New Delhi. Some developed countries are trying to humiliate India due to continuous oil imports from Russia. In such a situation, the move of COP26 President Alok Sharma is coming under severe criticism in which he endorsed the letter of Quasi Quarteng (UK Secretary, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) in which he is encouraging fossil fuels. Sharma is the Chairman of the Climate Change Conference COP held in Glasgow, UK in November 2021.
The COP talks are held annually to determine collective action to reduce emissions so as to limit global temperature rise to less than 1.5 °C compared to the pre-industrial era.
Sharma had tweeted that we need a properly accelerated plan for oil and gas companies to invest in ‘new clean energy technology’. The future of energy should be clean and green.
“The North Sea is critical to our energy security, so I will start another licensing round later this year,” Quasi Quarteng tweeted. In return, I want oil and gas companies to reinvest their profits in the UK, so we all feel the jobs, the growth, the benefits of new clean energy technology. I think this is appropriate with the image of an appeal to accelerate investment to protect Britain’s energy security.
T. Jayaraman, Senior Fellow, Climate Change, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation tweeted that shocking tweet by the chairman of Coop. Was his play at the closing ceremony in Glasgow real? Here he is tweeting for the immediate expansion of UK oil and gas.
The COP president endorsed the appeal letter, which said, “I also want to make it clear that we will not succumb to the wishes of activists who naively want us to end production on the UK continental shelf.” It has been widely criticized by some influential people.
Tejal Kanitkar, Associate Professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bengaluru tweeted that the Chairman of Coop calls for oil and gas for the UK for the ‘decades to come’. It seems that now we too have an unequal environment. One that can discriminate between CO2 molecules from oil, gas and coal.
