BBC var innom problemstillingen i 2021, i programmet The Climate Question: When will nations stop. exploring for oil?
Da tok de for seg Guyana og Norge, i forhold til tilgjengelig karbonbudsjett dersom vi skal unngå ekstrem oppvarming (som om den ikke allerede er ekstrem nok).
Hvem bør få utvinne resterende mengde olje og gass, innenfor dette karbonbudsjettet? Rike Norge? Eller fattige Guyana?
(Og vi vet naturligvis at alt som er av tilgjengelige hydrokarboner kommer til å bli hentet opp og brent, men det er en annen sak).
Her er en veldig interessant diskusjon.

If we are to ensure that there’s no more than a 1.5 degrees centigrade increase in global warming, the International Energy Agency recently stated that oil exploration must stop. A few countries have heeded that warning but the vast majority have not. The Climate Question hears from two nations – one already rich from oil, the other poor and yet to benefit from recent oil finds – about why they are continuing to explore. But, even for those who are following the IEA’s advice, will stopping be straightforward or might hurdles still lie in wait?
