COP 31 is currently taking place in Turkiye. It is an indictment on the United States of America, one of the biggest polluters in the world, that it has not sent any delegation to the summit. If any other COPS are indicative, there will however be several hundred fossil fuel lobbyists representing United States fossil fuel interests attending COP 31. That will be the USA contribution this year. The United States is not alone in snubbing COP 31. But it knows better. Sure, it might change its posture in the future. It probably will. But right now it is a complete and utter pariah state.
