As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil company, Adnoc, which many
observerspeople with a brain see as a serious conflict of interest.I’m not that up to speed on research and stuff, but isn’t like all the science behind that?
Well, the science says stop right now, not phase out… And we’re only talking about phase out
No, only the science based on decades of research, statistics, and hundreds of climate models.
Here is the real kicker:
In 1996: COP 2, Geneva, Switzerland the very first point (after COP1 was just a kickoff) was:
- Accepted the scientific findings on climate change proffered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its second assessment (1995);

Sheikhs will be Sheikhs
We’re boned, aren’t we?
Pretty sure we are, its just a matter of how badly.
Breaking news: Fossil fuels company CEO who was somehow allowed to run an international climate change summit says that fossil fuels aren’t bad. Everyone is befuddled as to how such a thing could have happened.
Quote in the article from Al Jaber:
unless you want to take the world back into caves
This is projection: the nations whose economies are solely based on oil, will be going back to caves when their oil is either depleted or otherwise made impertinent.
I wish I could find the quote, which came from a Saudi prince I think, and went something like “Before oil, my grandfathers were herders; after oil, my grandsons will be herders”.
Without diversifying before it’s too late, I think that prince might be right. (Notwithstanding climate change issues, and how brutally hot it already gets there.)
If you wear a dress and a head blanket… you might not be a reliable source for climate or fossil fuel I formation and probably aren’t a good choice for COP president. Just saying.
It’s telling that out of all the things wrong in this situation you chose to focus on how someone dresses
A lot has happened since December 3rd, when this article was published.
Not really lol.
