   COP28 🧵 /13

   "#BigOil needs to have a seat at the table while they light it on fire and break it with an axe."

   Quotable quote from today's COP28 Climate Lens guest & my good friend Dr #JoeVipond.

     @scientist @Bentley Nothing accidental about his appointment. Just billionaires flexing, showing the world who is in control..and those in control have zero interest in slowing fossil fuel production to prevent any level of climate disaster.

     They sell the opposite image

     That's a typical sales technique or corporate strategy. Do some "good" (e.g., 1% of the right action) that the business promotes as a cover story for the 99% of doing the wrong thing

     Why does the general public often fall for this simple con? Because it's simpler to have faith in the sales pitch. In other words, they want to believe that the people on "TV" in posh suits are as honest as they seem

     In capitalism, the dodgy salespeople are rich

     @Bentley

     The president of #COP28, Sultan al-Jaber, has been using his seat at the 'table' to lobby for more oil and gas extraction

     Someone must have forgotten to inform al-Jaber that at a COP you are meant to want to reduce oil and gas extraction

     Maybe he got confused and thought he was doing his day job, as a CEO of an oil company

     A real-life parody of corruption. We are hoping that a bunch of people that regularly lie, will somehow stop lying and do the right thing for the climate

     #COP28 🧵 /19

     Seems like it was just yesterday COP28 President Al Jaber was denying leaked documents outlining his Big Oil company Adnoc's plans to use the world's biggest & most important Climate conference to bang out a bunch of oil deals. How do we feel about that today?

     Not angry or even remotely surprised COP28 President/BigOil CEO/Sultan #AlJaber is spouting old Climate Denialist tropes today. Expected nothing less. I blame the #UnitedNations team that made it possible & of course #JohnKerry for selling it to you in the first place.

     Speaking of our on-the-ground in Dubai greenwash correspondent Dr #JoeVipond, here's his latest Debunktion Junction transmission referenced in today's show, LIVE from the #OPEC Pavillion at COP28 (yes, sadly that's a thing). Security not super friendly.

     Will Alberta's COP delegation be any more truthful than the recent "Tell The Feds" campaign, which was recently debunked by Albertans on the latest Climate Lens podcast? Let's just say we have our doubts. Give it a listen/like/share/subscribe!
