The United Arab Emirates has appointed the head of one of the world’s largest oil producers to preside over the UN’s COP28 climate summit, in a move activists warned could undermine this year’s global conference.

Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, will oversee COP28, which takes place from November 30 in Dubai. Political leaders and representatives from more than 190 countries will congregate to discuss how to put the world on course to meet the Paris Climate Agreement ambition of limiting temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Tasneem Essop, executive director of Climate Action Network International said in a statement: “[Al Jaber] cannot preside over a process that is tasked to address the climate crisis with such a conflict of interest, heading an industry that is responsible for the crisis itself.

CNN would prefer someone more moderate.

I think the hypocrisy of having hundreds of multi-millionaires and billionaires flying private fossil-fuel powered jets several times a year to discuss how to reduce emissions undermines it even more.

That is why North America needs to Extricate themselves from Foreign Oil. Don’t Worry. It relieves the Price Hikes from the East and makes it cheaper for its Citizens. Renewable Energy Is Coming Soon Enough!!! Centrist Democracy And Economics speeds us to the Climate Goal.

Or, put them front and center as they all try to address the issue.

Alright...

Lol
