On the BBC Parliament HD channel.
[The government has unveiled a
new net zero plan which has been
met with intense criticism from experts
and environmental groups.
The document was drawn up after the
High Court ruled the government's
existing plans were not sufficient to
meet its climate targets.
A central plank of the strategy is to store
CO2 under the North Sea.
But scientists say: even this plan will not move
the UK closer towards meeting
its legally-binding carbon commitments.
Ministers say it also aims to lower
people's energy bills, although this
will not be achieved in the short term.]
