'it's just wrong that the fossil fuel industry has gained so much control over the world's processes for trying to solve the climate crisis'

Al Gore has slammed the level of “control” fossil fuel companies have over the UN climate summit that was supposed to help the world tackle the growing climate crisis they’ve caused. The former US Vice President has called for the “reform” of COP which has now been held in petrostates “three years in a row” with large numbers of fossil fuel lobbyists allowed in.

“Tragically, we are seeing this continued increase in the number and the intensity of climate related extreme events. Citing the research, Mr Gore said the Secretary General of the United Nations should have a role in picking where COP is after Russia vetoed every choice but Azerbaijan last year. He also suggested “a standard set of criteria governing who from the fossil fuel industry can be allowed in”.

“If they can’t pass that test, they ought not be allowed to participate as delegates in these COPs. We ought to push this reform agenda.” “Carbon capture and sequestration is a fraud and they know it’s a fraud. But they continue putting it out there and... some of the right wing media will just do whatever the fossil fuel industry wants them to do.
