Sultan Al Jaber, the oil executive who is leading the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, sent shockwaves through the gathering by claiming in the days before the UN-backed talks that there is “no science” that says phasing out fossil fuels is necessary to keep global warming under a critical threshold — comments Al Jaber said were misinterpreted.
Al Jaber held a surprise news conference Monday where he fiercely defended his commitment to climate science, after an increasing number of scientists and advocates expressed alarm at the comments and concern for the direction of the talks.
The future role of fossil fuels is one of the most controversial issues countries are grappling with at the COP28 climate summit. While some are pushing for a “phase-out,” others are calling for the weaker language of a “phase-down.” Scientific reports have shown that fossil fuels must be rapidly slashed to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius — the goal of the Paris climate agreement, and a threshold above which scientists warn it will be more difficult for humans and ecosystems to adapt.
Al Jaber made the remarks during the She Changes Climate panel event on November 21, which came to light on Sunday in a story published by the Guardian, and in video that CNN has reviewed. Al Jaber was asked by Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and current chair of the Elders Group, an independent group of global leaders, if he would lead on phasing out fossil fuels.
In his response, Al Jaber told Robinson, “there is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5.”

The attendees who have an IQ above room temperature know what was said is truth. The “shockwave” comes from the potential for slowing the scam.
To believe in ‘Climate Change’ you cannot believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob..............
No, he was right the first time.

😂 The es-steamed science guys(?) were alarmed at his comments! That alone speaks volumes. “Dude, our grant money and govt research money could be at stake!”. Dear cop28....🖕
CNN is simply missing one key word, multiple times in their article.
Some scientists
Some studies
For decades, companies made a lot of money with creative content......books, movies, sports entertainment etc.
Now it is the news media. They create content rather than reflect it.
Could we all stop calling it “fossil fuels”? Please? There is no such thing. It should be called what it actually is: petroleum.
Abiogenic fuels..................
Ha, China laughs while building a couple hundred more coal power plants for the future
The best way to save the planet is to have world leaders fly private jets from climate conference to climate conference...
Lol.
“Climate Change” is both a hoax and a religion.
Its a renewable, they just want something else so they can have control of it.
That would work also.
Saying petroleum comes from fossils is ridiculous. I am quite sure our Creator was responsible for petroleum’s existence - just as He is responsible for the rest of the universe!
There never was enough biological materials to produce the amount of petroleum extant in the Earth. Even accounting for a couple of billion years.
Plus, how did it wind up thousands of feet, even miles, below the surface?
The outer planets and their moons have ‘fossil fuels’ in abundance, but never anything lived there.
Titan, Saturn’s moon, second largest in the Solar System only to our Moon, has enough liquid methane to power the entire Earth for millennia................
He let the cat out of the bag and now he’s like never mind
You would have to inject reason, logic, and common sense into the conversation, wouldn’t you? 👍🏻👍🏻
The term fossil fuels is as much bullshit as the words climate change.
He let the cat out of the bag
Now he’s trying to stuff the cat back in the bag............
