Tony Blair Institute clarifies climate report: comment

“Given the clarification the TBI has had to issue, this seems like a bizarre case of naivety on how parts of the media and politicians might misinterpret some of the statements in the foreword.

"More carbon capture and storage, 80% of which has gone into extracting more oil and gas to date, nuclear and nature-based solutions, even AI, are not new suggestions and in the UK the government is pursuing all of them to an extent. The majority of the public back net zero, and the science is clear that unless we reach net zero emissions, we don’t stop climate change. The public don’t want climate extremes of flooding, wildfires and crop failures to get ever worse, and it's ironic that this has come on the same day the Climate Change Committee published evidence of how climate extremes are already threatening the UK.” [2]
