Guardian: Saudi oil scientists worked on IPCC reports

How Saudi oil scientists ended up working on the world’s most important climate reports - Guardian investigation reveals fossil fuel links of IPCC authors, with experts declaring the body’s conflict of interest policy ‘not fit for purpose’ #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

THIS is why the COP process has long been completely unfit for purpose, and why IPCC report findings must be considered very carefully indeed www.theguardian.com/environment/...

IPCC spokesperson: we can't tell you about the obviously inadequate conflicts of interest reviews but you can wait for the assessments themselves to come out in a couple years to judge whether the obviously conflicted senior authors had any influence on them

Revelations that state-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco sought to weaken IPCC climate reports by editing out warnings on fossil fuel emissions expose how petrostates sabotage progress. Prioritising oil profits over survival is reckless. Why let them dictate the science? (1/2) 🤔 #ClimateCrisis

Those who profit from fossilised technology are working hard to conceal the extent of the damage they are doing. No one is immune to the damage done by waiting another two and a half decades to stop increasing the dangers of climate chaos. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Even if every scientist involved is acting in good faith, the optics of oil-industry links in IPCC climate-report authorship are… spectacularly awkward. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This discredits the work of the @ipcc.bsky.social. It's like having Nazis among the prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials. #IPCC #FossilFuels #ClimateChange

Our investigation out in the Guardian today: How Saudi oil scientists ended up working on the world’s most important climate reports At least a dozen IPCC lead authors are employed by or linked to Saudi Aramco, Saudi institutions and other oil & gas interests. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

”At least a dozen IPCC lead authors are employed by or linked to Saudi Aramco, Saudi institutions and other oil and gas interests.” Tänk om vi hade en institution som informerade människor om sånt som rör vår framtida överlevnad…. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"When it comes to the IPCC, the Saudi strategy now focuses on advocating technologies like carbon capture that would limit the impact on its fossil fuel economy." Karbonfangst = grønnvasking.

The UNEP report on overshoot is clear-eyed, although the CDR point worries me. For decades, people have promised CDR as a deus ex machina from climate. It is all over the IPCC reports. It is not my area of expertise but CDR has always seemed to me like a perpetual motion device.

At least a dozen IPCC lead authors are employed by or linked to Saudi Aramco, Saudi institutions and other oil and gas interests The IPCC produces the scientific reports that underpin UN climate negotiations. Experts say its conflict of interest policy is ‘not fit for purpose’.

The #IPCC has increasing numbers of committee members linked to Saudi #oil interests. It really needs to address this as a matter of urgency. #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Arsonist Fire Brigade!! Five so-called independent scientists all share the Saudi energy minister as their board chairman. Nothing screams rigorous academic independence quite like having the world’s biggest carbon emitter proofread the planetary autopsy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
