The sentence “Let’s eat, Grandma” and “Let’s eat Grandma” have very different meanings. If you pay attention to COP28, you will catch a similar spin. Rather than calling for the phase-out of fossil fuels, which all respected climate studies and climate…

Blue ammonia, the corrupt climate technology. — In the back rooms and on the main stages at COP28, there is plenty of discourse around alternative, eco-friendly energy.
