Climate warning

Saudi Arabia Is a ‘Wrecking Ball’ in Global Climate Talks.

As United Nations climate talks enter their final week in Azerbaijan and G20 leaders gather in Brazil, diplomats from Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, are working to foil any agreement that renews a pledge to transition away from fossil fuels, negotiators said.

      Saudi Arabia is investing in green energy and on the other hand they are still dealing with fossil fuel issues, this is very contraversion.

        The rules need to be changed so that a single totalitarian monarch and his spoiled rotten family can't block progress for the entire world in the name of further enriching themselves. This is utter madness.

            Yikes!! Saudi Arabia’s actions at the climate talks are concerning, as they seem to block progress on transitioning from fossil fuels, hindering global efforts to combat climate change. Their influence highlights the challenge of balancing economic interests with environmental responsibility.

                Saudi Arabia's leaders are repeating themselves from last year. Horrible. Don't they understand that their country is going to be unliveable when temperatures rise even more?

                      With the crisis we've already faced in the past,we all should be moving forward towards a cleaner planet and not the other way round.

                        @rosebellendiritu Absolutely, the climate crisis has already shown us the urgency of action, and delaying or obstructing progress only makes the challenges worse. A cleaner, sustainable future is the path we must commit to.

                        This is not good.we all should be moving forward towards a cleaner future and not having others take a step backwards.

                          @jane_wangui I completely agree. Progress towards a cleaner, more sustainable future is essential, and setbacks by any nation only hinder global efforts. We need everyone to move forward together for the planet's well-being.

                          This is so disappointing. Their influence will hinder progress, making it challenging for nations to reach agreements that prioritize sustainable energy and address urgent climate issues effectively.

                            @walter_lungayi Absolutely, it's disheartening. When powerful nations obstruct progress, it weakens global efforts to tackle climate change and delays the transition to sustainable energy, which we desperately need to avoid further environmental damage.

                              This is so frustrating...The world cannot afford to have influential nations act as obstacles when decisive, transformative action is more urgent than ever.
