The chief executive of the International Energy Agency told CNBC on Wednesday that surging energy prices must not derail the urgent need to significantly reduce worldwide fossil fuel use.“High prices in coal, or gas, or in oil, they have nothing to do with the clean energy transition,” Fatih Birol said. “I see that some say try to portray this current situation as the first crisis of the clean energy transition — which is incorrect.”He added: “If not addressed by the governments and others properly ... and if the real facts are not brought to the public, it may well be a significant barrier for further climate policy action.”His comments come just weeks ahead of a landmark international climate change summit due to be held in Glasgow, Scotland.cnbc.com
