We’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas! Might as well keep raw dogging the planet to make sure my rich friends stay rich.
It’s only the poor who suffer from climate change anyway.

This guy is dumb
Nah, he’s apathetic and completely on the side of the capital class. These choices haven’t been about lack of knowledge for decades.
Exactly what the world needs right now. More CO2 emissions.
The planets fucked.
Whether you like it or not, the UK still requires oil and gas in its energy mix, and will continue to require it for another decade or so. The options are to ship it in from the middle east, US, or Russia. Or, we can source it ourselves from the North Sea. Getting it ourselves will actually have less CO2 emissions as we won’t be shipping it halfway across the planet.
Not if the country went on “war footing” about the climate catastrophe and took measures to ensure that budgets were redirected into eco-investments (eg. stop spending £3 billion a year on the maintenance of 50 trident missiles). Radical investments in things like tidal power, completely free public transport etc. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
This. We’re now past “well we have to kill the planet, because economy”, etc. Renewables, electric cars. Go.

Tbh who’s fault is that. There was plenty of warning and time for the UK to decarbonise. She chose not to.
That is assuming that by extracting it ourselves we are at least equally reducing how much is being extracted elsewhere…. Which obviously isn’t the case. This will take carbon that’s currently trapped under the ground and release it into the atmosphere.
They are killing us for profit & votes
