COP30 just wrapped up in Brazil with a climate finance deal that's supposed to triple adaptation funding. Sounds good on paper, right? Countries agreed they need more money flowing to handle extreme weather and rising seas.

But here's where it gets messy: they completely failed to chart any path away from fossil fuels. Delegates couldn't even agree on a basic roadmap. Same old divisions between nations blocked any real progress on phasing out oil, gas, and coal.

So we've got more cash promised for dealing with climate damage, but zero consensus on stopping what's causing it in the first place. Classic summit outcome—big money announcement, dodged the hard question.

It's treating the symptoms, not the root cause; throwing money to put out fires but unwilling to extinguish the source of the fire.

This is just a temporary fix, not addressing the root cause. This trick is getting old.

Same old story, throwing money at the problem without addressing the root cause. All they do is give money, why not just ban oil directly? Honestly, it's just the big countries each having their own little agendas, just talking big. Even if COP is held a hundred times, it’s useless. Real change needs to come from the Web3 system. That's why we have more faith in on-chain governance.

It's the same old trap again, throwing money at treatment without actually curing the disease.
