Climate warning
The BBC has dropped a bombshell story in partnership with the Center for Climate Reporting (CCR), claiming that the UAE presidency of the UN’s COP28 climate summit in Dubai secretly used COP negotiations to strike new oil and gas deals that would increase global fossil fuel production.
This story suffers from serious flaws and omissions, and as a result, is misleading. Yet it’s been seized on by environmental campaigners to suggest that the COP28 negotiations are nothing more than a ploy to expand global fossil fuel production.
Dive into this fascinating piece of investigative journalism that sheds light on the ongoing propaganda battle surrounding COP28. Remember, the reality is often more nuanced than it appears
