I just really want to point out that there's some very dark humor in the UAE's unsubtle attempts to use COP28 as a PR campaign. Not that almost every other COP wasn't a complete waste of time, but the ridiculousness truly elevates this to the level of comedy.

I don't even know if they're being sarcastic or if they're just that craven.

It‘s just a deflection again, basically spreading the blame onto everyone and anyone, which makes a lot of people defensive and double down or act as useful pawns for conservatives, who want to stall any action on climate change that could hurt their pockets.
