COPs are run by consensus and that means any country can halt progress. Often petrostates do.

Al Gore has a plan to change voting roles in the UN treaty that organizes COPs. He needs 75% of countries voting in favor.

Watch how our climate has rapidly changed over the last 144 years.

'Summer' referred to here is the boreal summer and represented by the 3-month average of June, July & August. 2023 comes in hottest by considerable margin.

🔵 = cooler than average
🔴 = warmer than average

The average is calculated from summers between 1951-1980.
