COP-26: Can The World Really Do Without Fossil Fuel? by ikorodureporta: 5:07am On Nov 01, 2021 |
According to wikipedia... The United Nations Climate Change Conferences are yearly conferences held in the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They serve as the formal meeting of the UNFCCC parties (Conference of the Parties, COP) to assess progress in dealing with climate change, and beginning in the mid-1990s, to negotiate the Kyoto Protocol to establish legally binding obligations for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Starting in 2005 the conferences have also served as the "Conference of the Parties Serving as the Meeting of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol" (CMP); also parties to the convention that are not parties to the protocol can participate in protocol-related meetings as observers. From 2011 the meetings have also been used to negotiate the Paris Agreement as part of the Durban platform activities until its conclusion in 2015, which created a general path towards climate action. The first UN Climate Change Conference was held in 1995 in Berlin. 1995: COP 1, Berlin, Germany 1996: COP 2, Geneva, Switzerland 1997: COP 3, Kyoto, Japan 1998: COP 4, Buenos Aires, Argentina 1999: COP 5, Bonn, Germany 2000: COP 6, The Hague, Netherlands 2001: COP 6, Bonn, Germany 2001: COP 7, Marrakech, Morocco 2002: COP 8, New Delhi, India 2003: COP 9, Milan, Italy 2004: COP 10, Buenos Aires, Argentina 2005: COP 11/CMP 1, Montreal, Canada 2006: COP 12/CMP 2, Nairobi, Kenya 2007: COP 13/CMP 3, Bali, Indonesia 2008: COP 14/CMP 4, Poznań, Poland 2009: COP 15/CMP 5, Copenhagen, Denmark 2010: COP 16/CMP 6, Cancún, Mexico 2011: COP 17/CMP 7, Durban, South Africa 2012: COP 18/CMP 8, Doha, Qatar 2013: COP 19/CMP 9, Warsaw, Poland 2014: COP 20/CMP 10, Lima, Peru 2015: COP 21/CMP 11, Paris, France 2016: COP 22/CMP 12/CMA 1, Marrakech, Morocco 2017: COP 23/CMP 13/CMA 1-2, Bonn, Germany 2018: COP 24/CMP 14/CMA 1-3, Katowice, Poland 2019: SB50, Bonn, Germany 2019: COP 25/CMP 15/CMA 2, Madrid, Spain 2021: COP 26/CMP 16/CMA 3, Glasgow, Scotland 2022: COP 27, Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt |

Each time I see activists especially in developing nations, campaigning against the use of fossil fuel, I wonder what they are up to.. A country like Nigeria should focus on eliminating gas flaring & oil spillage..etc See the post President Buhari shared before leaving for Glasgow: https://www.newsweek.com/climate-crisis-will-not-fixed-causing-energy-crisis-africa-opinion-1644227 ...& See what association of petroleum explorationists said... https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/10/26/oil-gas-to-remain-fuel-of-choice-till-2070-insist-explorationists/ |

The answer is NO. Other means of generating power are expensive compared to fossil fuels Even with the cheap fossil fuel, country like Nigeria are still in darkness |
