Soltanov then described natural gas as a "transitional fuel", adding: "We will have a certain amount of oil and natural gas being produced, perhaps forever."

Azerbaijan pledging to limit emissions with one hand while striking fossil fuel deals with the other. Betraying the world to make a quick buck.

Also makes sense that they'd be delusional enough to think their gas money is gonna last forever. What does they think nonrenewable means? This isn't Minecraft where you can just keep digging basically forever.

The BBC has also seen emails between the COP29 team and the fake investors.

In one chain, the team discusses a $600,000 (£462,000) sponsorship deal with a fake company in return for the Socar introduction and involvement in an event about "sustainable oil and gas investing" during COP29.

Also, trying to imply there is any such thing as "sustainable oil and gas" is heinous. It will run out, if this money grubbing doesn't run us out first.

Which is why I don't think it'll happen, because the Hague doesn't even have the enforcement capability to drag him there - nevermind actually punish him for everyhing he's done.

Don't worry - I'm sure in a few years time when our next election comes up, our population will have forgotten about the previous decade of getting fucked by the Tories, and immediately put them, Reform-UK, or some other alt-right party into power for round 2 just like you guys

To borrow @[email protected] words, an economic disaster. The price of basically everything skyrocketed overnight, even basic essentials, which pushed swathes of people below the poverty line, and even today is putting increasing pressure in foodbanks. The effects of the Tories' complete mismanagement of Brexit, the Covid19 pandemic, and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine only served to compound the damage.

This cumulative Brexit damage and mismanagement is what finally got the Tories kicked out (which they should've been years ago if you ask me) - and while the economic effects have slowed down somewhat recently, prices are still going up substantially, and I think we're gonna be feeling it a while longer.

It annoys me to no end that we knew this would happen, economists literally predicted this economic shitshow during the referendum and +50% of our population decided to just put their fingers in the ears and shout racist rhetoric instead.

Man, makes me want to go back and play some Uplink. Shit's fire!

Honestly using Infowars to raise awareness of gun violence in a satirical way with help from Everytown is such a middle finger to Alex Jones and I'm all here for it

Yes. And this story is indirectly related to one of those. Trump's 2nd Term will definitely have knock-on effects to the rest of the world, but it isn't like the rest of the world stops.

It's like back in the Covid Lockdowns - it's not like every other disease took time off because of Covid being in the zeitgeist.

Was about to comment exactly this. "We internally investigated our strategic ally and found no wrongdoing"

For the US, definitely... But the rest of the world doesn't just stop happening because Donald Trump got elected.

Wow that was a very short and to the point article.

Having said that, banks are about the most sleezy organisations around, so of course they'd pledge for net-zero with one hand and loan to BP with the other.

Unfortunately the world often does the fucking around part for you, and you're stuck finding out with them. Sincerely a Remainer being forced to find out on Brexit.
