Gore critiqued the initial decision to hold the COP28 climate talks in the United Arab Emirates, a leading producer of the world’s oil. According to a latest post on X, the former Vice President found the current talks to be “worse than feared” and denounced the summit to being OPEC driven. “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates”.
The summit which started on the 30th of November, ends tomorrow on the 12th of December.
“There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe”, said Gore.
