idea of widespread carbon capture an "illusion.".
The West's energy watchdog said the fossil fuel industry

clean energy or allow the impending climate crisis to worsen.
In response, OPEC issued a statement accusing
the IEA of painting oil producers as villains.
This presents an extremely narrow
framing of the challenges before us,

such issues as energy security,
energy access and energy affordability, OPEC statement, via NBC.
NBC reports that greenhouse gas emissions
from the burning of fossil fuels remain
the leading cause of climate change.
