COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.
Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

That there can even be a debate about the Nazis is horrifying. It's like having a debate about child-murdering...which the Nazis were, amongst other things. 1.5 million children were murdered in the Holocaust.
"Social media is making the current surge of antisemitic messaging more difficult to confront as outlandish statements and conspiracy theories flourish online. People who question the Holocaust and offer revisionist histories of World War II have found platforms on popular podcasts."
