Professor Elizabeth Bomberg says storms, heatwaves and droughts seen since the Glasgow conference are a reminder of the impact of climate change.

Professor Bomberg, who specialises in environmental politics at the University of Edinburgh, says while most countries have failed to increase their commitments since Glasgow there are notable exceptions.

As Russian gas supplies have been cut off, Professor Bomberg says governments have taken desperate measures to increase energy supplies which mainly involved increasing the use of fossil fuels.

Elizabeth Bomberg, an environmental politics professor at the University of Edinburgh, wondered whether being part of the United Kingdom actually made it easier for Scotland to offer that loss-and-damage money.

But Bomberg added that Sturgeon also seemed to be “seizing the opportunity to showcase Scotland as more progressive than the U.K. It’s part of SNP’s long-term strategy to force a wedge between Scotland and the U.K. government.”
