In the lead-up to the event, a Zoom call during a live online event on November 21st for the She Changes Climate event, which depicts al-Jaber arguing with Mary Robinson, the chair of the Elders group and a former UN special envoy for climate change, where the President of the event questioned the repeated calls that phasing-out fossil fuels would reduce the earth’s temperature by 1.5 degrees.
Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil company, Adnoc, which many climate activists see as a contradiction and conflict of interest.
Robinson contended that not only is climate change such a devasting thing, it also adversely affecting women and young child. The Guardian highlighted this leaked conversion in a report:
“We’re in an absolute crisis that is hurting women and children more than anyone … and it’s because we have not yet committed to phasing out fossil fuel. That is the one decision that Cop28 can take and in many ways, because you’re head of Adnoc, you could actually take it with more credibility.”
Al Jaber said: “I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. 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 1.5C.”
Robinson challenged him further, saying: “I read that your company is investing in a lot more fossil fuel in the future.” Al Jaber responded: “You’re reading your own media, which is biased and wrong. I am telling you I am the man in charge.”
Al Jaber then said: “Please help me, 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.”
“I don’t think [you] will be able to help solve the climate problem by pointing fingers or contributing to the polarisation and the divide that is already happening in the world. Show me the solutions. Stop the pointing of fingers. Stop it,” Al Jaber said.
The full interaction was highlighted during an episode of Redacted.
After he made these statements of a number of leading climate gurus and globalists were aghast at his statements.
United Nations Chief Antonio Guterres told Cop28 delegates on Friday: “The science is clear: The 1.5C limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. Not reduce, not abate. Phase out, with a clear timeframe.”
Bill Hare, the chief executive of Climate Analytics, said:
This is an extraordinary, revealing, worrying and belligerent exchange. ‘Sending us back to caves’ is the oldest of fossil fuel industry tropes: it’s verging on climate denial.
Al Jaber is asking for a 1.5C roadmap – anyone who cares can find that in the International Energy Agency’s latest net zero emissions scenario, which says there cannot be any new fossil fuel development. The science is absolutely clear [and] that absolutely means a phase-out by mid-century, which will enhance the lives of all of humanity.
Prof Sir David King, the chair of the Climate Crisis Advisory Group and a former UK chief scientific adviser, said:
It is incredibly concerning and surprising to hear the Cop28 president defend the use of fossil fuels. It is undeniable that to limit global warming to 1.5C we must all rapidly reduce carbon emissions and phase-out the use of fossil fuels by 2035 at the latest. The alternative is an unmanageable future for humanity.
But since then Sultan al-Jaber has backtracked and claimed that his comments were taken out of context. When asked by press reporters about his previous comments he said this, making reference to The Guardian report:
I respect the science in everything I do. I have repeatedly said that it is the science that has guided the principles or strategy as Cop28 president. We have always built everything, every step of the way, on the science, on the facts.
I know that there are strong views among some [countries], about the phase-down or phase-out of fossil fuels. Allow me to say this again: this is the first [Cop] presidency ever to actively call on parties to come forward with language on all fossil fuels for the negotiated text.
One statement taken out of context, with misrepresentation and misinterpretation, that gets maximum coverage.
If anything, judge us on what we will deliver at the end [of Cop28].
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I cracked up when ‘The Sultan of Swing’ here told that silly woman, “You’re reading your own media, which is biased and wrong.” How true is that? This is why I have said before that the media is the strongarm of the government and military industrial complex; whatever the media prints, that’s the story and it’s final.
There was more heat in that Zoom call than there has been verifiably proven to heat the earth!
As far as I am concerned, the “established science” on this is just made-up garbage and has been since day one. Like the COP President pointed out, whatever the media prints then it becomes gospel. I’m not here to advocate for Big-Oil, but what this guy said initially is on point.
All COP is just some stupid conference where all the bigwigs and fat cats meet together to swap knives, make connections, and make backdoor deals.
[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:20-21
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“Sultan of Swing” haha.
REAL climate change? How about this:
Exodus 32:10
now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Deuteronomy 4:24
For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Hebrews 12:29
for our God is a consuming fire.
Revelation 8:7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
* Dire straits the stubborn lost are in for.
Backpedals
For anyone curious what the real science actually says regarding carbon emissions and climate change, check out Dr. William Happer on youtube to learn more. Ironically the increased carbon in the atmosphere is actually largely beneficial to the global vegetation cover and might very well be the only pollution we produce with overtly positive effects.
I’ll have to check into that. Thanks for sharing.
