Saudi Arabia is driving a huge global investment plan to create demand for its oil and gas in developing countries, an undercover investigation has revealed. Critics said the plan was designed to get countries “hooked on its harmful products”.

Little was known about the oil demand sustainability programme (ODSP) but the investigation obtained detailed information on plans to drive up the use of fossil fuel-powered cars, buses and planes in Africa and elsewhere, as rich countries increasingly switch to clean energy.

    You mean to tell me that countries who buy the products have issue when their suppliers sell to other people?

    If they UK have issue with fossil fuels they should actual act instead of pertending to care about global warming when the saudi tried to sell a product, and at the same time not doing anything to reduce their emissions.

    In fact about 12 or something UK companies sign gas extraction deals with Isreal three weeks ago from the shores of Gaza…

    You don’t see a title: Isreal (hook) UK gas companies with (multi billion deal).
