Just a few years ago, oil companies said they felt unwelcome at United Nations climate talks. Not this year.
This year's climate conference is taking place in the United Arab Emirates, a major oil and gas producing country that's looking to increase its oil production. And the oil industry has a big platform at the talks.
The oil cartel OPEC has its own pavilion at this meeting, known as COP28, and giant oil companies are playing a prominent role, to the dismay of climate activists.
So what are oil producers saying in their pledges and statements about climate change? And what does it actually mean?

Oil, gas and petroleum are the three major contributing agents to pollution globally. Their interest isn't to reduce the carbon footprint, but to increase it. If oil and gas become a age old resource then, prices will drop and OPEC might become redundant.
