“If it makes more environmental sense to extract it from our waters than it does to import it… then we should” Scottish Liberal Democrat Alex Cole-Hamilton says “the final boss” of our era is climate change, but we “can’t escape the reality” that oil & gas is needed #bbcqt

Net Zero is not solving climate change - it is transferring emissions from Britain to elsewhere. If we shut down our industry but increasingly import products from countries that still use coal, we make global emissions worse.

The delusional attitude toward new oil and gas licences in the North Sea must be dropped by the SNP. Lorna Slater doesn’t seem to understand that if we are relying on oil and gas for years to come, then why should we import it from Norway, when we can drill it ourselves!?

“I said at the first debate and I stand by it, the climate change agenda is a hoax, because it has nothing to do with the climate,” says Vivek Ramaswamy “We should not be bending the knee to this new religion. That is what it is. We are flogging ourselves and losing our modern way of life.” #CostOfNetZero

🚨EVEN SKY NEWS IS SAYING IT NOW Instead of drilling gas and oil from our own waters we're IMPORTING it from the other side of the world WHICH MEANS MORE CARBON None of this makes ANY SENSE But Ed Miliband is crazy and so he keeps on doing this

Climate change is not just a change in the weather. It is changing life on our planet. It is killing people and devastating communities. To limit global temperature rise, we must phase out coal, oil & gas in a fair & equitable way – and massively boost renewables. #UNGA

Saying we must "stop drilling North Sea oil & gas to tackle climate change" is just wrong. Everyone knows we need oil & gas. ✖️We can either pay billions to import more & more - at a higher carbon intensity... ✔️Or use our own - benefitting UK jobs, economy & energy security.

We cannot sell our oil because it is not decarbonized. But we can sell our airports to the countries buying them with oil money? Saudi Arabia does not decarbonize its oil. The UAE does not decarbonize its oil. They are among the most likely buyers of Canadian airports if Carney proceeds with privatization. They will use oil profits to buy Canadian infrastructure while Canada sits on its own oil waiting for a carbon capture condition that makes no economic sense. We are applying a standard to ourselves that we do not apply to the countries buying our most valuable public assets. It doesn't make any sense.

They are all the same. They think the same way, that is why we are different and it is important for us to stay in our different countries. What he is saying makes sense to many Nigerians but to many of us it makes not sense, it is nonsense!

It is time for the Australian Government to admit we can’t insure our way out of the climate crisis. It is impossible to get insurance against likely events, and climate disasters are becoming more and more likely.

Steve Reed, "If we control our own energy in this country: wind, wave, solar and nuclear, we don't have to import fossil fuels.. Then the actions of foreign dictators like Putin don't affect us, it keeps us safer, it cuts energy bills as well, because clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuel energy" "It's cheaper to have our own clean energy than to drill it in the north sea" #BBCQT

"I wonder how people feel about it.. that sense that war is not far away.. what does that do to how we feel" It makes us scared and makes it easier to strip away our rights, welfare & public services, all while shovelling money to the arms companies. Which is the point.

For years Ed Miliband has peddled the myth that North Sea gas is all ‘sold abroad’. This is RUBBISH. All of it is used here and it’s about half of our supply. Without it we’ll import more dirtier gas from abroad. Where’s the sense in that?

It makes absolute sense that we should work with our European allies with whom we have shared security, trade and economic interests. It is right for the Government to forge closer ties with our counterparts on the continent.

Trump: "Nobody's more into the climate than I am, but this is a climate hoax... It's a hoax destroying our country." "You have a thing called weather, and you go up and you go down... The climate's always been changing." "And it makes us totally non-competitive... The green technology isn't powerful enough to power our great plants, so if we want to stop being a great manufacturing capital, let's go green." "Wind is very intermittent. It doesn't work well, and it's the single most expensive form of energy. And we have clean natural gas. We have more energy than any other country... We have it under our feet, and we don't want to use it."

VARNEY: We were always told that coal is the dirtiest fuel, that there are more CO2 emissions from coal than from natural gas. Is that no longer true? BURGUM: It's true, but then the question goes back to the reversal of the endangerment finding, which is, is CO2 a pollutant or is it something that helps plants grow? We know it does the latter for sure

The SNP and Labour want to turn off the taps in the North Sea and risk tens of thousands of jobs. It’s common sense that while we still need oil and gas, we should produce it at home rather than relying on expensive foreign imports. #bbcqt

Caroline Lucas explains that the best way to protect ourselves from fossil fuels is renewables *Helen Whately nods her head in disagreement* Caroline Lucas then points out that drilling in the north sea, it is a declining basin, most of the gas has been extracted, we export 80% of the oil which we don't use "More oil and gas is not the way forward" #BBCQT

As Arabs, we need to understand that Israel and the West are not our oppressors or enemies. We, Arabs, are our own worst enemies. We, Arabs, are our greatest oppressors. We, Arabs, have killed and oppressed a million times more of our people than the West and Israel can ever do. It is not Israel that married off my mother when she was a child. It is my people who did. It is not the West or Israel that has been bombing Yemen for the past decade and killed 400,000. It is us, Arabs, who did it. It is not the Israel that implanted Islamic extremism in the East and the West. It is our mosques, it is the books we worship, it is the Imams we follow, it is what we learn and what we teach. It is not the West that forces us to treat women like commodities. It is our people. And most of all, it is not the West or Israel that doesn’t value Arab lives. It is us, Arabs, who do not value human life. If we do not admit to ourselves that WE are the problem, that WE are refusing to progress, and that WE need to change – then change will never happen, blood will keep flowing, and we will never know peace. How do we expect the world and the International Community to respect us, when we don’t respect ourselves?
