From the Greens' point of view, given that the International Energy Agency—I'm not sure if the members in the National and the ACT parties have ever heard of this agency, but it is the world's premier energy agency—came out in May 2021 saying point blank that Governments have to stop exploration for new gas, coal, and oil and new developments or extensions to gas, coal, and oil if we are to have any chance of meeting the commitments that all countries made to keep global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. In other words, the International Energy Agency is saying that from 2021 Governments should stop development and exploration for not just coal but also oil and gas, because it is not mathematically possible to have a stable climate and increase the supply of fossil fuel production.
