    Furthermore, working under the diplomatic cover provided by ambiguous language in the COP28 decision text, ADNOC plans to produce vast amounts of oil and gas for decades to come. In the year that the UAE hosted COP28, ADNOC sought oil, gas and petrochemical deals potentially worth close to $100 billion, a five-fold increase on what it pursued in 2022 and significantly more in dollar terms than in the previous four years combined. Our analysis shows that ADNOC sought or closed deals in 2023 with firms owned by or domiciled within 12 countries, including 11 of the 16 nations targeted in the leaked COP28 country briefing documents. In all, ADNOC and its subsidiaries either clinched or targeted at least 20 deals with international firms in 2023.

    why the fuck would younger generations forgive you, if you treat these conferences as opportunities to secure more business for your oil empire?

      We can be good ancestors, and cut fossil fuel emissions to zero fast enough to leave our descendants with a civilization-supporting planet.

    Ruining the planet is not a forgivable offense.

    I just hope it doesn’t reach the point where certain Western nations are forced to invade oil-producing countries to permanently disable oil production there.
