Killer Rabbit 90More evidence he should not have been #COP28 president; a #FossilFuelLiar and more. "Cop28 president says his firm will keep investing in oil" https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/15/cop28-president-sultan-al-jaber-says-his-firm-will-keep-investing-in-oil #SultanAlJaber #COP28CoOptedByFossilFuels #COP28ISAJoke #BanFossilFuelInvestments #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange
The Japan TimesA draft of a potential climate deal at the COP28 summit suggested a range of measures countries could take to slash greenhouse gas emissions, but omitted the "phase out" of fossil fuels many nations have demanded. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2023/12/12/climate-change/cop28-fossil-fuel-phase-out/?utm_content=bufferb8c9b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #environment #climatechange #cop28 #sultanaljaber #dubai #uae #climatechange #environment #oil #fossilfuels
DoomsdaysCW"AMY GOODMAN: It’s one of the largest oil corporations in the world, #ADNOC, the #AbuDhabiNationalOilCorporation, #SultanAlJaber, who is the head of this COP.
"NNIMMO BASSEY: Yes. And, you know, we’ve heard so many things going on. And with the #FossilFuel industry being so prominent here, with bankers crawling the spaces of the COP, we’re seeing a lot of trade discussions. And, you know, this breaks my heart when I look at the way African negotiators or policymakers, the politicians, are bending back and accepting whatever is being thrown at them by the — through those who are investing in #CarbonOffsetting or #CarbonTrading mechanisms. We’re seeing a sellout of #AfricanContinent.
"And we know the implications for this. One, it means once you sell out a territory for a period of time, you’ve lost #sovereignty, so to speak, over that place, over that #forest, over that community, over that territory. And then it means negatively — negative impact on communities who live in the area that we are selling out. We’re talking about millions of hectares being mapped out to be sold for #CarbonCredit generative facilities. And, you know, some of this means #reforestation or forestation. It means clearing the land and planting new trees. Now, that itself emits, releases a lot of carbon from the soil. And then, of course, these #NewTrees are #monocultures, and they don’t — they are not as efficient #CarbonSinks as #NaturalForests. And so we’re seeing losses in every dimension."

The Sultan Al Jaber is going the big ‘con’ —>
..we can burn as much fossil fuel as we like because Carbon Capture will save the planet from overheating, due to CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect.
..and btw, the the science is flawed on 1.5 deg is achievable by cutting emissions 😳
RedNirgalMaybe, but as the president of #COP28 and at the same time #ceo of #uae's state #oil company #ADNOC (not at all a #conflictofinterest - he is a very upright person, everybody knows that), #SultanAlJaber said, we prefer a #climatecollapse, than living in caves.
Well... at the end everyone will return to the caves, except the #UltraRich, like the Sultan, who will live in bunkers.
Earth on verge of five catastrophic tipping points, scientists warn

SyulangGiving the COP to a petrostate who nominated the head of their state owned oil corp as COP president, (and their UN climate envoy) really is the biggest "fuck you" ironic gesture to the world since Kissinger was given a Nobel peace prize.
Mediapart#Écologie 🌱 Les pétroliers renoncent à leurs promesses climatiques, le président de la COP28 les adoube
Ces derniers mois, les majors pétrolières sont revenues sur leurs engagements pour la transition écologique. #SultanAlJaber, à la tête du sommet international sur le #climat de Dubaï, a soutenu, à rebours de la science, qu’il n’y avait aucun scénario prouvant que la fin des énergies fossiles sauverait le climat.
