“In three many years, the COP talks have but to provide any settlement to part out, and even part down fossil fuels, the main explanation for local weather change.”

Welcome Esteemed Company,
This yr marks the thirty first anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Framework Conference on Local weather Change. It additionally marks the thirty first anniversary of the discharge of Fern Gully, the best film about deforestation of all time that additionally incorporates a solid of attractive little fairies and one bat performed by Robin Williams. That’s why this yr at COP28, within the oil-rich United Arab Emirates, we’ve determined it’d be extra enjoyable to concentrate on the latter.
Due to this fact, forward of the biggest annual worldwide local weather convention that exists, we’ve shunned asking taking part nations to do something as apparent or sensible as decide to “transitioning away from fossil fuels” or “make Internet Zero targets.” As a substitute, we’ve requested them to point out up with the filthiest, horniest fanfic about an environmentalist allegory that’s ever existed. Critically, we would like this to be completely can’t-look-your-mother-in-the-eyes-again foul.
Listed below are some highlights to stay up for:
We’ll kick off the convention with a roundtable on the Agriculture of the Future. A script submitted by the Argentinian delegation concerning the unbelievable fertile chemistry between main characters Chrysta, Zak, and Christian Slater’s Pip. Don’t suppose an excessive amount of concerning the complexity of internet hosting a local weather convention in an oil state. Assume as an alternative about one thing much more advanced: the searing sexual chemistry that oscillates amongst all three corners of that love triangle overseen by Robin William’s quirky character Batty, who’s, you guessed it, an enormous burly dom. He’s additionally a bat.
Be sure that to take a look at the younger folks’s pavilion on Day 3! Many are calling for us to take heed to youth voices, the voices of the era that can be bearing the brunt of the results of local weather adjustments. However none of these nerds have the deep baritone of Fern Gully’s fundamental antagonist Hexxus, voiced by friggin Tim Curry.
Did we point out Pennywise is on this factor? Discuss a voice that makes toes curl. Let’s shift gears to that. Appears simpler.
Day 7 is about circling again to final yr’s dedication to a Loss and Harm Fund—a plan for rich international locations to offer monetary help to nations most susceptible to and impacted by the results of local weather change. That was an incredible plan that we talked an enormous recreation about persevering with.
However this yr the COP28 Presidency is extra fascinated by zeroing in on a brand new, Zak-related aim: to get bodily and emotionally broken by that teeny weeny smokin’ scorching cartoon logger. Are we going to comprise world warming to beneath 1.5 levels Celsius? No. However to be truthful, that might be not possible with Zak’s huge robust biceps heating up the place. Additionally with all of the oil.
Talking of, Vanuatu, taking a look at you to actually step up right here. Have you ever contributed to sea-levels rising in any means, form, or kind? No. However have you ever contributed to the remainder of us getting moist right here at this convention? Additionally no. That excerpt you despatched over about Cheech and Chong’s characters, the Beetle Boys, kissing was simply bizarre. Do higher.
To wrap this up, we’re wanting ahead to a different nice convention. One through which, we vibe out and depart contemplating how we might be levying sanctions towards high-polluting international locations for an additional time. As a substitute, we’re going to spend 13 heart-pounding days deeply contemplating the truth that Robin Williams rapped on this movie. And that’s superb, as a result of the likelihood that we’ll remedy local weather change in an oil state is about as reasonable as a magical rainforest fairy being named Chrysta.
We’re very a lot wanting ahead to subsequent yr once we invite you all to view our adults-only stage adaptation of The Day Earlier than Tomorrow. We booked Dennis Quaid for this one of us. Hopefully, that’ll distract from the very fact we’re in all probability gonna have it in Riyadh.
Get pleasure from ya little freaks!
Sincerely,
The COP28 Planning Fee
