    Based on everything I’ve read, it sounds like we should ignore that cop28 exists. It’s just a gas and oil lobbying group disguised as something else.

    What an absolute shitshow. Like an AA meeting where the host and some of the attendees brought in alcohol themselves.

    I mean, fossil fuel companies are dumping billions into green energy, so it would make sense for them to attend the talks.

      They’re present mostly to block decarbonization. The amount they spend on clean energy is about 1% of what they spend on exploration and drilling – basically a PR exercise, not something intended to make a real difference

      They probably spend more money talking about putting money into green energy. Oh and lying about the need for green energy
