evidence: In a recent online event on November 21, Sultan Al Jaber, the president of Cop28 and chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil company Adnoc, made remarks that have sparked controversy among climate scientists and policymakers. Al Jaber claimed that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that a phase-out of fossil fuels is necessary to keep global heating within 1.5C, a statement that contradicts widely accepted scientific consensus. For this reason, we analyzed the claim "There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C" using Climinator. Its verdict is "incorrect" and the reasoning based on the reasoning of the Mediator that aggregates the responses from the Advocates, given below. [...] AbsCC Advocate: The AbsCC Advocate noted that while the phase-out of fossil fuels is a critical component of many scenarios to limit warming, it alone is not considered sufficient. Other measures such as carbon dioxide removal and a mix of policies are also deemed necessary. The level of evidence and agreement is high, and the verdict is that the claim is mostly accurate.
