The US special presidential envoy for climate also raised doubts over whether the new projects would actually go ahead
Asked how Mr Sunak’s aims could possibly align with what he had said in his speech, Mr Kerry replied: “It’s not my job to be commenting on other countries’ policies specifically.”
But when it was put to him that his comments about the urgency of climate change did not align with the UK Government’s position, he said: “Well then, you’ve got your answer.” He added: “We have to do what the scientists tell us keeps [the target of limiting global warming to] 1.5°C alive. That’s our standard in the United States, and that’s the standard, I think, of most of Europe, and I think this had been the standard of the UK.
“I don’t know how that plays out in terms of what they’ve said about ‘every last drop’, but that’s not our policy.” Mr Kerry also said he was doubtful about whether the planned North Sea drilling licences would actually result in oil and gas being extracted as the global focus switched to“Let’s see whether they actually drill. Let’s see what happens. Because I think that dynamic is shifting all over the world. There’s a change in the demand curve and there’s a change in the supply, and we’ll see how this works through,” he said.
