As the UK is poised to issue licenses to drill for new sources of oil & gas, it is perhaps worth remembering that:

1. UK & every nation signed Paris Agreement to pursue efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C

2. UK & every nation endorsed IPCC conclusion that if world burns all fossil fuels it already has access to then global temperature rise will exceed 1.5°C

@ed_hawkins @sellathechemist Site, but that agreement was signed when the pinko Commie Cameron was in Number 10. No Conservative PM should feel bound to follow policy imposed on the country by… another Conservative PM!
