Benny Peiser: Putin's Climate War
Manage episode 327005939 series 2432611
Benny Peiser has been following the climate policy debate for more than a century. In this Watercooler Conversation, he joins Nick Cater to discuss how the Russian invasion of Ukraine has exposed Europe’s chronic energy insecurity and reframed the climate policy debate.
Europe is dealing with a full-blown energy crisis, forcing western nations to rethink what practical action can be taken to combat climate change.
The problems with relying too heavily on wind and solar have become all too apparent. Domestic electricity bills in Britain are rising by 50 per cent a year. And German industry is warning it cannot survive projected high energy prices and threats to the stability of supply.
As European nations look for ways to replace their heavy reliance on Russian gas, oil and coal, the spotlight is thrown on Australia, one of the most energy rich countries in the world.
Should we not be looking urgently at how we can increase our production of coal, gas and other energy sources to help the West resist Russian tyranny?
Benny Peiser is director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation in London.
Nick Cater is Executive Director of the Menzies Research Centre
