In a partial victory for common sense the elites at the United Nations failed to agree to pass a total phase out of fossil fuels.
Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows that CHEAP energy is critical for the poor in this world, it literally keeps them alive in the winter, prevents heat strokes in the summer, etc. It also powers factories to provide them income to make the consumer goods for the rich people in the world, but the latte class won't admit any of that.

UN Climate Karens Melt Down After COP28 Summit Ditches Fossil Fuel 'Phase-Out' Language
Last week, Sultan al Jaber, the president of the UN's COP28 climate summit, insisted that there is "no science" behind calls to phase-out fossil fuels, before getting in a hilarious eco-fight with three leading women from the conference over climate change and gender.
Responding to the remark, U.N. Environment Program Executive Director Inger Andersen said she lives in Kenya with solar power and clean electricity from the local utility.
The remarks from al Jaber draw criticism from scientists and are in contrast with the view of Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who said at the climate summit on Friday,
Fast forward to Monday, with the Financial Times reporting that a draft agreement from the summit has dropped all references to the phaseout of fossil fuels, following opposition from oil and gas-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia.
The climate Karens, however, want the text to go further by committing to a phase out of fossil fuels - which any honest idiot could tell you would have extreme repercussions in terms of both energy price inflation (which of course hurts the poor the most), and the logistics of shifting developed nations onto unreliable primary energy sources.
"We have made progress, but we still have a lot to do . . . including on fossil fuel language," said a Jaber, adding "We should not allow anything to get between the fact we have all decided to keep our focus on our north star . . . of keeping 1.5[C] in reach."
The 1.5c target was set during the landmark 2015 Paris climate accord, as countries agreed to limit temperature increases to well below 2C and, ideally, 1.5C, as if that's even possible, and even if it were, assumes China and India would give a rat's ass and play ball in this completely academic exercise.
"It is our very survival that is at stake. That is why in every room our negotiators have been pushing tirelessly for decisions that align with staying under 1.5[C] degrees," said Samoa’s minister of natural resources Toeolesulusulu Cedric Schuster, speaking on behalf of a group of small island countries vulnerable to climate change.
Marshall Islands minister of natural resources, John Silk, said the country "did not come here to sign our death warrant," calling for a fossil fuel phaseout.
"We will not go silently to our watery graves. We will not accept an outcome that will lead to the devastation for our country."
Watery Graves!? he told the room full of elites with beachfront homes. . . .
