ace super jili So once again the annual environmental circus that is a United Nations COP summit drew to a close last night and once again everyone involved blamed everyone else for the fact no-body was really happy with the 13th hour drop-in-the-ocean deal, despite the Azerbaijan host’s desperate efforts. Like the UN, one begins to wonder what the point of this oft-ridiculous political set-piece actually is. COP 29 in Azerbaijan was slated to end on Friday night - but because absolutely nothing had been achieved it ran over into an emergency session which ended with a cobbled-together deal nobody seems to want, in the early hours of this morning. The over-run was triggered by a group of small island states who walked out in disgust at the developed nations’ (read the West’s) inaction. “A bad deal is worse than no-deal” protesters in Baku had been earnestly chanting all week. But with a climate-sceptical Trump presidency just around the corner the small island negotiators knew that was just a slogan on a placard and, after securing headlines with the walkout, returned to the table and took the deal. And the deal was basically the rich nations pay the poor nations $300bn to help mitigate the effects of climate change. But, thanks in no small part to the ducking and weaving of a perennially unhelpful EU, it was proper chuck-a-dart-in-a-dartboard economics. The bidding started at $100bn. Then $250bn was mooted, and - thanks largely to the Azerbaijan hosts climate activists have been monstering all week - a figure of $300bn was eventually agreed. (One advocate even demanded $7 TRILLION, or about a fifth of all the money in the entire world. One wonders about the basic grasp of economics of some of our would-be leaders.) The British Government who, to their credit, seemed to be at the forefront of negotiations supporting Azerbaijan in the final hours, managed to find an extra chunk of small change - some £239m - even though no-one was asking. It will be spent by the UN tackling deforestation. Of course what our pensioners and farmers will make of that I shall leave to you to decide. There is a very confusing clause tacked on to the deal too, to raise a further $1.3tn from the private sector across the planet, though no-one seems to know quite how, except your airline tickets will be going up. Well of course they will. A ridiculously posturing China by the way was pushing for $500Bn to be given to the developing nations. But then she would. China is the planet's second richest economy - within a decade she will be the No1 global superpower and yet at COP (and the blitheringly idiotic UN) China is still classed as a "developing nation" meaning she doesn’t have to contribute a red cent. China is of course also the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Couldn’t make it up. Similar hypocrisy and posturing from our friends in Brussels too of course. EU president Ursula von der Leyen couldn’t actually be bothered attending COP29. Not only did this send out a catastrophic “couldn’t care less” message but behind the scenes European delegates were reported to be jockeying to limit the deal to $200bn .... before of course last night celebrating how wonderful they were after the $300bn deal was pushed through largely against their wishes. It surprised precisely no-one that the 27-nation bloc was awarded a Climate Network COP29 award for “doing the most to achieve the least”. Meanwhile France’s pint-pot Napoleon Emmanuel Macron similarly disgraced himself by effectively boycotting the proceedings. And this had nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with keeping the votes of France’s Armenian diaspora who despise Azerbaijan and President Aliyev. German leader Olaf Scholz didn’t bother and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof didn’t think it worth his time either. A number of EU critics suggested so many Euro nations are now so overwhelmed with debt and are taxing citizens into near penury that they thought it best to stay away from Baku rather than admit they are basically broke. And you can see why the Association of Small Island States (brought to the world’s attention by Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev on day one of the conference incidentally) are less than convinced by the “Global North’s” commitment to tackling climate change. The Maldives are three feet above sea level, the Seychelles, Mauritius and many Caribbean islands not much more. The inhabitants have every right to be very nervous. We will simply lose these islands as a planet unless we pull our collective finger out. Final assessment? Yes COP29 was a fudge, and the politicking would make your flesh crawl, but ultimately a bad deal is better than no deal. For everyone. Even the perpetually apoplectic Greta Thunberg knows this and tweeted as much. So yes, a huge amount of work remains to be done by the COP29 Presidency in the run up to COP30 Rio - especially with the huge elephant in the room that is a Trump presidency. But 196 nations came together and emerged with something. A very imperfect something, but a hell of a lot better than nothing.

