The world's need for fossil fuels is 'desperate', Shell's chief executive told the BBC.
Cutting oil and gas production would be "dangerous and irresponsible", the boss of energy giant Shell has told the BBC.
Professor Emily Shuckburgh, a climate scientist at the University of Cambridge, said firms such as Shell should focus on accelerating the green transition "rather than trying to suggest the most vulnerable in society are in any way best served by prolonging our use of oil and gas". The Committee of Climate Change found household gas appliances were linked to respiratory problems and cardiovascular disease.
The UK currently imports more than half of its oil and gas - and that proportion is expected to rise without renewed investment in the North Sea. Shell recently decided to sell its stake in a major new undeveloped oil field at Cambo.
