Good, but could be better. The truth is that there is not science saying we need to restrict global heating at all. We should let the Modern Warm Period play out like the prior warm periods did.

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 also said a phase-out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable development “unless you want to take the world back into caves”.
The comments were “incredibly concerning” and “verging on climate denial”, scientists said, and they were at odds with the position of the UN secretary general, António Guterres.
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. As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is also the CEO of the United Arab Emirates’s state oil company, Adnoc, which many observers see as a serious conflict of interest.
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.

Hot diggity-dog. Al-Jaber knows from whence he speaks.
The entire COE conference was lighted and powered by the Hassaym coal-fired generating plant just miles away.
That’ll set a few wigs on fire!
It doesn’t matter, the powers that be are going to push to eliminate fossil fuels anyway.

Two points in response to that:
1. “Scientists”? More like government funded bureaucrats. Genuine science has already proven the idea of “climate change” is a political driven fallacy.
2. Gutierrez is globalist POS from a turd world country.
He is an authority on nothing and his opinion is as worthless as a left-handed smoke shifter or a raisen peeler.
Correct.
the ONLY science behind the lemming rush over the global warming cliff is Political Science.
COP28 is a sight to behold: 69,999 babling idiots and 1 rational person, and all the babbling idiots are turning on the rational one. Most people would think such a gathering would be impossible, but here it is, for all to see.
There is no such thig as “fossil fuel”, that is a convenient fiction used to make people believe that the supply of hydrocarbon fuels extracted from the earth is a finite amount.
News alert. The deep crust of earth at the boundary of the rocky crust with the molten deeper layers, continues to generate new quantities of various hydrocarbons in that hellish zone known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity. Supercritical carbon dioxide acts as a powerful solvent, and a reactant in the millions of complex chemical reactions with what is also supercritical steam, water vapor compressed back into a liquid, forming new hydrocarbon compounds known as kerogens. These compounds are then forced into the rocky layers above, where they become reservoirs of crude oil, or refilling “dry” reservoirs that have been abandoned as oil wells years ago. Together with these kerogens, huge quantities of natural gas, composed of methane, ethane, propane and butane, also accumulate, and recharge the crevices and cavities within the rocky crust, to be released by “fracking”, a process that extracts this important energy source.
So the earth’s crust is generating NEW hydrocarbons, and thus meets the definition of a “renewable” energy source.
Al Jabar seems to very smart and is upsetting the climate cultist by asking for facts and a roadmap proving their emotional talking points.
In the meantime I’ll continue to drive my 9.2mpg truck to help deplete fossil fuels 🤣🤣🤣

He speaks the truth - and petroleum products are what has brought us into the modern era - get rid of them and there is no more plastic - take all plastic away tomorrow and we’re back in the 1800s...after 10 years, and a few billion deaths, of relearning how to do things the way they did...
Notice how the climate quacks fret that it sounds like “climate denial” instead of providing actual arguments....
Excellent analysis. Can you sum up the fake carbon dioxide “crisis”?
Making a fool of John Kerry, right after he lectured us about ending coal in the U.S.
Should have said making more of a fool of J F’in Kerry.
That pompous ass should be in an insane asylum.
Sultan Al Jaber better have his private jet double-checked out for explosives before his trip back to the Emirates.

If conflict of interest is a problem, why was Guterres installed as the UNSG in the first place?
