“Cabal of Oil Producers“: Climate Scientist Kevin Anderson Slams Corporate Capture of COP28

Support our work: As we broadcast from COP28 in Dubai, leading climate scientist Kevin Anderson lays out why he dismisses the annual climate talks as “grand events“ that do little to actually curb emissions. “These COPs have become little more than a scam under which the oil companies and the other fossil fuel companies are hiding that nothing is being done,“ says Anderson. Decades of inaction make solving the climate crisis much harder, and Anderson notes “technology and fairness have to go hand in hand“ in order to save the planet.
