"Fossil Fuel Lobbyists Overwhelm COP28 Climate Summit, Activists Demand Immediate Action"

Activists protested at the COP28 U.N. summit in Dubai, demanding an end to the use of fossil fuels, which are the major cause of climate change. Demonstrators called for "climate justice" and carried banners advocating for a phase-out of fossil fuels. However, protests have been limited in the United Arab Emirates due to restrictions on freedom of expression. Activists expressed concerns about the presence of the oil, gas, and coal industry at the summit and criticized the emphasis on carbon capture technologies as a distraction from addressing the root causes of climate change.
