The Least Surprising Statement For 2023?

Shock! Horror! The United Arab Emirates Cop28 President announces, within days after his 'triumph', that Adnoc (the UAE's state oil company) will keep on investing in oil. They must do this, he says, because it 'has to meet the demand for fossil fuels' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/15/cop28-president-sultan-al-jaber-says-his-firm-will-keep-investing-in-oil). Adnoc could always tell the demanders they should wean themselves off the black stuff. That, however, would cut into profits!
