COP28 has made global headlines this week. While many were initially in support of the twenty-eighth iteration of the climate summit, it's faced backlash this week - partly because it's being held in Dubai and partly because the President, Sultan al-Jaber, has ties to the national oil company.
Just yesterday, it was reported that al-Jaber claimed there was “no science” to back phasing out fossil fuels - quite the opposite of what many around the globe hoped to come out of the climate conference. A clear majority have been pushing for an end to the fossil fuel era, with numerous studies, including the "code red" IPCC report in summer, conclusively proven fossil fuels to release planet-warming greenhouse gasses.
