If Bad Enoch thinks that leaving North Sea oil in the ground is bad for the economy, wait until she finds out what 4 degrees of global warming will do to the economy.

Honestly, the levels of raw stupidity with some of our politicians are off the charts.

Tories pledge to get 'all our oil and gas out of the North Sea'

The government warns Kemi Badenoch's plans would "only accelerate the worsening climate crisis".

Well, I say stupidity. Maybe it's just corruption. Perhaps her sponsors have interests in oil companies and she thinks that whatever bung they're offering her makes letting the planet burn a small price to pay.

Apparently those high walls and steel security gates that rich folk install round their homes will protect them from #ClimateChange. Some sort of localised weather effect like a mini foehn effect in reverse.
@statsguy
If I think about Tory leaders in my lifetime, I can think "corrupt" fits a few, but until the advent of Truss and now Badenoch, I couldn't think of any who were genuinely thick. Badenoch may actually be too stupid to be corrupt.

Is there an Enlish translation of this book? I bugiardi del clima
Potere, politica, psicologia di chi nega la crisi del secolo

Here is an article about her

This Tory-Lady must be on the #PayRoll of the #FossilLobby or #FossilMafia
@LocalZero_Ulm I suspect that there isn't an English translation. If I search for the author's name on Amazon UK the only hit I get is the Italian version, and I can't help thinking that if there were an English translation they'd try to sell it to me
@statsguy
What a shame! Because in this book you will find all the companies that belong to the #OilLobby. In addition, Stella Levantesi describes how this dirty industry engages in advertising and propaganda. She compares the industry and its advertising to the #TobaccoIndustry .
Both industries know full well that their products cause harm, but they continue to pursue their perfidious strategy because it earns them so much money.
Maybe you should look for a publisher and ask for a translation of the book

@statsguy the Stone Age did not come to an end for lack of stone, and there is still plenty coal under the ground but we don’t extract it. The same MUST apply to oil and gas.
@statsguy I wonder if the reason is that she fears Scotland will leave and then it becomes Scotland’s oil and gas…
@statsguy also means fracking, because leaving gas in the ground......
