Cutting oil and gas production would be \u201cdangerous and irresponsible\u201d, the boss of energy giant Shell has told the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Wael Sawan insisted that the world still \u201cdesperately needs oil and gas\u201d as moves to renewable energy were not happening fast enough to replace it.He warned increased demand from China and a cold winter in Europe could push energy prices and bills higher again.Mr. Sawan angered climate scientists who said Shell\u2019s plan to continue current oil production until 2030 was wrong.Professor Emily Shuckburgh, a climate scientist at the University of Cambridge, said firms such as Shell should focus on accelerating the green transition \u201crather than trying to suggest the most vulnerable in society are in any way best served by prolonging our use of oil and gas\u201d.Head of the UN Ant\u00f3nio Guterres recently said investment in new oil and gas production was \u201ceconomic and moral madness\u201d.Mr Sawan told the BBC: \u201cI respectfully disagree.\u201d He added: \u201cWhat would be dangerous and irresponsible is cutting oil and gas production so that the cost of living, as we saw last year, starts to shoot up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
