Extraordinary account here of how Al-Jaber said there was no science to back an urgent end to fossil fuel use and tried to silence Mary Robinson, saying she was alarmist and adding: "I am the man in charge" - just days before #Cop28

@codohertynews Grim. The only *only* upside to this is that the infiltration of COP by fossil fuel interests is now clear for all to see.

@codohertynews Well you tell us Caroline what will power the country with no wind like this past week... pixie dust? Until then, I would listen to the man. He knows what he is talking about.

@codohertynews Kindly explain to us Caroline how we Irish might keep warm during this cold spell without the benefit of fossil fuels. Does Mary Robinson, a very frequent flier, not see the irony of her stance on F.Fs ?

@codohertynews Heā€™s absolutely right. Anthropogenic climate change is little more than a theory thatā€™s been carefully crafted into a mass formation psychosis.

@codohertynews How will you heat your house reliably and affordably? How will your food be produced not to mind sent from farm to shop? The phase out of fossil fuels, as the talking point puts it, is insanity. Itā€™s time the media started thinking and stopped peddling the end of days narrative.

@codohertynews Feeble attempt from the usual suspects to slap the misogyny label on what he said. Heā€™s the ā€˜man in chargeā€™ of #Cop28 You knew that didnā€™t you? But it doesnā€™t suit your agenda. Pathetic.

@codohertynews There are plenty of scientists who would agree with him. I wouldn't be taking Mary Robinson seriously on this topic.
