Last week, I joined my colleagues at COP28 in Dubai , as negotiators and civil society push for a fossil fuel phaseout to meet climate goals. This year there has been a lot of attention on the more than 2,400 oil and gas lobbyists at the climate meetings. Global net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions 1990–2019.

This group of nearly all the world’s nations says that it: [R]ecognizes the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in line with 1.5 °C Coal is supposed to be “phased down” except where the resulting carbon dioxide is removed and securely stored (which may or may not actually be feasible).
