The lecture wais done by Professor Myles Allen, Gresham Frank Jackson Foundation Professor of the Environment, 26th of November 2024 and you should watch and listen him carefully.
When oil and gas industry leaders flew into Houston for CERAWeek 2024, oil was over $80 per barrel and demand higher than ever. There was little discussion of “transitioning away from fossil fuels” as agreed at COP28 in Dubai. In the run-up to COP29, this Gresham lecture argues for a change in the narrative, so those with the ability and resources to solve the climate problem have less incentive to shuffle responsibility onto ordinary people who do not.
