Kuala Lampur, March 23 -- There is no denying the influence of politics on the global climate actions. Already we saw how politics delay the phasing out of fossil fuels, the number one contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. At COP 28, delegates only managed to squeeze through the wordings to "transition away from fossil fuels". Delegates could not agree on "phasing out". In Baku at COP29, they added the statement "a just transition". Many see all these as delay tactics.

In the meantime, distractions are created in the form of putting the blame on agriculture, especially methane emission from livestock farming. Even, palm oil has not been spared from such blame, citing deforestation. Wonder what narratives will emerge at COP30 in Brazil...
