'Climate Cult' Hurts Europe's Economy, Us Energy Secretary Tells Afp
Wright criticized the IEA's climate policies for harming Europe's economy and defended US climate rollbacks, warning the US may withdraw without reform, during Paris meetings.
- At IEA ministerial meetings in Paris this week, Wright criticised the agency's climate focus, urging reform and threatening US withdrawal, AFP reported.
- Wright argued the IEA's climate emphasis has reduced economic opportunities and 'doesn't even move the needle', while scientists say reaching net zero by 2050 is necessary to limit warming to 1.5C.
- Wright told AFP, 'We will be a rock solid, reliable supplier of LNG to Europe,' and defended last week's Trump administration's climate-rule repeal.
- Amid tensions, Wright reassured Europe that the US remains a reliable partner while officials warned that `geopolitical turmoil in the wake of the crisis in Greenland has been a wake-up call.`
- The 31-member IEA was founded in 1974 to coordinate supply responses, but US pressure on IEA reform occurs as EU climate monitor reports record heat caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
