COP29 is a complete farce, run by a dictatorial, human rights violating petro-state for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry, agri-business & the developed world, & NOT for the sake of the world's poor, or for the sake of climate justice, @GeraldKutney, @breadandcircuses, @DoomsdaysCW, @ExtinctionR, @AufstandLastGen.

@rmblaber1956 @GeraldKutney @breadandcircuses @DoomsdaysCW @ExtinctionR @AufstandLastGen long overdue, and I suspect they need to have their own meeting to hammer out a collective approach that enables empathetic rich nations to help them and cut the toxic umbilical cord to IMF and World Bank which fund them with impossible debt.

@epistatacadam Absolutely! IMF and World Bank loans come with all sorts of strings attached, and cause countries to become indebted and have to sell off their natural resources to pay back those debts. There should be #IMFDebt #LoanForgiveness -- paid for by the interest rich #capitalists make!
