World Leader?

The first Chair of the UK's Committee on Climate Change says the political decision to open a new Cumbrian (Northern England) coalmine was profoundly unhelpful (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/16/allowing-cumbria-coalmine-was-disaster-for-climate-diplomacy-says-lord-turner). The Cumbrian coalmine has been used as an excuse for pressing ahead with fossil fuel developments by both China and India. If self-appointed 'climate-leader' UK can open a coalmine, so can they (in spades, as they say). It's also given the green light to creating more coal-powered electricity generation. It shows how a bad example can escalate.
