This should have been happening 40 years ago, but now is better than never
That sort of happened. The IPCC was founded in 1988 for example. The issue is that it so far has not worked. Going smaller scale to develop some stronger treaties might help though. Especially if it includes some enforcement mechanism and punishments for countries, that do not go along. Like say carbon tairffs for example.
A coalition of the willing. Maybe it will have a more positive effect than the hijacked COP.
tbh this is a bad headline, this meeting group was put together specifically because the cop got hijacked, not because of iran fuel prices
Good point. The idea that you can do useful things without China and the US is a positive as we really can’t wait and who knows what will emerge.
It's funny. I'm watching big tech companies that pushed for AI currently clambering to catch up to open source improvements to that tech. Why would you go with them when there's free, open, better options? They seem to have shit their beds and it keeps getting worse and worse.
And I can't help but watch Trump's obsession with oil rapidly accelerate USA's slow impending doom of keeping all the eggs in their fossil fuel industry and dependency.
is it obsession or source of bribe? he's getting paid by oil tycoons for this push, in my humble opinion
It's both for him. His dementia riddled brain has him convinced that oil is the only thing that works, he's had a vendetta against green energy ever since someone dared to build a wind farm within sight of his Scottish golf course, and he loves bribes.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
