How is it this hot this early in the season? ☀️🌎🌡️
All those greenhouse gases are trapping the sun's heat and warming our land, air, and oceans.

"We didn't come here to sign our death sentences and the text in its current state is that.

And we know COP is not yet over. We know that leaders and our negotiators are still in there, holding the line and they're still fighting." — 🗣️@JoSikulu of @350Pacific

The negotiations at #COP28 are long but our message is short.

“The Comedic Carbon Conundrum of #Cop28"
Alright, check it out, here we are at COP28, the global get-together where the world's supposed to wake up and smell the carbon dioxide. Think of it like a massive block party, but instead of grilling and chillin', we're talking about cooling down the whole neighborhood – planet Earth. This is where the big shots roll up, pledge to ditch those dirty old fossil fuels, and get serious about not turning our home into a giant microwave.

It's like this: imagine your house is on fire, and instead of grabbing a hose, everybody's arguing about who left the stove on. That's COP28 for you, a high-stakes gathering where we're supposed to unite and turn off the gas before the whole place goes up in flames. We're talking about a real deal, a chance to shift gears and cruise into a future where we can breathe easy, literally. So let's see if this year's pow-wow is gonna be the game-changer we need, or just another episode of 'Too Little, Too Late.'

So, in a world where common sense often takes the backseat, we find ourselves at the COP28 negotiations, a spectacle so ironic it would make a satirist blush. Picture this: countries whose wallets are bulging with fossil fuel profits are now leading the charge in climate talks. It's like putting candy shop owners in charge of a dental convention – you just know there's going to be more sweet talk than actual solutions.

And then, they have the audacity to say there's no "science" to support breaking our addiction to fossil fuels. That's like saying there's no science behind why midnight snacks lead to tighter pants. The evidence is overwhelming, but apparently, when your bank account is as heavy as a barrel of oil, science suddenly becomes as clear as mud.

Imagine thousands of fossil fuel executives gathering to determine our future. It's like a reunion of dinosaurs planning for the digital age – except these dinosaurs are still making a mess. They're pitching ideas that are as fresh as last week's leftovers, all while the planet's thermostat is hitting levels hotter than a summer BBQ.

This isn't just the fox guarding the henhouse; it's the fox hosting a chicken-wing festival in the henhouse. We've got people who've been fueling the fire, now promising to bring the water. The irony is so thick, you'd need a chainsaw to cut through it.

But hey, who needs a planet when you've got profits, right? Never mind the rising seas, the scorching heatwaves, and the polar bears looking for new real estate. As long as the oil keeps flowing, who cares if the only place we'll be able to live is on a raft?

So yes, having fossil fuel countries lead the climate talks is like having a bunch of comedians run a funeral – it's just inappropriately hilarious. It's high time we flip the script, bring in some fresh minds, and start taking this climate change comedy show seriously. Because, let's face it, if we don't, Mother Nature's got a punchline waiting for us, and spoiler alert: it ain't funny.

📰 It's the "final" day of #COP28, and ECO's message today is to negotiators:

Today you have the chance to make history. Or perhaps tomorrow. Or even the day after.

End oil. End gas. End coal. Our future is renewable energy.

Started the 'last' day of #COP28 with a clear message:

#EndFossilFuels #FullFundedFairForever #ClimateRights4All

Human rights obligations & 1.5C limit = full fossil fuel phase out.

🇪🇺🇺🇲 can't claim they are real about this without REAL commitments for public finance at SCALE.

🚨 BREAKING: The latest iteration of the Global Stocktake (GST) text has been released.

The clock is ticking on the final hours of #COP28 and this is a critical moment in the negotiations.

Thread below sharing our collective reactions and demands from the @CANIntl network:

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

📰 It's day 9 of negotiations, and the ninth edition of ECO at #COP28 is here.

Are we at climate talks, or a fossil fuel trade jamboree? It's time we made some changes to the COP process — and ECO has some ideas.
