French Energy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said Saturday she was "stunned" after the oil cartel OPEC urged its members to thwart any deal targeting fossil fuels at the COP28 conference.
ADVERTISING "I am stunned by these statements from OPEC+. And I am angry," she said from the climate conference in Dubai, adding that "OPEC+'s position endangers the most vulnerable countries and the poorest populations who are the first victims of this situation".
The minister said she was "counting on the presidency of the COP not to be influenced by these declarations, and to reach an agreement which affirms a clear objective of phasing out fossil fuels".
OPEC+ Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais sent a letter to the group's 13 members and 10 Russian-led allies this week.
The letter has drawn anger from activists and the High Ambition Coalition, a broad group of nations ranging from Barbados to France, Kenya and Pacific island states.
Spain's ecology transition minister Teresa Ribera called the move "disgusting".

Wow, these enviro-whackos are even more stupid than I thought. What else would one expect from an organization called the “OIL Producing and Exporting Cartel?” Uh, if they don’t sell oil to us, they f’ing starve. D’uh!
The Left suffers from extreme dain bramage.
The irony is that now I am rooting for OPEC.

I was wondering when OPEC would finally realize that the enviros aren’t they’re friends.

OPEC’s rejection of the fake global warming scam is equivalent to a Richter scale 7 quake against the global fascist structure. Expect larger quakes in the near future.

What do the backward violent 7th century throwbacks have if they don’t have oil? NOTHING but a bunch of tribal violent low IQ islamic cultists.
