This is the second in a five-part series on the COP process. In an effort to remove subjectivity from the evaluation of COPโs effectiveness, today weโll examine the emissions data for the period before and after COP.
๐๐ ฟ๐ พ๐ ธ๐ ป๐ ด๐ ๐ ฐ๐ ป๐ ด๐๐:ย I have found no evidence that COP is any different than the overall climate change strategy: it is flawed and generally ineffective.
More evidence of that occurred today when it was reported that Saudi Arabia is opposing efforts to renew its commitments to transition away from fossil fuels. The New York Times and Bloomberg are reporting that the Saudiโs are using โdelaying tactics and block maneuversโ to ensure that the pledge isnโt included in the COP29 agreement.
If you recall, that was one of the โheadline grabbingโ outcomes of last yearโs COP. It no doubt had climate activists doing the happy dance.
Personally, Iโm shocked that the country that amassed a global fortune from oil production is reluctant to euthanize the golden goose.
I really thought they meant it.
This is one of the many glaring faults of COP: They actually believe that countries intend to follow through with their pledges.
Tomorrow weโll wrap up by looking at the key metrics as defined by the United Nations.
Next week, weโll conclude with 10 recommendations on how to fix COP.
