Hello and welcome to Outrage and Optimism. I'm Tom Ravikarnik.

And I'm Cristiana Figueres.

And I'm Paul Dickinson back from being lost.

This week we talk about the reasons why and in what way the Iran crisis is accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels.

And we discuss the upcoming conference in Santa Marta on transitioning away from fossil fuels.

Thanks for being here.

Okay, so this week we're looking at the ways in which what is happening in Iran has put the transition away from fossil fuels back at the top of the agenda, both politically and

economically. What we have seen is there is no way to manage development of countries

or economic growth on the back of these fossil fuels that are so volatile. The price spikes up and down.

You have no control of the flow of them out of the Middle East. So that's what we're going to talk about initially.

And then after that we're going to get into this conference that is happening in Santa Marte, in Colombia,

looking at phasing away from fossil fuels.

Which of you would like to kick us off with some framing comments about this enormous issue?

Paul, you would like to.

I would, because I'm back with you two and my favourite people, and I'm so pleased to have the opportunity to talk and talk and talk and talk.

But I love doing.

Look, the International Energy Agency says the walling disruption to flow to the Straits of Hormuz creates the largest oil supply disruption

in the history of the global oil market. And, you know, joking aside for a minute,

you know, airports are going to run out of air fuel and the planes will just stop flying and far more

significantly because most people at airports have got some money super you know the the most vulnerable

people we're talking hundreds of millions of people perhaps you know I don't know the number

are going to not be able to kind of get food or fertilizers. I mean, I'm looking forward to the day
