"In a stunning example of ‘green washing’, this year’s UN Climate Change
Conference is going to be a bit different. The difference is, COP28 is being
led by the CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.

If that wasn’t enough of a conflict of interest, the number of delegates from
oil companies will outnumber the number of delegates from green energy,
scientists, climate change advocates… you get the idea. Because of this, it
would be safe to say this year’s COP conference will be a major turning point
in the narrative of the climate debate.

Like many things with multinational corporations and large systems, the general
public won’t notice these changes, because they are being slowly introduced
over time."
