COP29\u2019s agreed \u201ccollective quantified goal\u201d of $300 billion annually is far too low, too vague, and too ambiguous.

Adaptation to what? One wonders. Temperatures that have risen modestly since the Little Ice Age ended and Industrial Era began? Sea levels that have risen slowly and slightly since their 400-foot upsurge after the Pleistocene glaciers began melting? Hurricanes and tornadoes that are&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;increasing in frequency or intensity? Carbon dioxide levels that are helping forests, grasslands, and crops grow faster, better, and with less water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Never mind all that, the Germans suggest. More money is needed for adaptation, and still more for a \u201cjust\u201d energy transition and \u201ccivil society\u201d demands for \u201csocial dialogue, human rights, the inclusion of [now unpaid family member] care and informal work,\u201d and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* \u201cClimate injustice\u201d also requires that \u201cthe biggest historical emitters must be the first to get their domestic emissions down to zero\u201d \u2013 and must not do so by buying Net-Zero Banking Alliance overseas (for often imaginary or promissory CO2 reductions). Thus, more deindustrialization and de-growth.
