COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.
Hey @Rae_Matt, were we in the same meeting this morning? MPP Sandy Shaw may have been late but she was certainly there - and unlike your @OntarioPCParty MPPs, she listens to all Ontarians, not just the Ford Insider Nation of developers!

Thank you @MikeSchreiner for joining us last night! Knowing you were in our corner on the Greenbelt fight made all the difference.
Not only is the Greenbelt battle not over, the fight will continue for climate change, housing affordability, health care and against corruption.
When a private clinic and a public hospital perform the same surgery, why does one costs the taxpayer so much more?
@SylviaJonesMPP is helping shareholders profit on the public dime while worsening the staffing crisis.
Sound familiar?
