COP28 president says he 'respects' climate science after leaked video
"The president of the 28th World Climate Conference (COP28) fought back Monday, December 4, after being hit by controversy based on a video published on Sunday by the Guardian. "I am quite surprised with the constant and repeated attempts to undermine the work of the COP28 presidency. We very much believe and respect the science," said Sultan al-Jaber, speaking to reporters.
The video shared by the British newspaper shows a tense exchange on November 21 between al-Jaber and former Irish president Mary Robinson, the chair of the Global Elders group. "I'm not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist," says Al-Jaber in the video. "There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what's going to achieve 1.5°C (...) Show me the roadmap for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socioeconomic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.""
