COPOUT

Thirty years of UN climate negotiations to reduce carbon emissions have failed to deliver_x000D_a survivable outcome - most recently and emphatically at COP28 in Dubai. Why? An insider's view of the UN COPs from Paris to Dubai to find out what on Earth is going on. Why does a process which was meant to be 'saving the world' continue to achieve almost the exact opposite? Global heating and climate breakdown is the key existential issue of the day. Nick Breeze sheds light on the situation through the engaging all too human story of successive COP conferences over the past decade. It is a tale of imperfection failure even; but not yet defeat. It is not Extinction Rebellion Just Stop Oil nor any other climate protesters who are the 'crazy' extremists; the true extremists are the policymakers who consistently undermine faltering efforts to reduce emissions. There is a terrifying gap between scientific reality and political action. Repeatedly claiming to be saving us whilst allowing carbon emissions to continue rising governments have failed their people on climate. Nick's page-turning account shows us how why and what we can do about it.
