Meanwhile, in Baku, both France & Argentina have withdrawn their negotiators after remarks by the COP chair.... and already the meeting is fragmenting & riven with conflicts(s).

This now look like a process that offers little meaningful to the response to the climate crisis - once the petro-states & fossil-fuel firms had got control of the process, it was always going to end up like this.

A new (effective) multilateral forum is required if global climate politics is to do any good....
