Announcing a huge carbon capture project immediately followed by an expansion in oil and gas drilling licenses will get the usual suspects dancing, but it's the way forward.

China and the USA are the big polluters, then also you have the majority of the worlds population who are very poor, wanting Western lifestyles and how that is going to happen.

I think it's as simple as energy security. We should never have farmed it all off elsewhere in the first place.

Most people understand it's more complicated than just stopping or just restarting.
