In words that suggested the UK could place yet more emphasis on technologies to capture and store carbon, Graham Stuart said fossil fuel production was not driving climate change, but demand for fossil fuels was.

His statements were a bullish defence of the government’s much-criticised stance.

“I don’t think supply is the key driver – it is demand we need to focus on,” said Stuart, who will attend the Cop28 UN climate summit that begins later this month, where the future of oil and gas production will be under scrutiny.

    Ah yes, the all knowledgeable denying that one form of pollution even matters. Amazing how you can be condescending without even having someone else to argue with.

    I believe that this is a form of whataboutism? As in, what about the heavy metals? So lesser pollution doesn’t matter
