Why have I never heard of COP28 before this month
Ignorance
Lazy marketing of a climate conference that honestly seems to have no real legitimacy at the moment, so no real need to cover it unless paid to cover it?
There may not have been much to tell until it actually started, which was one day before the start of this month (modulo time zones, it was held in UTC+04).
It's an annual thing apparently (except during the height of the pandemic) and this was the 28th time, hence the "28" in the name. Presumably they'll hold COP29 next year, and now you've heard of that one about a year beforehand! 😛
Maybe you're allergic to bullshit and so have been avoiding it pathologically.
I concur!
