TIME Rewards Climate Villains

The Center for Climate Integrity argues that TIME magazine's list of influential climate leaders erroneously includes fossil fuel executives, such as Sultan Al Jaber and representatives from ExxonMobil, thereby failing to recognize the industry as the cause of the climate emergency.

• The Center for Climate Integrity claims that TIME's list of the "100 most influential leaders driving business to real climate action" includes individuals from the fossil fuel industry, specifically naming ExxonMobil and Sultan Al Jaber, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, as "climate villains."
• The document asserts that Sultan Al Jaber, the host of COP28 in Dubai, intended to use the climate summit to facilitate oil and gas deals shortly after being recognized by TIME as a "climate leader."
• The author argues that mainstream media continues to fail by presenting the fossil fuel industry as a solution to the climate emergency rather than its cause.
