Saudi crown prince concludes visit to France

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent gratitude to French President Emmanuel Macron, after his official visit to Paris, the capital of France.

While sending a series of gratitude to Macron, the Saudi prince reportedly said, “As I leave your friendly country, it gives me great pleasure to express to Your Excellency my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the warm reception and hospitality accorded to me and the accompanying delegation.”

During his visit to France, the authorities of the two countries discussed various topics. Prince Mohammed said that bilateral discussions between France and Saudi Arabia stressed the mutual desire to increase the strategic partnership between both countries.

The Saudi prince arrived in Paris on Thursday after spending the previous two days in Greece. On Thursday, he was welcomed by Macron at the Elysee Palace, the official residence of the President of the French Republic. Subsequently, they held a wide-ranging meeting. Macron also hosted a private dinner for the Saudi prince.

Prince also met with the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) director general, Audrey Azoulay. They discussed Saudi cultural initiatives and ways to increase bilateral cooperation.

Saudi Culture Minister Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan and Princess Haifa bint Abdulaziz Al-Mogrin, Saudi’s permanent representative to UNESCO, also attended the meeting. The meeting can be seen as the latest step in the readmission of the de-facto ruler of the kingdom into the international fold.

The visits mark the Saudi prince’s first trip to the European Union since the murder of Khashoggi by Saudi agents at the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018.

Recently, Macron arrived from a three-nation tour of Africa, where he visited Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau.

The French president had already travelled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in December 2021 for talks with the prince.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