Andrew Schulz & Kendrick Lamar Beef, Explained

Article content The Raptors got taught a tough lesson by the title-contending Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday: They aren’t in OKC’s class, not even close, and even if Jakob Poeltl had been able to play, that still would be the case (keep in mind the Thunder was also missing star big man Chet Holmgren). Recommended Videos While no team can enjoy losing by 37 points, it will benefit the players in the long run. As rookie Jonathan Mogbo said post-game, “That was a great team ... We have to learn when we’re ready to catch and shoot, got to shoot it. Teams like that are going to try to force us to shoot, so got to take our time live with the shot, even if it doesn’t go down. Stay consistent and confident.” As head coach Darko Rajakovic put it: “They’re a team that’s built for now. I think there’s a lot from us to look at that team and learn about physicality they play with, how they’re aggressive,” Rajakovic said. “They’re number one in the league in creating turnovers. And that’s very interesting for us, sometimes we turn it over recklessly, and sometimes it’s because of the other defence. I felt tonight it was the other defence that made us turn the ball over. So there’s going to be a lot of good for us to go through this.” Toronto was coming off some nice performances, but a reality check like that will beneficial in helping the team recognize how to improve and that they are a long way from actually competing with good NBA teams. Toronto is just 3-11against teams .500 or better, vs. 4-5 against weaker opponents. It hasn’t helped that Toronto has yet to field its full starting lineup this season and has only had four of the starters (Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Poeltl, RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick) available on the same night in six of 23 games (with key veteran backups Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown yet to play at all). More takeaways and a look ahead to a second straight Toronto visit by an NBA MVP candidate, this time Dallas star Luka Doncic: ONE OF A KIND It says something about how brilliant Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is that he can shoot 1-for-10 on three-point attempts and still look dominant. The Raptors tried a number of ways to slow him, but only Ochai Agbaji had much success. Davion Mitchell had bothered star point guards like De’Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, LaMelo Ball and Darius Garland quite a bit this season, but Gilgeous-Alexander shrugged him off. It was a hope he misses long shots kind of night, but even that wasn’t enough. I talked to Kelly Olynyk pre-game about his Canadian national team pal Gilgeous-Alexander and how he’s added increased outside shooting to the arsenal (he’s taking over six a game now vs. 2.5 and 3.1 the previous two seasons). Olynyk saw it as a way for Gilgeous-Alexander to make himself less predictable and even harder to stop. “You have to guard him for that now, as he continues to develop that makes that a shot that he’s comfortable with, and going to you’re gonna have to press up and make sure to take some of that stuff away,” Olynyk said. “Or is that something you’re living with? Because he does everything else at a such an elite level ... He’s going to look at how people are guarding him and doing stuff, and he’s going to figure out how he can counter that. And I think shooting that the threes and the pound dribble, step-back and walk up threes, because guys are maybe, they’re scared. They’re scared of what he can do with the ball. So yeah, he’s gonna keep adding stuff to his game and keep making sure he’s as dynamic as he can be.” MOGBO IN THE MIDDLE Without Poeltl and Olynyk (who were both upgraded to questionable for Saturday against Dallas) Rajakovic decided to start Bruno Fernando. Things went downhill after Fernando won the opening tip, with the reserve big man picking up turnovers and fouls before being subbed out (he fared better in a couple of stints later in the game). Rajakovic opted to start Jonathan Mogbo in the third quarter and the rookie again showed flashes, despite being a team-worst -28 against the loaded Thunder. Mogbo scored a career-high 17 points in 23 minutes, and though he didn’t rebound like he usually does (grabbing only one, along with an assist, steal and block), the 31st pick of the 2024 draft is having a nice start to his career. “It was really good for me tonight to see Jonathan Mogbo in an expanding role, against different matchups,” Rajakovic said after first noting how much the team misses Poeltl. “I thought that he had overall good game tonight.” Mogbo actually played a double-header, joining some teammates to also suit up for Raptors 905 earlier in the day before also playing with the Raptors. “Today was different, kind of felt like AAU back in the day, just go out, play hard. Kids were out there (in the crowd), had great energy this morning so that’s what Its all about,” Mogbo said. @WolstatSun
