The countries committed to permanently ending fossil fuel use now far outnumber those against. Their problem? Their chief organising conference, the 30-year-old COP conferences, comes with vetoes from the petro-states. This year, 1,600 fossil industry lobbyists attended, and they managed to get any mention of fossil fuels scrubbed from the final agreement.
This ridiculous state of affairs can’t continue, and this is a classic move to break the deadlock. Sideline COP & the petrostates, by creating an alternative, they don’t have power in.
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Luxembourg, Marshall Islands, Mexico, Micronesia, Nepal, Netherlands, Panama, Spain, Slovenia, Vanuatu and Tuvalu.
Good start!!
Gave up on alphabetical order right at the end lol
And of course Sweden isn’t on there. Fucking joke of a government we have right now.
As a Canadian, I’d like to apologies that our cheap imitation of Texas is beholden to its American owners and this precludes our involvement. I’m sick and weary of so much concentrated stupid, and let me add my apology to the list for the embarrassment in our midst.
We’re in a terrible spot right now, but we’re counting on the local aborigines to pass up so.much.payola and block this new greasy pipeline, and it’s 50-50.
fuck, at this point I’m sick and wary of what they might do, not just weary of it

Where’s Germany? The damn Green party better step up!
You’ve listed 24 countries but none of them are the UK which is in the title (as Britain). Something’s off or someone else joined.
I thought it was strange, but it’s what was listed.
Mexico,UK and Australia have extensive fossil fuel resources/production. Though Australia is a global leader in solar policy that has permitted 0 electricity rates for a couple of hours per day. Mexico is extremely vulnerable to US oligarchist pressure, and UK is under direct US rulership. China should be part of the conference because it is the most economically capable of both delivering aid, and alternative energy production.
China burns more coal than anyone else put together.
There one of the minority of nations that are reducing emissions despite massive energy consumption growth
China manufactures more shit for us to consume than everyone else put together too, I’m pretty sure.
They’re not exactly burning a bunch of coal in a vacuum.
They’re a full eighth of our entire species population and a massive manufacturing hub.
No.
Shit.
