Summary
Amid record global heat and worsening climate disasters, 2024’s elections worldwide have highlighted declining political commitment to addressing the climate crisis.
Right-wing victories, including Trump’s U.S. win and climate-skeptic gains in Europe, have sidelined climate action, prioritizing inflation and energy costs instead.
The troubled Cop29 summit in Azerbaijan, marked by stalled emissions cuts and defiant pro-fossil fuel rhetoric, reflects this shift.
While some countries, like the UK, advanced climate agendas, overall momentum is fading, leaving activists and scientists alarmed as time to prevent catastrophic warming runs out.

We are a population of stupid animals.
“We can’t afford to spend money reducing climate change”
Also:
“There’s more floods, fires and hurricanes. And they’re getting worse. We can’t afford to keep rescuing people and rebuilding.”
Humans, once again, choose extinction because we’re fucking monkeys in pants flinging shit at each other.
Honestly, if the majority of us are really this fuckstupid, maybe it’s genuinely deserved.
