As government officials, corporate leaders and other elites at the World Economic Forum grapple with how to confront climate change and its devastating effects, a central question is emerging: to what extent can oil and gas companies be part of a transition to lower-carbon fuels?

In different times the question could have been academic, the kind of thing critics of the forum, which takes place in a tony ski village in the Swiss Alps, would say had no relevance to the real world. But today, the question is both practical and urgent, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine has forced many countries that depended on Russian oil and gas to make swift changes to energy supplies.

She said the "economies of the future" will no longer rely on oil and coal but the green and digital transitions will rely on other materials like lithium, silicon metal or rare earth permanent magnets which are required for batteries, chips, electric vehicles or wind turbines. That includes Turkey's pushback to Finland and Sweden applying for NATO membership. Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said at Davos that a delegation from his country and Sweden will travel to the Turkish capital Wednesday for talks.

On Monday and again on Tuesday, the head of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, said the urgent energy needs of the moment should not turn into an excuse to make long-term investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, which has spiked in recent months.

Stupid globalist

More pablum please. What a bunch of hipocrits. Send selfies.

Biden let it slip he out to kill the oil industry and millions of people with it

Abolish billionaires, Davos and WEF.

Judgement is on the earth...if y'all don't see it,You're truly being duped. Get right with God...take up your cross and follow Jesus out of this world...yuh know yuh gotta leave sometime...put your faith in him cause this world is going to Hell ina handbasket...truly look around

Who cares about the WEF

These idiots need to address Lake Mead drying up and how many millions will be without hydro n water by January?🤣Can they make them friggin missiles and nukes green? Cause I'm sure all them bombs doing warp speed through our atmosphere doesn't have any effect right? Godzilla🤔

Can't say what I want to cause I'll go to Twitter jail or receive an email checking my mental health status 🤣🤣🤣may the Lord Jesus return with fire and fury and bun up the Satanic system at hand...their time is limited...but in Helfire their time will be eternal Tribulation🔥

How about making vehicles fuel efficient? Or making the government efficient? Or, and this is far more likely, the entire world more efficient? This is a lazy person's world, and it shows.

No shit

Yes...it means GREENWASHING. 😂😂😂

If you look at what goes into making green energy it's all oil and lots of it! The carbon footprint of one EV is much greater than a V8 pickup truck. The world economic forum is destroying everything that we know and Trudeau is a huge part of it.

Yes! Include an additive that visually makes it green. 🙄

It's The Globalist Gang!

'Going green ' means, for civilian, no eating, no clothes, no housing, no traveling, for elites, being granted every benefits , including endless of traveling with private jets.

Switzerland another swamp!

So how many jets and limousines are being used to get these privileged bubble heads from home to Davos?
