COP29 climate talks officially end today. But as history repeats itself (as with all successive COP summits) very little progress is expected. The empty promises and hollow rhetoric are quite the norm. To think otherwise is simply being wishful.

Nonetheless, I understand many will hold a different view whatever the outcome. Already, some have begun touting the deal on trading carbon credits as a major win from the summit. I disagree.
