Next year's climate conference will be hosted (and run) by the UAE.

The UAE is a repressive regime that recognizes human rights only when that pleases the emirs, so protest will be crushed and most activists kept out, as happened this year in Egypt.

In addition, the UAE is a big oil exporter, which means that next year's event will be even more corrupted by global heating denialists than this year's.

The UAE spends lots of money to manipulate the US government and policies.

If any powerful countries really want to make progress in defending the climate, they should denounce the UN climate conferences as corrupt betrayals, refuse to attend, and organize a new kind of event. But maybe they are corrupted enough to be content with this corruption.
