Cop28 president falsely says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels
Cop28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels
COP28 proving again that world leaders won't do shit about climate change. As with everything else, it's time we take matters into our own hands until they actually solve the problem and claim everything was part of their plan.
So this is going about how we expected.
Big Oil exec says he likes money and will let millions die to pad his already overinflated bank account.
I mean this is just a joke on so many levels. How could something like this happen?
money
So what is the president selection process like?
Chosen by the oil dictatorship which runs the host country.
Legally speaking the president is elected by the Federal Supreme Council, which is made up of the monarchs of the states of the UAE. In practise it is the ruler of Abu Dhabi, until he dies and for a day the ruler of Dubai takes over until they elect the next ruler of Abu Dhabi as president.
Yeah this outcome was completely out of the blue.
The problem is not the COP28 president
The problem is that the majority of world leaders, thinkers, academics, professionals and supposed leaders of this conference all decided that this should be the leader of this group.
The whole thing's a joke and I'll meet you all in the post apocalyptic wastelands ... if I or any of us survive.
Actually, it was not a majority decision, it was the turn of the "Asia" UN region to choose the location of this COP. (The previous one - not far away- was theoretically "Africa", and the next one is meant to be eastern-bloc Europe). Of course they could, and should, change the UN traditions (or rebuild from scratch).
And then all of these clowns arriving with their stupid government private jets. we would honestly be better of without this.
It is very hard to get a person to understand something when tier job is tied to not understanding it.
What a fucking joke
Isn't climate change like one of the findings with most scientific research and consensus around it? Is he trying to say that we don't 'know' that cutting co2 emissions with cutting oil consumption specifically will help? (Which is also not true) Or I guess he's probably just blatantly lying.
He's an oil executive, so blatantly lying at the behest of the local royalty which owns the company and country
Dopey dwarf looking MF.
And that's how it sounds like when you trade integrity for money
