And ever since, the Saudis and others have used it to obfuscate on issues large and small. Just days ago, they teamed with other conservative autocracies&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/petro-patriarchy-pope-saudis-vatican-womens-rights-backlash-cop29-gender-equality-climate-change\/\">to block talks<\/a>&nbsp;about gender inequality and climate change.&nbsp;That played out at COP29 as large emerging economies derailed attempts to seriously discuss cutting greenhouse emissions, insisting that rich countries first pony up the money to do so. Impotence and frustration with the Saudi delegation boiled over into&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/cop-29-poor-countries-climate-deal-300-billion-climate-change-baku-meeting\/\">shouting<\/a>&nbsp;in the final 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fairness, consensus does add weight to every COP decision.

Donald H. Pearlman, age 69, formerly of Portland, Oregon died August 13 ,2005, at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC from complications arising out of lung cancer. Mr. Pearlman had a distinguished career in public service as the Executive Assistant to the Secretary of Energy and then of the Department of the Interior for over six years during the Reagan Administration. In this position he was responsible for the close oversight of significant and wide-ranging policy initiatives of those departments. When President Reagan left office in 1989, Mr. Pearlman became a partner in the Washington, DC, law firm of Patton, Boggs, where he established himself as a top expert in global climate change matters. He participated in numerous international conferences on that and related subjects. Prior to joining the Reagan Administration, Mr. Pearlman, a member of the Oregon State Bar, had served as a senior partner in the firm of Keane, Harper, Pearlman and Copeland in Portland. He joined the firm after clerking for a federal judge in Nevada, following his graduation from Yale Law School, New Haven, Connecticut. Mr. Pearlman graduated from Grant High School, in Portland, and then attended Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating cum laude in economics. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, the former Shirley Block, his son, Bradley, of Seattle, his daughter, Stephanie Mennitt of Bristow, VA, 6 grandchildren and his brother, Gary, of Portland. The service will be held in Portland at 1 PM on Wednesday, August 17, at Ahavai Shalom Cemetery. Remembrances may be made to the American Cancer Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To plant trees in memory, please visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sympathy.legacy.com\/en-us\/funeral-flowers\/productdetails\/?type=obituary&amp;p=14858740&amp;pn=donald-pearlman&amp;affiliateId=1332&amp;sku=tre-tim&amp;pm=240\">Sympathy Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Published by The Oregonian on Aug. 17, 2005.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who could have imagined?
