  I'm grateful that you deem a post worthy of being boosted, but who thought it was a good idea to build boost-bots? I'm blocking all bots that I discover. Mastodon is for people interaction. Keep your bots on Bluesky and X.

  In April 2026, Colombia and the Netherlands convened the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta. The conference is the first of a “series of conferences” agreed to by the 18 nation-states participating in the development of a Fossil Fuel Treaty, and will be a solutions-focused forum operating outside the auspices of traditional international climate architecture. https://www.fossilfueltreaty.org/conference #climate
