The Clowns of Clowntown…. Oil and gas is a 'gift from God', Azerbaijan tells Keir Starmer and the Taliban as thinly attended COP29 climate summit descends into farce... while PM commits to 81% cut in emissions The PM confirmed the eye-watering target of slashing 81 per cent off emissions by 2035, compared to 1990 levels. He used a press conference at the Baku summit - snubbed by many world leaders but attended by the Taliban - to deny he will need to tell Brits 'how to live' in order to meet the ambitious goal. In his opening address, Mr Aliyev hit out at 'unfortunately double standards, a habit to lecture other countries and political hypocrisy' from the West. Arguing that natural resources were a 'gift from God' just like other natural resources, he said: 'Countries should not be blamed for having them and should not be blamed for bringing these resources to the market because the market needs them.' Sir Keir is one of the only premiers from the wealthiest nations in Azerbaijan for the annual gathering, although the Taliban has sent a representative. Edited on 12/11/2024 at 21:48:41.
