The Washington Post is really out here reporting on the Taliban tackling climate change

What in the world is that little gem down there in the lower-right corner?

Well, it's a good thing we got out of Afghanistan and let them take over!

Let's see what the article says, shall we?

Before the Taliban takeover, international donors estimated that Afghanistan would need more than $20 billion between 2020 and 2030 to respond to climate change. The United Nations is still able to fund some projects in the country, but Wignaraja said the Taliban-run government is correct when it says that ‘global money for climate has dried up.'

While Taliban beliefs are rooted in centuries-old Pashtun culture and an extreme interpretation of Islam, the government affirms that climate change is real, that it's destroying God's work and that those in the world who reject the truth of climate change need to get on board. The Taliban has asked imams in Afghanistan's tens of thousands of mosques to emphasize during Friday prayers the need for environmental protection.

Carbon footprints will weigh heavily on judgment day, said Kabul-based imam Farisullah Azhari. ‘God will ask: How did you make your money? And then he will ask: How much suffering did you cause in the process?' he said in an interview.

So they're going to be talking climate change during Friday prayer? They're going to care about the environment like normal people who need a good climate in order to survive?

Well, they must be the good guys then!

Never mind all the Taliban's human rights violations and all that jazz. No need to look into their sex slave trade or anything like that!!

They're out here tackling climate change. And that's enough for the Amazon Post to give them approval.
