If you read the context, that UN chief got trolled and lost his cool. An oil executive is planned to chair this year’s international climate talks in Dubai, and this executive suggested that fossil fuel firms can keep up production if they find a way to capture carbon emissions. Which if you know anything about chemistry or physics doesn't make any sense. The only way it makes sense is if they are planning to do something sneaky later like only capture some of the emissions or just not comply or roll it back or redefine emissions to mean only particulate emissions or something like that. So when the UN guy was arguing against this obvious attempt at deception by this oil exec who is going to chair the climate talks, the UN guy said that fossil fuels themselves were the problem and when he was trying to emphasize that point he said they are incompatible with humanity. Probably that rhetoric gaffe made the day of the oil exec lol he is probably worth his salary to that oil company even if its millions of dollars he made the climate-supporting UN chief sound so dumb. And of course that's the quote that the AP picks as their headline lol.
