The Jackdaw gasfield, net zero and climate adaptation | Letters (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Readers respond to an article in which the prime minister said the government's gasfield approval was part of its commitment to a greener futureAndy Burnham writes that his determination to tackle the climate crisis is “unwavering” and that the transition must not leave communities behind (We will make the net-zero transition work for Britain – approving the Jackdaw gasfield is part of the plan, 22 October).
