Frustration grows over fossil fuel influence at U.N. climate talks
Story by Seth Borenstein and Sibi Arasu • 20h


The United Nations' climate negotiations process itself has became the focus of the international talks that aim to curb warming from coal, oil and natural gas.

Environmental advocates released reports Friday decrying fossil fuel industry influence at the climate talks called COP29, which are being held in the petrostate Azerbaijan.
 
At the same time, a letter signed by a former U.N. secretary-general and ex-top climate negotiators called for dramatic reform. And the conference's chief negotiator said current talks — aimed at striking a deal worth hundreds of billions of dollars to help finance a transition to clean energy and adapting to climate change — were going too slowly.

All that put the focus on process — not results.

“We consider COP29 as a litmus test for the global climate architecture," conference lead negotiator Yalchin Rafiyev said at a Friday news conference.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They're frustrated because their lies, distortions of the truth, and innuendoes are catching up with them.
