***Official Political Discussion Thread***

:rofl:


What is COP28 and where is it?​

COP28 is the 28th annual United Nations (UN) climate meeting where governments will discuss how to limit and prepare for future climate change.
The summit is being held in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 30 November until 12 December 2023.

What does COP stand for?​

COP stands for "Conference of the Parties", where the "parties" are the countries that signed up to the original UN climate agreement in 1992.

Why is holding COP28 in Dubai controversial?​

The UAE is one of the world's top 10 oil-producing nations.
It has appointed the chief executive of the state-owned oil company, Sultan al-Jaber, president of the COP28 talks.
Oil - like gas and coal - is a fossil fuel. These are the main causes of climate change because they release planet-warming greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide when burned for energy.
Mr Jaber's oil company plans to expand production capacity.
Documents leaked to the BBC suggest the UAE planned to use its role as host to strike oil and gas deals.
Mr Jaber has previously argued that he is uniquely well-placed to push for action from the oil and gas industry, and that as chairman of renewable energy firm Masdar, he has also overseen the expansion of clean technologies like wind and solar power.

I was kind of thinking hannity was there as an extension of trump, to make Desantis look worse. No one in Ron’s camp could’ve seen this working out well for them.

Yeah, I was thinking newsom was kind of an extension of Biden too.

Idk what Ron thought was going to happen. :lol

I’m sure all the republicans see it as a win for them though somehow someway. :lol

Give this a listen if you're surprised by the GOP's embrace of neo-nazis. This episode covers Maddow's latest book, in which she talks about how an alliance between Hitler's Germany and the US was thwarted just before and at the beginning of WWII.

- More than 80% of Americans supported Nazism at the onset of WWII.
- Henry Ford had publications dedicated to the "Jewish question."
- Hitler had a framed picture of Henry Ford in his office.
