THE Westminster government must follow Scotland’s example in ending support for coal extraction, the Scottish Greens have said amid the ongoing Cop27 climate summit in Egypt.
Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater announced last month that the Scottish government was opposed to any new coal extraction.
The Westminster government in contrast is considering an application for a new coalmine in Cumbria in an upcoming decision which has been postponed more than once.
