“Von der Leyen’s Cop29 absence sends ‘fatal signal’, say watchersMEPs express concern for EU climate leadership as commission head confirms she will miss Baku summit
Wed 6 Nov 2024
Ursula von der Leyen’s decision to miss the Cop29 climate summit is “a fatal signal” and raises questions about Europe’s commitment to the climate crisis, observers have said.
Also skipping the “world leaders’ climate action summit” on Tuesday and Wednesday are France’s Emmanuel Macron and the outgoing US president, Joe Biden. The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, cancelled his participation due to a head injury, Reuters reported. The leaders of China, South Africa, Japan and Australia are expected to miss the talks as well.”

“Raises questions about Europe’s commitment to the climate crisis…”
I take them to mean what they said, “commitment to the climate crisis” not “commitment to resolving the climate crisis”. They meant it just as they wrote it.
Not such a big deal. She’s probably been to Baku before, didn’t like the place and doesn’t want to go there again.
20 years of US occupation gave the CiA enough time to infiltrate and buy key positions in Afghanistan.
Joe:”If you commit to AGW we will leave your country”
Tali:”Only if you give us all your military equipment ”
Joe:”Deal”
PS- quite interessting that the climate lunatics no.1 from Australia are not there.
Australia’s PM, Albo-toss the Upgrader, has more important things to do – like make sure he’s not ousted in an internal coup (he’s loathed throughout the Great Southern Land and here in NZ too).
But never fear, there’ll be HUNDREDS of no-name bureaucrats willing to put up with the ‘hassle’ of flying overseas to a country keen on ‘striking deals’ to, y’know, save the planet for THEIR children’s children’s children. Scum of the Earth.
Of course the Taliban have an interest in a conference which is hell-bent on destroying the West.
