from the viewpoint of the fossil fuel party
Some more from the article:
The IEA’s second-ranking position has traditionally been filled by an American.
In 2021 that post went to Warlick, a former career diplomat who served as ambassador to Serbia from 2010 to 2012 and previously sat on the National Security Council as the senior director for Russia. From 2014 to 2017, Warlick was the State Department’s principal deputy assistant secretary at the Bureau of Energy Resources and represented the U.S. on the IEA governing board.
The U.S. provides around 14% of the IEA's budget in recent years
Warlick rarely speaks publicly. At an Atlantic Council event in 2022, she said that the clean energy investment caused “geopolitical fragmentation” in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“Such investment is still well below the level needed to bring emissions down if we are to keep net-zero and sustainable development goals in sight,” Warlick said. “Massive investment in clean energy is the best guarantee of energy security in the future, and it will also drive down harmful greenhouse gas emissions.”

OMG! She said THAT!
