We do not republish articles from Newsweek. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on newsweek.com (opens in a new tab)Indonesia's president argues in a Newsweek opinion column that the Strait of Hormuz crisis has made dependence on imported fossil fuels financially unsustainable. He says larger emerging economies such as Indonesia must mobilise their own capital for renewables, and that rich countries must still fund adaptation in poorer ones. The column's facts and figures are not contradicted by anything supplied, and nothing in it misleads the reader on the science or on climate policy.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“relying on cheap, reliable fossil fuels—has had disastrous consequences for the world”
The writer states plainly that burning fossil fuels has caused grave global harm, in line with the documented record that human fossil fuel use drives warming.
“exposed the greater cost of our collective inaction”
The column sets the cost of not acting on climate against the cost of acting. It does not present climate action as pure cost.
“Nor can the world suspend climate action until that reform is complete.”
The writer keeps the case for cutting emissions now, in line with the record that every increment of warming avoided reduces harm.
