The conference, known as COP29, begins on Monday in Azerbaijan and is one of the most important multilateral talks to include the Taliban, who do not have outside recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan.

    Does the damn Taliban give more of a shit about climate change than Republicans!? This is absolutely the shittiest timeline.

      Well yeah. It’s already 125F degrees where they are. They damn sure don’t want it to be 126F.

      At least both parties share a lot in common otherwise. It’s almost like two nearly identical people hating each other.

        They’re competing for the bottom of literacy rates and treatment of women, it’s neck and neck.

      At least it’s interesting. They may have been a human right violator but letting them into modern world discussion about modern world issue might put them in different perspective, you never know, given that the climate change hit poorer country harder than richer one. Compared to Republican, which they know the issue but chose to ignore it for profit, Taliban might actually didn’t know or didn’t care about it before as they’re busy having insurgency. Also it’s good to know what they’re up to in terms of environmental issue.

      I see them as a poorer, war torn Saudi Arabia, and Saudi is attending a lot of global event.
