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 and the oil and gas won't be on stream for at least 10 years and guarantee that it would be sold to UK
