"No science" says the oil shill
Why would you even want to host a climate change conference in a country whose entire ethos is to opposite climate change measures in the name of oil money?

I mean you are answering your own question.
These people are monsters, greedy and shortsighted, who think that when the famine and water wars begin, their money will still somehow protect them.

As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil company, Adnoc, which many observers see as a serious conflict of interest.
“Many”?
4am@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yes, “many”, not all.
Some people have never heard of him, therefore they haven’t decided he fucking sucks yet lol
cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Should have been ‘most’
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Also, there are likely more than one who have heard of him, know there is a conflict, but pretend otherwise for reasons.

There’s no science to back the existence of Allah, I’m sure this guy is totally not an hypocrite and acts accordingly.
sigh
Fuck this timeline.
pedz@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Even then. One of my religious colleague tried several times to tell me about some “scientific author” that proved the existence of Allah.
Wooki@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Meh. Not concerned at all.
The corruption here is as transparent as glass so any claim to legitimacy doesn’t exist.

You overestimate the critical thinking ability of the general population

“So why not buy more oil? I mean, we are all going to die anyway. Take some hookers and blow back to your penthouse suite and relax till you have to read this prewritten statement by our PR firm letting your people back home know there is nothing they can do either and we will all boil to death. Money is your god, remember? And you CAN take it with you”

This arsehole could be a visionary leader. Instead he’s there because he’s employed by mutual interest to not change anything too quickly. Still gotta squeeze every drop outta the black gold

Don’t give him that much credit.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The president of Cop28, Sultan Al Jaber, has claimed there is “no science” indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5C, the Guardian and the Centre for Climate Reporting can reveal.
Al Jaber made the comments in ill-tempered responses to questions from Mary Robinson, the chair of the Elders group and a former UN special envoy for climate change, during a live online event on 21 November.
More than 100 countries already support a phase-out of fossil fuels and whether the final Cop28 agreement calls for this or uses weaker language such as “phase-down” is one of the most fiercely fought issues at the summit and may be the key determinant of its success.
Prof Sir David King, the chair of the Climate Crisis Advisory Group and a former UK chief scientific adviser, said: “It is incredibly concerning and surprising to hear the Cop28 president defend the use of fossil fuels.
Dr Friederike Otto, of Imperial College London, UK, said: “The science of climate change has been clear for decades: we need to stop burning fossil fuels.
The spokesperson said the presidency had operationalised the loss and damage fund with more than $700m, launched a $30bn private market climate vehicle, brought 51 oil companies to agree decarbonisation targets and 119 countries to sign a pledge to triple renewable energy.
The original article contains 1,438 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 84%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

What a farce. And you just know this is gonna be spun like “see, you can’t trust these scientists”, by the alt-right. Whatever legitimacy any future COP may have had has now gone down the drain.

If COP28 had any legitimacy before, it’s lost it now.
Hyperreality@kbin.social 11 months ago
The president of a climate conference, is also the head of a massive oil company. The whole thing's a farce.
I mean, what's the point?
At this point euthanising your own children, would probably be a kindness.

BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Optics and propaganda is the point. They throw a climate conference, the disinterested public sees that “people are trying” and goes about their day ignorant of the ongoing atrocities destroying our planet
Unaware7013@kbin.social 11 months ago
It was a farce when they were using cop28 to set up oil deals. At this point, it's real life satire.

Doing anything climate related in Dubai has to be a joke.
