Commentary in @thelancet [1]

"The harms of #ClimateChange experienced to date are just an early glimpse into what could become an unliveable future.
27 years of international #ClimateNegotiations have failed to deliver meaningful progress to protect people's lives.

Energy-related emissions reached record levels in 2022, and existing policies put us on track to almost 3 °C of heating.
The #health hazards could be catastrophic, making adaptation efforts economically unsurmountable and futile"

#BigOil has no real intention of #ActingOnClimate. On the contrary, they plan to keep pumping #FossilFuels out of the ground even if it means the overshooting of the #ParisAgreement's goals.

Then, why should they be part of #ClimateNegotiations at #COP28?
