Oscar Davison @pipelineh8r.bsky.social · 20/11/2025The show-and-dance around #COP31 is, quite frankly, embarrassing. The COPs are supposed to be about collaboration, working together to figure out how we limit global warming to 1.5°. If we can’t agree on a venue, how the hell are we going to agree on a pathway to 1.5° 0102
