The Saudi delegation has flatly opposed any language in a deal that would even mention fossil fuels — the oil, gas and coal that, when burned, create emissions that are dangerously heating the planet. Saudi negotiators have also objected to a provision, endorsed by at least 118 countries, aimed at tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030.

Who could have seen this coming!?!?
Saudi Arabia has had an active delegation at every IPCC meeting over three decades - no excuse to be unaware, they always manage to scrape as close as possible to rejection from the process. By the way we misrepresent by saying “Saudi Arabia” - petro-dollars are only existential for an autocratic government (similar applies to gas-putin) - Arabian population would benefit from less climate change (their region will approach uninhabitable in summer - pity COP was not in July - note how they moved world-cup).
Where is the news???

I don’t think they care awfully much.

I don’t disagree.
cash cow is bad reason
Their entire government is built on bad reasons. That’s my point. I know it’s not a good reason. That’s a forgone conclusion. My comment was more “is anyone really surprised?”.
