Progressive Views: COP 28 Climate Conference Yields Progress
COP 28 was held in Dubai and was chaired by the head of a national oil company. In addition to transition away from fossil fuels language, progress was made in a number of areas, including reduction of methane emissions (which account for about 30% of the Earth’s warming), increasing renewable energy, accelerating a switch to electric vehicles, and promoting carbon capture. Nuclear fusion is in the news and may be a silver bullet longer term. Of course conservation could help a bunch.

It’s another blatant attack on the power of cities and counties to govern their own residents.
