    Places that rely heavily on fossil fuel exports shouldn’t even be consulted on this. We know their stance. Just let them know what the rest of the world that wants to continue living in a hundred years decides and they can adapt.

      Unfortunately the talks rules require “consensus” which has almost always been interpreted as "unanimity " in order to do anything. Having a petrostate running it doesn’t help either
