This Davos?
Remember, they were just there at the beginning of December 2025
At Davos, Phasing Out Fossil Fuels Is No Longer Debatable
As leaders gather at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, they do so at a moment of real consequence for humanity’s shared future. The choices made now about energy, finance, and cooperation will shape not only climate outcomes, but economic resilience and global stability for decades to come.
The evidence is no longer in dispute. Continued expansion of coal, oil, and gas is incompatible with planetary stability and long-term prosperity. Fossil fuels remain the primary driver of global warming and ecosystem degradation, creating material risks to food systems, public health, infrastructure, and national economies.
Yet despite these realities, the fossil fuel economy continues to exert outsized political and financial influence. This was evident at COP30 in Belém, where negotiations once again failed to deliver a clear, binding commitment to phase out fossil fuels, and where one in every 25 attendees represented fossil fuel interests. The gap between what science demands and what politics delivers remains dangerously wide.
Still, leadership is emerging. The Belém Declaration on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels signaled a shift toward coalitions of countries choosing action over paralysis, guided by science and informed by Indigenous knowledge. Initiatives led by Colombia and The Netherlands to advance a Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Conference show how progress can be accelerated without abandoning the annual United Nations climate summits. Strengthening global cooperation remains essential, even as new coalitions accelerate action where progress has stalled.
No mention yet of all the people who flew fossil fueled jets, especially private ones, to Davos and COP30
For business and finance leaders, the message should be unmistakable. The question is no longer whether the fossil fuel era will end, but how. Who will lead, and who will be left behind? A just and orderly phase-out that does not unfairly burden nations least responsible for the crisis is not only a moral imperative; it is a strategic economic opportunity.
Treating fossil fuels as instruments of short-term geopolitical leverage may appear decisive, but it entrenches fragility, delays diversification, and misreads the future of energy security.
A whole-planet approach is essential. That means phasing out planet-harmful fossil fuel subsidies, redirecting finance toward renewable energy and storage, and investing in living forests through platforms such as the Tropical Forest Forever Facility. Addressing climate change, food systems, health, and economic stability in silos is no longer viable.
Nope, no mention of climahypocrisy. Just doomsday cult Authoritarianism.
Utter bullshit
“The evidence is no longer in dispute. Continued expansion of coal, oil, and gas is incompatible with planetary stability and long-term prosperity.”
Switzerland already gets 98% of its electricity from renewables.
Aircraft? That will probably be the last mode of transport to change over to electric
Our own Mad King Donald of Orange will set them straight!
Neither King Donald, William nor CumBum’s tweeter Army can refute that the Earth is warming a result of our burning coal, oil and gas. Today, they don’t even try.
They just deny.
And J can’t verify that it is, as usual
Jill continues to just deny.
But she can relax, since Mr trump says “nyet”!!
well, they want to act like kings of old. it other words, why have all of this neat stuff if everyone else can have it too. they want to return to lords and serfs. where we serfs have to beg for anything they have. what the point in being rich and powerful if you can have stuff like them ?
as I see it, it comes down to greed. they want everything for themselves and nothing for anyone not them.
Krazy King Donald of Orange continues to embarrass the United States of America – this time in Davos.
How odd that we don’t feel any embarrassment, but mostly pride.
“We saved Greenland! We used to have it! We were stupid to give it back!”
He backed off on using force to get Greenland.
“Canada survives because of us!!”
He mocked Macron’s accent.
He mocked Britain, France, Switzerland.
Perhaps trump’s objective was to unite Europe against the United States. Success!!
World, please understand the King Donald of Orange does not speak for the majority of Americans.
Mr Dana must not have listened to the Davos speech. Big lie after Big Lie, whine after whine, insult after insult…
