Breakthrough! Deep into their umpteenth sleepless night of hard bargaining, the delegates at the COP28 meeting in Dubai managed to upgrade a verb in their final deal.
nstead of saying nations 'could' take action, the agreement 'calls on' them to take action. Incredible! Cue rapturous applause and a standing ovation as representatives from 197 countries approved the historic 'UAE Consensus' on climate change.
China and India, despite spouting the COP catechism, are between them approving the equivalent of a new coal plant every two or three days.
