Summary

Over 1,700 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to the UN climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan, outnumbering delegations from almost every country.

The presence of these lobbyists raises concerns about their influence on the negotiations, which aim to address the climate crisis caused by fossil fuels.

Despite calls for a ban on polluting industry representatives, fossil fuel lobbyists continue to attend climate talks, with some even participating in panels about industry solutions.

I truly believe that man was a prophet.

It feels like the course of history/the future has been artificially altered.

I do not like it. No sir.

Well you shouldn't, because he was a nut. Nuts get things right with their predictions sometimes, but he was still a nut.

He thought he was in communication with an alien intelligence.
