The rate of warming’s increased by ~57% over 20 years. Therefore it’ll take roughly 5 years to hit 2° assuming we’re at 1.5° now which we are.Then 2½ years later add another ½ a degree etc. Using a 30yr average skews results when warming has exponentially sped up & presumably will continue to do so.

My son was 1 when world leaders pledged to keep global warming below 1.5C in an attempt to avoid irreversible climate collapse. When he was 10 the planet spent a whole year above 1.5C. By the time he’s 14, 1.5C will likely be crossed forever. The greatest betrayal in the history of our species.

Given that there's very little refining capacity for N Sea oil in the UK, so it must be exported, this idea is ill-considered bunkum, which I'm afraid is what I've come to expect from Dale. But his nonsense does succeed in boosting the oil lobby and undermining green policy at a critical time.
