He sounds nice. I can sense another consensus coming up #COP29#ExtinctionProfiteers#LateStageHumanity

President Ilham Aliyev used a Berlin climate speech to push for major foreign investments to boost its natural gas exports to Europe.
NSW ALP/LNP extinction coalition quick to put in anti-protest laws serving the fossil fuel industry, not so quick to protect koalas. Koalas need to up their lobbying and donation game
