COP 29

On November 24 the UN climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, concluded with a not binding agreement to protect lives and livelihoods from the worsening impact of climate change. Unfortunately, the latter term is not interchangeable with term "global warming", although there are evidence that since 1800s human activities have been the main driver of the heating of earth's surface.  


Climatic variations can be regarded as the main cause of desertification. This factor is increasingly turning our world's drylands into deserts. 
Africa is the driest of the world continents with 45% of its landmass falling into dry mass. 


The two photos have been just took by my daughter, Laura, who is visiting the Eastern part of Morocco right now.

  2. I think humans in the last 250 years or so have really ruined the planet. Do people not realise this is our HOME! It is the only one we have. It isn't like we can move to another planet that can sustain life like Earth. It saddens me, it really does.

    Is your daughter enjoying her holiday? Her photos are lovely, I like the 2 camels :-D

    1. True! Since early 1800s humans have been burning fossil fuels, which release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air.
      The earth was not given to us by our parents, it was loaned to us by our children (Native American quote).

      My daughter is enoying her holiday in the Eastern Morocco. She will come back in Italy this week.

  5. Hi Giorgio,
    Giorgio, I, speaking of COP conferences, in my opinion this is a meeting of a bunch of hypocrites. A Sabbath of witches.
    I, about the COP conferences, have written several texts.
    Giorgio, I salute you!
