Saudi Arabia has led a quiet campaign during these and other negotiations — demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels.Aber es kommt noch besser: Die Ölscheichs betteln um Geld, obwohl die Aussichten wohl dezent als "blendend" bezeichnet werden dürfen.
That campaign comes despite an International Energy Agency report released this week showing that OPEC revenues would still increase $23 trillion between 2008 and 2030 — a fourfold increase compared to the period from 1985 to 2007 — if countries agree to significantly slash emissions and thereby cut their use of oil. That is the limit most countries agree is needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.Aber der absolute Brüller: Klimaschutz sei nur ein vergeschobener Grund, die Ölstaaten runterzumachen.
Al Sabban accused Western nations of pursuing an agenda against oil producers, under the guise of protecting the planet.
Kurz gesagt: FOAD.
