"It’s vacuous. It’s completely meaningless. When you unpick what’s behind #netzero, I mean, all it is, I often say, is it’s Latin for kicking the can down the road. It’s passing the burden on to the next generation" @KevinClimate in https://t.co/PDJHATnY2T
@_JamieMcIntyre @KevinClimate Agreed! They quote the IEA to support their case, conveniently overlooking that even the IEA have said NO new oil and gas.
As for the argument that OUR oil is better than foreign oil, come on! every country says that.
"It says the economic wellbeing of whole communities across the UK is also being put at risk"
No, they're not talking about the effects of #ClimateChange @KevinClimate, but about their own commercial interests.
The time to 'pause for debate' is over. https://t.co/WGxNgrJoRA
