I wish the sultan would be clear: To be clear, the aim is not to increase production and then capture the CO2 and put it in the ground! #CCS is just a trick to continue business as usual To be clear, the aim is not to increase emissions and then offset them by buying carbon credits. #Carbonoffsets are 90% #Greenwashing To be clear, the aim is to reduce #oil and #gas #production in order to reduce absolute emissions by transforming into #CleanEnergy companies #Solarpower #Windpower #COP28 #COP28UAE #UAE #Fossilfuels ↘️ #Renewables ↗️

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/07/meet-the-oil-man-tasked-with-saving-the-planet-cop28 This is not exactly reassuring, from the man charged with leading the planet to safety. “My focus is to phase out emissions from everything. Regardless of where it comes from.” At times, Al Jaber – who is courteous and cheerful under my questioning, beaming and friendly but never uncomfortably so, making little jokes about the food, the coffee, my shorthand, inviting me to visit his home in Abu Dhabi after Cop finishes – seems puzzled that the world is not more delighted at UAE’s taking on this role. He is concerned people have not recognised the country’s desire to make a change. Take Adnoc’s extra production. “There is a complete misunderstanding. We are not expanding production, we are expanding capacity. All we’re doing is adding another 600,000 barrels of capacity, which can be produced only if and when the market needs it.” If that capacity turns out not to be needed for fuel, he suggests, hydrocarbons could be turned instead to plastics. He gestures to the carpet, the curtains, his white dishdasha robe.

Swindle, Hans Lak 🚲🌍 🌱 He can play the honky-tonk like anything? CCS and Forest Carbon Credits for existing forests are top of the markee swindle at upcoming COP28. He’s Dr. Sultan of shhhwing.

If a "sultan" is an "emperor" of sorts the same might apply to his new clothes: all made sustainable and stuff ...
