Protesters gathered outside the COP28 conference to highlight the hypocrisy (Screenshot via YouTube)Hypocrisy is on display at the latest COP climate change conference, with fossil fuel lobbyists dominating the guest list, writes Dr Binoy Kampmark. In the first place, fossil fuel lobbyists have outdone the number of delegates from climate-vulnerable nations — the number there comes to a mere 1,509. In terms of country delegations, the fossil fuel group of participants is only outdone by Brazil, with 3,081 people. No need for notes, then, when advancing the fossil fuel interests of country and industry. What is just here is a fascinating question, given the lobbying by the fossil fuel advocates who have a rather eccentric notion of fairness.
