I would argue that the issue is the model of endless growth of capitalism because this is what drives energy consumption.

Relevant article that talks about Cop29 in relation to previous ones: What should we expect at COP29?

Last year at COP28 in Dubai, countries agreed to “transition away” from fossil fuels for the first time ever.

But the ‘UAE Consensus’ was less a consensus and more of a watered-down pledge, leaving many advocates disappointed as no promises were made to fully phase out oil, gas and coal.

This outcome was likely shaped by the presence of thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists at the event, which was itself hosted by a petrostate and led by the CEO of a state-owned oil company who openly dismissed the need for a fossil fuel phaseout.

This is why we won't ever fix it.

I think I see what you mean, I must admit I don't really agree with this statement.

I think we (meaning people) can actually fix this by applying pressure to governments to implement the necessary measures/taxes/etc to the polluting corporations all over the world. This pressure can have many forms - protest, boycott, etc. Also, it should be intersectional since climate justice without social justice doesn't really mean anything - it's just an empty vessel with greenwashing tendencies. At least the way I see things.

Unfortunately, these are just articles that claim stuff, they do not include any actual and/or current researches. This is why they use terms like "trusted source", or urge the reader to worry about something, instead of providing evidence and let the reader decide how to feel about these findings.

Also, they come from the mouthpieces that Zionist propaganda uses. Remember the debunked beheaded babies claims, or the weaponization of sexual violence claims, or the human shield claims - to name just a few that were covered by these media.

Still, thank you for taking the time.

Since this article is based on the phone bank of the Democratic party, I'd be really interested in learning what are the criteria used to populate it, in relation to demographics. Or maybe it's random calls in an area?

If anyone has specifics, could you please share?

Could you please share a link supporting your claim that doesn't come from a zionist propaganda machine?

It could be true that she broke the law.

Breaking the law on this topic is not hard in France, since unfortunately it is part of the (post)colonial countries that equate anti-zionism with antisemitism.

So criticizing the settler colonial state of Israel can mean you break the law, without taking into consideration that Zionism is a political movement that has been criticized by Jews since its inception. Jewish voice for Peace have a great article about it: Our Approach to Zionism. And they are not the only ones.

Or supporting that Palestinians have human rights like any other person on this planet - like to be against Israel's apartheid for example - is considered terrorism, more often than not.

Please, let's not be so quick to defend France or any colonial country

Edit: A relavant article. It's in relation to the Lellouche law, from Haaretz - BDS a Hate Crime? In France, Legal Vigilance Punishes anti-Israel Activists

I would like to add that boycott can be very effective in applying pressure. So much so that the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement

BDS is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity

is illegal in several places. Most of states in the US, Canada, France, Germany, UK are some of them - the traditional colonialists.

Ban Apartheid Israel from Sports

Palestinian players and athletes are routinely attacked, imprisoned and killed. Athletes are denied freedom of movement to attend their own matches, competitions and trainings. Palestinian stadiums and sports infrastructures have been bombed and destroyed. Israel even prevents sports equipment from being imported and sports facilities from being developed.

Racism against Palestinians is institutionalized in Israeli sports – from segregated youth football leagues to anti-Palestinian hate from fan clubs that goes routinely unpunished.

In addition, Israeli football and basketball clubs based in illegal settlements are allowed to compete in official Israeli leagues, making international governing bodies FIFA and FIBA complicit in Israel’s violations of international law.

Despite all this, Western dominated sports bodies have looked the other way, refusing to take action. More than 300 Palestinian sports clubs and dozens of civil society organizations are calling to #BanIsrael from the Olympics. Join us as we seek to ban Israel from international sports forums, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and FIFA, until it ends its grave crimes against Palestinians and its attacks on Palestinian sports.

This NYT article unfortunately fails to mention the thousands of oil lobbyists attending COP29.

COP29: What you need to know about the global climate summit - Amnesty International:

Like previous climate summits, COP29 will host many participants whose agendas are seriously at odds with climate justice. Thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists, along with the heads of oil giants like Shell and BP, are expected to be in attendance. These participants have used previous summits to advance their own interests, opposing essential efforts to phase out fossil fuels and pushing for false solutions like carbon offsetting. Amnesty International is calling for a robust conflict of interest policy to prevent fossil fuel lobbyists undermining the aims of global climate treaties.

Canada's mining tradition is closely related to colonialism.

Check out the Canadian encyclopedia, Mining :

Pre-contact Aboriginal use and trade of Canada’s rich mineral resources included copper, gold, silver and chert. European exploration and colonization of northern North America was partially motivated by the search for valuable minerals. In 1577–8, Martin Frobisher established a mining operation at Baffin Island (...)

Edit: Just found a super long list of Canadian Mining Assets (CMAs), from all over the world excluding Canada, by Country and Region. This list is from 2021 and 2022 by the Canadian government. They're everywhere like, scary stuff.

I suppose a more accurate title would be:

"IDF unsuccessfully tries to distance itself from ‘no return’ remarks about north Gaza evacuees"
