Opec leader's leaked letter on fossil fuel blockade creates shockwaves

IndiaTimes Saturday, 9 December 2023
A leaked letter from OPEC secretary general Haitham Al Ghais has caused concern among European countries and small island nations at the CO summit. The letter urges OPEC member countries to reject any text or formula that targets fossil fuels rather than emissions. The push to wean the world off fossil fuels has gained momentum, posing a threat to the oil industry. Negotiators fear that the Saudis, who have traditionally blocked progress, may be unable to do so this time. Small countries vulnerable to sea level rise are particularly concerned about blocking a deal.
