COP29, 2024, Is running out of time and money.
The first week of the COP29 summit in Baku ended with frustration because of a lack of progress on the key issue of financing the energy transition and climate adaptation in developing countries.
The latest data on increased emissions of Methane gas, which among other, are coming from 150 developing countries, which at previous COP meetings received a big contribution in economic aid for reducing their emissions of methane. Wasted money?
Private jets to Baku soared before start of COP29
Private jets aren’t the best look for attendees of a conference designed to curb climate change, but once again they’ve proved a popular mode of travel to COP29.
According to data from plane tracking website FlightRadar24, 65 private jets landed in Baku in the week to Monday. Of those, 45 arrived on Sunday and Monday as the summit began.
That’s twice as many jets compared with the same week last year, when 32 private jets touched down at Baku international airport. All others fly on scheduled flights in business class or above, still there is a large amount of emissions, with around 40,000 travelers. The next COP should be held online!
As far as I know, the Earth’s cycle of change is not on the program.
There is constant talk about climate change, which is blamed on industrial emissions and other pollution. There are no talks about how big the emissions from active volcanoes are per year. Nor the magnetic storms that the sun’s 11-year cycle creates in the outermost atmosphere less than 90,000 meters from the surface, which also affect the earth’s magnetic currents. (see info on NASA homepage). Changes in ocean currents as a result, that cause strong weather changes around the entire globe.
Are people too afraid to discuss these problems openly, or is it because it is not possible to arrange economic measures? Politicians do not want to discuss topics that they cannot decide on. Therefore, it is best to keep such information quiet.
There are still a few days left of the COP29 meeting and I will return with follow-ups, shortly.

Environmental disasters are not always to be blamed on the climate.
