Cop 29 is in the trash can of history. This was the 2024 version of the United Nations summit on solving global climate change. When we describe what happened, listeners will think we're joking (we're not). The Chief Executive of the conference offered to exchange oil and gas leases for sponsorships. The big announcement was money for poor countries, but the conference didn't bother to identify the source of this money; they skipped the part where they said where the money would come from. They just announced that there would be money, from an unknown source, and adjourned.
