After years of pushing the Net Zero agenda at the expense of objectivity, the International Energy Agency has suddenly remembered what it's for. Fossil fuels are back, says Dr Tilak Doshi.
The West’s focus on Net Zero has been a "colossal failure" and "lunacy" that has lowered living standards, President Trump's Energy Secretary Chris Wright has said.
Tilak Doshi says Trump's "drill, baby, drill" energy policy may not be popular in Davos, but will be welcomed by leaders in the Global South, fed up with being lectured about carbon emissions by rich Western countries.
Chris Wright is a 'climate denier', screamed the headlines. Trump's Energy Secretary pick is certainly sceptical about the 'climate crisis', says Tilak Doshi. But that's because he wants to lift 7bn people out of poverty.
Net Zero is a "sinister goal", according to Trump's energy pick, who was also briefly silenced by LinkedIn for blasting climate policy in a viral video.
