Many have called it COP-out for years simply because of how useless it has been, or worse yet actually is used to tighten the relationship better countries and companies that handle high emissions with the incentive to double down. That and that COP28 was held in the UAE the nation equivalent of a Gas station, this funnily enough doesn't feel like a big loss.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't try these things, but COP has become the poster child of the failure of these kind of events.
