What is most ironic is that an oil producing country hosted COP28 in 2023.

It was quite surprisng and ironic that an oil rich country – United Arab Emirates – in the city of Dubai, hosted COP28.
It was also ironic to note that a conference and all other issues were discussed at this forum by the leaders and officials of all the countries regarding climate change.
The costs must have been millions of dollars for accommodation, meals and transport, etc.
But its peanuts for them.

It is interesting to note that they might also cease oil production in the near future, which is a major contributor for rising sea levels.
It is quite ironic really that all the people know very well what fossil fuels can do to marine life, reefs and the major contribution to pollution.
And above all, the rise in sea levels in the future.
