Thank you for drawing attention to this Vikas.

Very troubling that he is the president of Cop28 and yet is quoted as saying ‘’There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.”
Bill Hare the Chief Executive of Climate Analytics responded, saying “Al Jaber is asking for a 1.5C roadmap – anyone who cares can find that in the International Energy Agency’s latest net zero emissions scenario, which says there cannot be any new fossil fuel development. The science is absolutely clear [and] that absolutely means a phase-out by mid-century, which will enhance the lives of all of humanity.”

It seems that there are enough climate scientists with no vested interest (unlike Al Jaber the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil company, Adnoc) confirming that we need to phase out fossil fuels as a matter of urgency.5 likesReply

"It is the equivalent of appointing the CEO of a cigarette company to oversee a conference on cancer cures,"
