Folks, please help me persuade @70sbachchan.bsky.social to post here more, rather than the other place. His rad threads would work here, I reckon.

The deadline for climate finance is real and china has aligned with African nations so it's not as bad as the headlines. They have to raise the floor for 100bn at a minimum.

COP29 host Azerbaijan brands oil and gas ‘gift from God’ President Aliyev accuses West of hypocrisy for criticising country’s fossil-fuel dependence while buying its oil & gas.
