“The president of Cop28, Sultan Al Jaber, has claimed there is “no science” indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5C,
Al Jaber also said a phase-out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable development “unless you want to take the world back into caves”

Who denies there has been a climate or there is a climate? Who denies it hasn’t changed for millions of years?
I do deny they can control the weather/climate.
What an unexpected source to hear truth from. I didn’t expect anyone at COP28 to say anything truthful about anything at all. Sometimes it’s good to be wrong.
Now, if he would just go all the way and admit that:
1. There are no significant adverse effects from anthropogenic GHG emissions.
Of course there are storms, droughts & floods, but those have always happened. None of those problems, nor any other problems which climate industry propagandists dishonestly blame on manmade climate change, are actually worsening.
2. The highest quality long measurement records show that coastal sea-level trends are not significantly different from 90+ years ago.
3. Hurricanes and tropical cyclones have been decreasing slightly.
4. Droughts have also decreased, though only slightly. However, they’ve become much less destructive, as rising CO2 levels make plants more water-efficient and drought-hardy.
5. Major tornadoes have decreased dramatically in frequency.
6. Global warming is saving hundreds of thousands of human lives. That should not surprise you when you consider that humans are a tropical species, and most of the Earth is much too cold for us.
7. But savings in human lives due to warming is dwarfed by the impact of drastically improved food security due higher CO2 levels. That benefit is saving millions of lives.
That’s due to two things:
7.1. It’s because elevated CO2 makes crops much more productive. That’s why commercial greenhouse operators commonly employ CO2 generators to raise the CO2 level in greenhouses by about 1000 ppmv above average outdoor levels. (For comparison, mankind has only managed to raise outdoor CO2 levels by about 140 ppmv since the industrial revolution.)
7.2. Additionally, elevated CO2 makes plants much less vulnerable to drought. That’s not only tremendously valuable for human agriculture, it is also helping to green the Earth. NASA measures it from space; this is their video about it:

8. The best scientific evidence indicates that manmade climate change is modest and benign, CO2 emissions are net-beneficial rather than harmful, and the social cost of carbon is negative.
Fossil fuels all came from CO2 in the atmosphere. Let’s put it back.
