What Mr. O'Sullivan has seen, and he acknowledged it, is that we are hurtling towards an overheating of the planet. He accepts the science on climate change. He has acknowledged it and he knows it is the case. Why would he not support a Bill to leave fossil fuels in the ground? It is simple. We will not have to rely on other supplies of gas until 2050. We have Corrib and, at the same time, we are importing gas. That gas has already been extracted from the earth.
