As Ukraine’s counteroffensive meets stiff Russian resistance,
Europe and the United States are being ravaged by climate
change this summer ahead of the COP28 climate summit being hosted
by the United Arab Emirates, one of the biggest energy
producers in the world. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from
Rhode Island, and longtime climate champion in Congress has joined
other United States and European Union lawmakers in
calling for oil executive Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber to step down from
leading the summit after backlash from activists over the conflict
of interest. One Decision's Julia Macfarlane sat down with Senator
Whitehouse to discuss the war in Ukraine and the growing climate
crisis. Both require that the West, led by the United States, find
global solidarity and agreement at a time of great power rivalries
and difficult domestic challenges. Plus, Sir Richard Dearlove,
the former Chief of Britain's secret intelligence service joins
Julia for an analysis of the conversation.
