The two photos were taken at the same time yesterday, the first of a girl from Gaza whose facial features were not visible from the flood of blood. The second of world leaders gathered in Dubai for the climate, including the head of the army who bombed this child, along with the rest of the leaders who blessed and supported his action.
الصورتان التقطتا في نفس الوقت البارحة
الأولى لطفلة من غزة لا تظهر معالم وجهها من فيض الدماء
الثانية لزعماء العالم المجتمعين في دبي من أجل المناخ وبينهم رئيس الجيش الذي قصف هذه الطفلة ومعه بقية الزعماء الذين باركوا فعله هذا ودعموه

“Jeder Artikel über die Weltklimakonferenz klingt wie "das ambitionierte Ziel bis 2032 einen Plan zu fassen, wie man eventuell aufhören könnte Welpen zu würgen, wurde von Interessenverband der Welpenwürgindustrie, der aus irgendwelchen Gründen mitreden darf, leider abgelehnt" (@elhotzo)
“Every article about the World Climate Conference sounds like “the ambitious goal of coming up with a plan by 2032 to possibly stop choking puppies has unfortunately been rejected by the puppy choking industry advocacy group, which for some reason is allowed to have a say” (@elhotzo) [google translated]

UAE president to establish $30bn fund to bridge climate finance gap
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, which is hosting the COP28 climate summit, announced the establishment of a $30 billion fund for global climate solutions on Friday.
The fund, dubbed ALTÉRRA, will allocate $25 billion for climate strategies and $5 billion to attract $250 billion in investments by the end of the decade, according to the COP28 chairman’s statement.
In a statement, ALTÉRRA, in collaboration with global asset managers BlackRock, Brookfield and TPG, announced that it has committed $6.5 billion in climate change funds for global investments, including the Global South.
The programme “aims to steer private markets towards climate investment and focus on transforming emerging markets and developing economies, where traditional investment has been lacking due to the higher perceived risks across those geographies.”

World leaders have gathered in Dubai this weekend to discuss what can be done about the climate.
The UK prime minister was there. You’ll need binoculars to spot him - back row, second left.
The PM, foreign secretary and King Charles all travelled to Dubai by private jet. Three of them, one jet each! Doing their bit to help save on emissions.
Sunak (UK prime minister) spent more time in the air than he did at the conference!

The nice folks at The Juice Media rake the Australian government over the coals regularly. This one is particularly good, as they eviscerate Oz's leadership for its attempts to slap lipstick on the pig that is its shit climate record by hosting the COP31 climate summit in partnership with the Pacific islands.
These videos—highly recommended by your sobsister—are like The Daily Show with Wolverine's claws and a beauty pageant smile.

There are over 600 fossil fuel lobbyists at Cop 27 Climate Summit, that’s more than the combined delegations from the world’s 10 most climate-impacted countries. Dirty fossil fuel money & influence should be nowhere near this climate conference - new fossil fuels must stay firmly in the ground - Caroline Lucas, Green MP.

The Summit of Sarcasm...
It is wholly inappropriate for Adnoc staff to be doing PR for Cop28,” said Pascoe Sabido, a researcher from Corporate Observatory Europe who co-coordinates the Kick Big Polluters Out coalition. He says the findings clearly demonstrate the close links between the oil company and the summit team.
Earlier this year, CCR and the Guardian revealed that several members of Adnoc staff had taken up important roles at the summit, including as climate negotiators. Some had even been seconded from ongoing roles with the oil company.
In June, the Guardian reported that Adnoc and Cop28 shared an IT system and that Adnoc staff were able to read emails sent to and from the Cop28 team.

EU to discuss trade and climate issues with China at summit on Thursday
EU representatives will discuss a range of issues with Chinese leaders from the war in Ukraine to trade co-operation at a summit on Thursday, Reuters reports.
European Council President Charles Michel, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in the morning and Premier Li Qiang of the Chinese State Council in the afternoon as part of their one-day visit to China.
EU officials do not expect concrete results from the first face-to-face EU-China summit since 2019. One EU official said:
There’s not a single outstanding deliverable that will be crowning the summit.
In contrast to that summit, Xi’s November meeting with US President Joe Biden in California resulted in agreements, although differences remain between them, especially on Taiwan.
