The UK’s outgoing climate change tsar has told the Record the Westminster and Holyrood governments are both “fiddling about” while the planet burns
.
Lord Deben said Scottish and UK governments had shown they could work together at the COP26 summit in Glasgow two years ago – where they’ had “led the world” on climate issues. His administration has also raised eyebrows by appearing to row back on a tough stance against new North Sea drilling proposed in an energy strategy under Yousaf’s predecessor Nicola Sturgeon. Speaking to the Record shortly after taking office, Yousaf stressed it was merely a “draft” strategy.
"I just think it is unacceptable that we should allow politicians to take these things and make them party political.” Lord Deben said: “First of all, if you do that, how can you help African and Asian nations not to extend or open up new oil deposits and use that instead of renewables? How can you tell them not to do that when you’re doing it?
