COP 28

A few moments later…
In Dubai members of the oil producer Alliance OPEC Plus have been blocking progress toward a global agreement to phase out the use of fossil fuels as the UN’s COP 28 climate summit in Dubai barrels towards its conclusion.
Tuesday, led by Saudi Arabia, delegates from OPEC countries backed by coal oil and gas lobbyists have rejected any draft text that even mentions fossil fuels.
This is democratic Massachusetts senator Ed Markey speaking from the sidelines of the COP 28 talk Sunday:
“COP should conclude with a final statement that says that the world wants to end this addiction, it wants to phase out fossil fuels. OPEC does not want to phase out fossil fuels, they made that very clear yesterday.”

Alicia Prager, Standard journalist, reading the PR texts one day later: Could we experience a sensation?!
No. We couldnt.
Because, journalism.
Not letting yourself be flown across the world residing in climatized hotel rooms, reading PR press texts, then “basing your work on it”.
Wo bleibt die APA, wenn man sie braucht.
Oh well…

Klimagipfel droht zu scheitern: Neuer Entwurf nennt kein Ende für Fossile
NEIN!
Wollen wir hier die timeline nochmal durchgehen?
edit: Das wird aber nichts mit der anderen Meldung von vor zwei Wochen zu tun haben, die wir ebenfalls vergessen haben zu bringen, oder?
UAE officially stops using dollar for oil trades
Reports indicate that the UAE is eyeing potential oil and gas deals with up to 15 countries, including heavyweights like China, Russia, and Egypt, all of whom are members of the BRICS alliance and advocates of de-dollarization.
This isn’t just about diversifying trade; it’s about making a statement on the global stage. The UAE is not just following a trend – it’s setting one.
The move by the UAE to embrace local currencies in oil trades is not an isolated event. It’s part of a larger narrative where nations are increasingly questioning the status quo and exploring alternatives that better serve their economic interests.
