CarrZee: Britain has used more than its fair share of the global carbon budget. The need for climate justice is the most powerful argument against the UK’s continued expansion.

The Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Rev Graham Usher, said: “This Bill before us is committing us to fossil fuel production at the same time as we are asking other nations to transition away. Our messages are, at best, confused.”

The UK govt side’s arguments are worth reading …eg:

…”if the whole world decided to reduce supply faster than demand, it would “create shortages, massive price rises and huge profits for the oil industry; it will do to ourselves and the world exactly what Putin did to us when he invaded Ukraine and reduced supplies”.
