While most people will quite rightly leap to the “Daddy” ick in this screenshot, I can’t help but note the persistent American delusion that the rest of the world has ever viewed the US as anything more than “better the devil you know”.
MAGA is such a stupid, damaged cult.

It is a missed opportunity to shine a spotlight on a major fossil fuel producer.
And it will see the Pacific region - some of the most vulnerable countries to climate impacts - yet again sidelined.
