Mr. Jim Clarken:

That is great. I thought the Chair was going to send us out. We are happy to be here. This has been really informative and insightful. I am conscious this is a new committee. We are all available on an ongoing basis to probe into any of these things, or other issues that emerge, in much more detail. It is a great opportunity for us. We are very grateful.

Something struck me following Ms Balfe's comment about the atmospheric commons. I was in Zambia just before Christmas, where I met with a local minister. I had just seen Victoria Falls. I saw how dry it was and how little water is flowing through the Zambezi. The minister told me that Zambia is a country that had a development trajectory based on a sustainable energy model. It was using hydropower as one of its key drivers of energy and its sustainable future but, because of climate change, the rivers are not flowing. That country is now digging for coal when it intentionally and purposefully did not. It had kept that carbon in the ground, as we say, and now it is being forced to do this. That is just one manifestation of that huge inequality and the huge issue that has been created, which is manifesting elsewhere, despite the best efforts of countries that already have very low carbon emissions to do better.
