Former Irish President Mary Robinson was accused of being alarmist and making false accusations in a shocking rant by the sultan heading Cop28 after she asked him to take the lead in ending the use of fossil fuels. He repeatedly told Mrs Robinson to get her facts right and accused her of finger-pointing instead of seeking solutions. “We’re in an absolute crisis.… and it’s because we have not yet committed to phasing out fossil fuel,” she said. “The COP president was unwavering in saying reaching 1.5C involves action across a number of areas and sectors. The COP President is clear that phasing down and out of fossil fuels is inevitable and that we must keep 1.5C within reach.
