OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al-Ghais made headlines at the COP29 climate summit on Wednesday by defending the continued use of crude oil and natural gas, calling them a “gift from God” and stating that conversations about global warming should concentrate on cutting emissions rather than selecting certain energy sources.
