It reminds me of Gooch when he was in a dressing room full of unfit drinking mercenaries ... ... the hard working decent MPs must sit their rolling their eyes 29th July 2023 "Tory PMs 'systematically dishonest' about £1 trillion cost of net zero, says Lord Hammond. Successive Conservative prime ministers have been “systematically dishonest” with the public about the trillion pound cost of achieving net zero, the former chancellor Lord Hammond has said."

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. However let's be honest little Rishi is "drill baby drill" only because in the short term he reckons it will give an electoral advantage.
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.
