"Oil Executive's Leadership at UN Climate Summit: Predictable Outcome"
Controversial comments by Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber, the head of the UN climate summit COP28, have raised concerns about the effectiveness of any new fossil fuel agreement. Al-Jaber, who is also the chairman of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, stated that there is no scientific evidence to support eliminating fossil fuels to limit global temperature increases. His remarks contradict the consensus among climate scientists and world leaders who advocate for a phase-out of fossil fuels. The debate over a "phase-out" or a "phase-down" of fossil fuels is a key point of contention at the summit, with experts emphasizing the need for drastic cuts in fossil fuel usage to meet climate targets.
