#COP28 is going to be a disaster. And the whole COP process is in the hammerlock of the fossil fuel industry.

@algore »Now the fossil fuel industry is pushing another brazen fraud, by telling the world that the problem is not fossil fuels, but only the emissions from fossil fuels. They are using non-improving tech like CCS and Direct Air Capture as an excuse for never ever stopping oil.«
