least the PM turned up at the COP in Dubai this time without it seems having been embarrassed into going. Liz Truss told the King not to go when she was PM. Nigel Lawson's Global Warming Policy Foundation in whatever form it has now morphed into in Tufton Street are still around and donations being accepted from oil and gas companies and family trusts. You can't expect all people needing security to take the same plane but it is a shame that so many private planes seem to be used instead of commercial flights. We know there's going to be a lot of oil and gas lobbying but there does need to be others there to reduce their oil and gas worshipping fest and to showcase other innovations such as all the work being done in the area on clean green energy. The UAE has the experimental eco-city Masdar. Just like everywhere changes are made and there are new innovations and inventions as time passes. https://www.fastcompany.com/90995444/the-uaes-green-city-is-a-cautionary-tale-its-hard-to-build-a-climate-haven-no-matter-how-much-oil-money-you-have |
