STORYLINE:
Britain has recently lifted a ban on fracking for shale gas in England and confirmed support for a new oil and gas licensing round. The new energy exploitation policy to increase oil and gas production draws opposition from climate experts, Green groups and communities.
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): DR. AJAY GAMBHIR, Senior research fellow at Imperial College London
"(It) seems pretty misguided in the current climate emergency that we're in, given that fracking will result in the extraction of natural gas, which is a fossil fuel, and we're in a position where we really shouldn't be investing in new fossil fuel resources right now.
