Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman al Saud on Thursday said that his country has not attempted to block any climate measures amid speculation that it is working behind the scenes to sabotage negotiations. “What you have been hearing is a false allegation and a cheat and a lie,” he said, adding that they have been "working well” with the head of the U.N. climate talks and others. ADVERTISEMENTNegotiators from 200 countries convened to discuss the following steps to cut the world's fossil fuels and combat climate change. Despite the complaints, Saudi Arabia has agreed to participate in climate measures. Just before the climate talks in Glasgow, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced that the kingdom would cut zero out its carbon emissions by 2060, according to the outlet.
