Passionate about LGBTQ2S+, climate change, environmental crises; Indigenous progress (Cree Kokum). Majority of my time on these. Love hitting the hills to "go sane."
Only the O&G profiteers. Money markets still not forking over the $$$ investments & international markets backing off for the proven clean energy market - which is much faster to install, without the calamitous historic disasters and able to act at local levels.
Sounds fantastic, but a 15 second Google search found that @financialtimes.com, Morning Star and The Chemical Engineer all write that there will be new drilling. Is this one of those budget announcements where there's something for everyone?

Only if Fossil Fuels industry does some fancy tap-dancing to sell the unproven, ineffective, ultra-expensive so-called solution.
However, there is a dark side to this new North Sea plan in which the fossil fuel industry &lobbyists win - lock-in to gas based carbon capture

Cultural heritage and local knowledge can be powerful levers for climate resilience and should be embedded into policies, planning and finance.

A little pet peeve. It’s not exactly that tropical rainforests have “gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.” Forests lose carbon when people cut them (or via fire) and gain carbon when trees grow. It’s that the losing is outweighing the gaining.
