Dubai isn’t necessarily a bad place per se. Like… “do you like it here outside w/o air conditioning? That’s your average winter in the Antarctic in a few years, if you don’t act.”
Problem is, it’s not done this way…
Not necessarily a bad place, but definitely one with a huge oil industry

Yea maybe they could have the climate summit in their fucking outdoor air conditioning soccer field…. There should be plenty of room there, in the whole fucking outdoor air conditioned stadium.
One thing I can say I’m half certain I read that Biden wasn’t going.
He may have had early intel about the summit pres being involved in the drama,
I burn on Biden a lot.
But I’m glad he didn’t go to this one.
Dubai is a great place actually
