“four oil and gas exporting countries — the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Russia and Kuwait — rejected formally welcoming the report”
This part is just enraging. I mean, for USA, who won’t even participate in the paris agreement, to show up at the meeting at all, just to sabotage and try to derail the entire process.
It’s bad enough to not want to participate, but actively throw wrenches at the people who do is just evil.
- yostrovs 8y agoWe thought the Paris Accord was already signed and everybody was happy with each other except the US. But at least it was signed. Now we learn that there's the implementation agreement on how to make the previous agreement work. My question: when's the next meeting?

- yostrovs 8y agoThank you for the link. Here's the purpose of this, yet another, meeting: "To support efforts to implement the Paris Agreement and to increase ambition and climate action, UN Secretary-General António Guterres will bring world leaders, from government, finance, business, and civil society to the Climate Summit on 23 September 2019. He has asked these leaders to bring bold announcements and actions to the Summit that will reduce emissions, strengthen climate resilience, and mobilize political will for an ambitious and meaningful agreement in Paris in December 2015." Looks like success is guaranteed at this one. Nothing could possibly spoil the party. I'm sure organic, responsibly harvested vodka will be served.
