The Saudi delegation has flatly opposed any language in a deal that would even mention fossil fuels — the oil, gas and coal that, when burned, create emissions that are dangerously heating the planet. Saudi negotiators have also objected to a provision, endorsed by at least 118 countries, aimed at tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030.
They are obviously the one country that must not be asked about this.
There are a few other petrostates with the same issue too
True, they should of course also not be asked. Just phase out now!
