Make no mistake: the only thing about #COP30 that is of any interest to me is the mass protests organized by climate activists.

To expect anything else positive coming from COP30, you need to be one of those very special people who believe that thirtieth time is the charm.

And of course, I completely refuse to recognize it as a climate summit. It's still a fossil fuel industry forum, and the lobbyists are still running the show.

1. #Climatecrisis or a warning from God? Iranians desperate for answers as water dries up"

The worse the climate crisis gets, the likelier it is that people will chose answer no. 2, because at least you can do something about the wrath of god, like, large scale human sacrifices?

"Refugee camps could be uninhabitable by 2050 as extreme weather worsens

At least 117 million people are displaced by conflict and persecution, with the climate crisis worsening their situation. UNHCR warns that extreme weather is forcing more families to flee again, as three in four displaced people now live in high-risk climate zones.

(. . .)

'Whether it is floods sweeping South Sudan and Brazil, record-breaking heat in Kenya and Pakistan, or water shortages in Chad and Ethiopia, extreme weather is pushing already fragile communities to the brink,' the UN agency said.

Over the past decade, weather-related disasters accounted for 250 million internal displacements, the equivalent of around 70,000 every day, or two displacements every three seconds. Returns to Syria and Afghanistan this year have contributed to lower global displacement than in 2024."

“In 2015 our projected deadline for reaching 1.5°C was 27 years away. Now that threshold is only 4 years away – 23 years closer. This striking change suggests that global warming has accelerated quickly in recent years”

Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica retreated 8km in just 2 months—the fastest ever recorded. Grounded ice loss confirmed by seismic data means direct sea level rise. Scientists warn similar collapses could happen elsewhere. 🌍📉 #Antarctica #ClimateCrisis #SeaLevelRise

COP30 going as expected for New Zealand and its ecocidal, climate denialist government coalition. 😑

"The adoption of a 'no additional warming' target, rather than pursuing more ambitious reductions, was "an embarrassing and humiliating capture by industry", he said."

EU conservatives vote with far right to approve cuts to green rules
The outcome highlights the EPP’s willingness to abandon its traditional centrist coalition allies.

Lawmakers in the European Parliament on Thursday agreed to exempt more companies from green reporting rules after the center-right, right-wing and far-right groups allied to pass the EU's first omnibus simplification package.

The outcome illustrates the EPP's willingness to abandon its traditional centrist allies and press ahead with the support of far-right groups to pass its deregulation agenda, setting a precedent for future lawmaking in Parliament for the rest of the mandate.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.
