An excerpt:
The 22 Arab region countries covered in the WMO’s new State of the Climate report produce about a quarter of the world’s oil, yet directly account for only 5 to 7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions from their own territories. The climate paradox positions the region as both a linchpin of the global fossil-fuel economy and one of the most vulnerable geographic areas.
WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo said extreme heat is pushing communities in the region to their physical limits. Droughts show no sign of letting up in one of the world’s most water-stressed regions, but at the same time, parts of it have been devastated by record rains and flooding, she added.
Ah yes government bad therefore its people also are
No. The middle east (people and governments alike knew the consequences of fossil fuels and they knew their precarious nature.
Make your choice. Live with the consequences of your actions.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate the use of fossil fuel as much as the next guy, but you can’t blame a people for the consequences of everyone’s actions
Yes and no. How popular do you think ending oil extraction is in those areas? Whatever the percent, that’s also a level of consent.
