"Oil CEO as President of UN Climate Talks: Amy Goodman's Attempt to Question Raises Concerns"

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! attempts to question Sultan Al Jaber, the CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and president of COP28, about his controversial comments denying the need for a phaseout of fossil fuels to limit global warming. Al Jaber's remarks contradict those of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who emphasizes the importance of phasing out fossil fuels. Goodman also questions the record number of fossil fuel lobbyists present at the climate summit. Despite attempts to question Al Jaber, she is directed to a press conference scheduled for the following day, which ultimately does not take place.
