An Emirati oil executive has landed in hot water after claiming that there’s “no science” behind phasing out fossil fuels to keep global temperatures from creeping above 1.5 degrees Celsius, an internationally agreed-upon climate benchmark.
His comment, made during a panel led by former UN special envoy for climate change Mary Robinson, particularly struck a nerve as Sultan Al Jaber is currently leading the ongoing COP28 conference, an international climate summit in Dubai.
The conflict of interest is palpable. Al Jaber is CEO of Adnoc, the largest drilling company in the Middle East that’s gearing up to expand its drilling ventures considerably.
