Rishi Sunak has insisted his plans to “max out” the UK’s oil and gas reserves are “evidently” sensible as he faced a growing backlash for allegedly betraying climate pledges. The Prime Minister has insisted that granting more than a hundred new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea was “entirely consistent” with the UK’s net-zero commitments – despite climate campaigners branding the move “wrongheaded”. TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with The Climate Party's Edmund Gemmell on Net Zero after he says the UK should “bring forward” the 2050 target. “You think somehow we’re going to build enough power stations, wind farms, wave solar panels… you’re living in cloud cuckoo land Edmund!“ #talktv #talkradio #netzero
