CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As reported by The Conversation on Nov. 21, 2022, "COP27 Flinched on phasing out all fossil fuels" with climate ideologues blaming the paltry number of 600 fossil fuel lobbyists for the failure, versus the estimated 35,000 government officials and climate activists who attended, says Friends of Science Society.

Key Points: 
  • Qatar has warned the energy crisis may go on for years, as reported by the Financial Times .
  • According to the International Energy Agency , natural gas accounts for about a quarter of global electricity generation fuel.
