An example of misrepresentation. Many developing countries vocally expressed anger & disappointment about COP29 finance outcome, most prominently India, Nigeria & Bolivia. Watch it here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRrb.... It was not "drama" and India was not alone

In line with the theme of 'implementation COP'

Will my pet journalists affirm my climate leadership? Yes

Applies more broadly to fossil fuels and climate leadership in Europe as a whole as well

Good example, thanks!

There was also this finding by the IEA www.iea.org/reports/rene...

I call it old and narrow because, for example, how does one assume no demand-side policies when RE is actually cutting into gas demand?

Yes, I figured economics roots. I am in a back and forth with an economist at the moment. But I find the field quite entrenched in old and narrow assumptions. Is there evidence from elsewhere and more recent evidence that accounts for RE (or even other sources like nuclear) adoption in the world?

In the context of studies showing how gas exports displace renewables in importing countries, the idea is even weaker. Not to mention a cynical view of the world to begin with. Imagine the argument in other contexts: if I don't supply tobacco to children, someone else will just fill the gap
