Last minute wording change from “coal phase out” to “coal phase down”. Many country delegations upset but wanting to not scuttle the whole deal they begrudgingly went along with it. Delegates from island nations calling the whole thing a failure.

Sorry can’t find an actual article on this, just watched it live on Al Jazeera

Anyone who has any faith in these summits is an absolute moron.

The last summit included an agreement to decrease deforestation by 50% by the year 2020. Now we are in 2021, deforestation actually increased and the COP26 agreement has a provision to decrease deforestation by 2030… It will go like this forever.

Nah it will go on like this for a decade or 2 and then we’ll descend into planet-wide fascism because humans will put up their walls, hoard their resources, and kill each other before they ever cooperate on anything.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
