COP28 clashes over fossil fuel phase-out after Opec pushback

differentiate btw 'phase out' vs 'phase down' on fossil fuels; the language here is an important point of contention... 

By insisting on focusing on emissions rather than fossil fuels, the two countries appeared to be leaning on the promise of expensive carbon capture technology, which the UN climate science panel says cannot take the place of reducing fossil fuel use worldwide.

the coalition “is pushing for a phase out of fossil fuels, which are at the root of this crisis.... “1.5 is not negotiable, and that means an end to fossil fuels.”

Qns: 

1. ‘Fossil fuels should no longer have a part in the production of energy.’ Discuss. (Cam. 2023)

2. Assess the view that attempts to control climate change can never be truly effective. (Cam. 2017)
