The Cop28 president has claimed there is “no science” behind calls to phase-out fossil fuels as a way of limiting global heating to 1.5C. The remarks by Sultan Ahmed al Jaber, the United Arab Emirate’s designated leader of the summit in Dubai,

That story has been repeated all over the place and it's a mistranslation of what the Sultan said. He meant there is an absence of scientific guidance on just exactly how a phase-out should occur in order to avoid a global economic collapse.
You are not correct
"During an online event alongside former Irish president Mary Robinson last month, Mr Jaber insisted a phase-out of oil would not allow sustainable development “unless you want to take the world back into caves”.
You need to 'de-confuse' your purpose in reading news reports as to whether you're going to do a superficial document analysis, or, alternatively, actually comprehend the information broadcast. These COPxx things are ALL about the economics of
transitioning to clean fuels, and not to discuss the merits or demerits of the science.
