Deal Still Elusive

As COP26 enters its final day, a Deal is Still Elusive. Of course, a deal will be reached, but it will be as meaningless as the preceding 25.

Negotiators said a big gap remained between developed and developing countries over climate financing. Rich countries have committed to funneling money to poorer countries to help them move toward lower-emissions energy sources and protect themselves from the worst effects of climate change. Negotiators said gaps over the amount are still wide.

New Goal Put Off Until 2024

A draft text on climate finance circulated Thursday included a goal to channel $1.3 trillion annually, but a new draft released Friday deleted that language because of opposition, negotiators said, from the U.S., the European Union and other wealthy nations. Governments have agreed to hold a series of meetings to decide on a new goal in 2024, the new text says.

A well-known saying covers this.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today put off for many years. 

Math Problem

Meanwhile, we have a math problem. Math is racist. Oh wait, I mean in addition to math being racist.
