You know, the host nation who’s economy is based on fossil fuels
COP28 summit: Future of fossil fuels center stage at climate talks
Delegates from nearly 200 countries will convene this week for the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, where conference host and OPEC member the UAE hopes to sell the vision of a low-carbon future that includes, not shuns, fossil fuels.
That narrative, also backed by other big oil producer nations, will reveal international divisions at the summit over how to combat global warming.
Countries are split over whether to prioritise phasing out coal and oil and gas, or scaling up technologies such as carbon capture to try to diminish their climate impact.
So the BBC asks
COP28: Can a climate summit in an oil state change anything?
I don’t know. Kinda hard to force the climate cult beliefs on Other People when
COP28 is about to take place in one of the hottest places at this time of year, Dubai.
70,000 attendees, 1000s of private jets, and a few motorcades for the richest most carbon hungry individuals on Earth, to tell the poorest people they are destroying the planet.
