President Nicolás Maduro, during an interview with journalist Ignacio Ramonet, assured that Venezuela is a major producer of hydrocarbons, that it can do little to reduce the possibility of climate change.

“Here those who have to contribute are the countries that consume the most: the United States, the European countries, well, that have destroyed the climate and that tried, since Copenhagen, to create a kind of carbon credits, which was a misleading, false offer, the diplomacy of deception. They offered to create a carbon bond fund for them to pay for the pollution they created in the north to countries that we don't pollute. Venezuela is not a country that emits gas effects, significant greenhouse effects,” he said.

He added that humanity must begin to move, without a doubt, towards non-polluting forms of energy. “In that we are fully incorporated. We have a group of scientists in the highest government moving as a country towards decarbonized forms, and producing all our electrical energy,” said the president.
