The UN-sponsored COP28 has broken up, and hundreds of private jets are wending their way back to civilization from Dubai.
Some said the conference was a disaster; Al Gore, for example: But a new draft agreement surfaced at the last possible moment, and some, at least, hailed it as the dawn of a new green day: "Cop28: second draft text of climate deal calls for 'transitioning away' from fossil fuels." You can easily find more examples of green triumphalism in the press.
What does the alleged agreement actually say? The agreement is here.
The COP28 agreement talks about phasing out fossil fuels, the greatest benefactor of humanity in the last 500 years.
Fossil fuel consumption hit an all-time high in 2022.
The world is never going to switch from reliable, affordable energy to unreliable, grotesquely expensive energy.
So the pronouncements of COP28 and the like are headed for history's dustbin.
