Direct from COP29: The juicy gossip and a beached whale.
🎧 PODCAST GUESTS: Dan Ilic, Linh Do, Richie Merzian
Salam Fearmongers,
This week we’re connecting with two of our favourite friends of the pod who are wandering around the hall of COP29 in Baku, Azerbijan.
Linh Do & Richie Merzian.
We chat negotiations, financial commitments and how no one at COP is even talking nuclear. And how that dead whale on the shores of Baku (on the land-locked Caspian Sea), rattled everyone on Day 1 of the climate talks.
Richie and Linh also chat about Australia's bid for COP31, the quality of the meals in the football stadium where COP is being held this year,  and, of course, climate celebrity sightings. Yeah, we’re TMZ now!
Cheers
Dan
