DO NOT HOLD ANOTHER CLIMATE SUMMIT IN AN OPEC OR ANY OTHER OIL PRODUCING NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world needs hope and direction. Every climate summit must be an example of the world progressing to ZERO EMISSIONS. We don't have until 2050. The date provided by the IPCC was 2030. That is less than seven years away.
In addition to the deaths in Libya, it is joined by the increasing deaths in India from dengue fever. There is also an astounding report in "The New York Times" about the virus (click here).
ABU DHABI - COP28 president Sultan al-Jaber (click here) said on Monday that more than 20 oil and gas companies were rallying around his calls to curb carbon emissions ahead of a United Nations summit on climate change.
Jaber, who is also head of United Arab Emirates oil giant ADNOC, has this year urged the energy industry to join the fight against climate change. He was a controversial pick to lead COP28, which begins next month, because his country is an OPEC member and a major oil exporter.
"We need a system-wide holistic transformation of entire economies - economies that currently run on the equivalent of 250 million barrels of oil, gas, and coal every single day," Jaber said at an oil and gas conference in Abu Dhabi.
"For too long, this industry has been viewed as part of the problem, that it's not doing enough and in some cases even blocking progress. This is your opportunity to show the world that, in fact, you are central to the solution," he said, addressing major energy companies....
Some may remember the encyclical letter by Pope Francis entitled "On Care of Our Common Home (click here)." It is fascinating how American political Republicans pick and choose their moral judgements.

Pope Francis (click here) Condemns Climate Change Indifference, Urges Prompt ActionPope Francis (click here) has made his strongest statement yet on the accelerating climate crisis, pinning blame on big industries and world leaders as well as “irresponsible” Western lifestyles, in a blistering statement on Wednesday.
“Our responses have not been adequate, while the world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point,” the pontiff wrote in a 7,000 word encyclical called Laudate Deum (“Praise God”).
“Some effects of the climate crisis are already irreversible, at least for several hundred years, such as the increase in the global temperature of the oceans, their acidification and the decrease of oxygen,” he wrote.
The pope leveled heavy criticism at climate change deniers and delayers...
