Climate change: Opening Cambo oil field would be an ineffective response to energy crisis caused by Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine – Scotsman comment

Energy prices had been rising even before Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.

The need for democratic countries to rapidly wean themselves off the fossil fuels that fund Putin’s war machine has led further sharp increases and calls for the UK to start producing more of its own oil and gas.

However, it remains the case that the whole world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels or face a much greater enemy than the Russian despot, despite his nuclear weapons.
