UN Climate Talks President Sultan al-Jaber Responds to Climate Denial Claims: Clarifies Support for Science and Fossil Fuel Phase-Out.
Sultan al-Jaber, leading the UN climate talks, addressed accusations of climate denial, emphasizing his respect for science and commitment to fossil fuel phase-out.
Earlier remarks had sparked controversy, suggesting no scientific basis for ending fossil fuels. Al-Jaber, an engineer by background, highlighted the inevitability of fossil fuel reduction.
The talks center on the challenge of curbing oil, coal, and gas use. Critics question the UAE’s role, given its significant oil production.
Al-Jaber’s response aims to clarify his stance amid concerns about climate commitment. The issue remains pivotal for vulnerable nations advocating a complete fossil fuel phase-out to limit global warming. (Source : BBC)
