UN Climate Karens Melt Down After COP28 Summit Ditches Fossil Fuel 'Phase-Out' LanguageLast week, Sultan al Jaber, the president of the UN's COP28 climate summit, insisted that there is "no science" behind calls to phase-out fossil fuels, before getting in a hilarious eco-fight with three leading women from the conference over climate change and gender.
“You’re asking for a phase-out of fossil fuel," al-Jaber said.
"Please, help me, show me for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socio-economic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.”
Which has been obvious all along to anyone who understands how solar panels and wind turbines are made.
Responding to the remark, U.N. Environment Program Executive Director Inger Andersen said she lives in Kenya with solar power and clean electricity from the local utility.
“I'm not living in a cave," she added.
She is living in a cave, a cave of mental ignorance.
"We have made progress, but we still have a lot to do . . . including on fossil fuel language," said Jaber, adding "We should not allow anything to get between the fact we have all decided to keep our focus on our north star . . . of keeping 1.5[C] in reach."
The 1.5c target was set during the landmark 2015 Paris climate accord, as countries agreed to limit temperature increases to well below 2C and, ideally, 1.5C, as if that's even possible, and even if it were, assumes China and India would give a rat's ass and play ball in this completely academic exercise.
The president of the UN's COP28 climate summit admits it, all it ever was, an academic exercise.
