‘Emotional dialogue’, not science, dominating climate change debate, warns Saudi envoy of climate affairs

RIYADH: “Feelings and emotions” are dominating the debate around climate change instead of logic and science, the Saudi envoy of climate affairs has warned as he said fossil fuels will be around for decades.

Adel Al-Jubeir used an interview with Asharq to insist the technology to tackle global warming exists, but the dialogue around energy transition needs to be “logical, scientifically grounded, and free of sentiment.”
