- cratermoon 3y agoNot just from UAE. He's literally the person who heads up the state-run UAE oil business. From Wikipedia: "minister of industry and advanced technology of the United Arab Emirates, head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC),and chairman of Masdar."[1] Masdar is a UAE-owned company that Financial Times said, "hires lobbyists to deflect climate talks criticism"[2] 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Al_Jaber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Al_Jaber 2. https://www.ft.com/content/6c207836-a26c-4960-888c-bea2890a2835 https://www.ft.com/content/6c207836-a26c-4960-888c-bea2890a2... I'd like to imagine that if I'd been in the room when his name came up as the person to head COP28 I'd have stood up, crossed my arms, and asked everyone, "Are you crazy, or just plain stupid?"
