London Mayor Sadiq Khan's deputy, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, has come under fire for his stance on electric vehicles (EVs) and the UK's North Sea oil and gas reserves. Critics argue that Burnham's approach to addressing the climate crisis is inadequate, particularly in light of the UK's goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Burnham has been accused of prioritizing economic growth over environmental concerns, with some questioning his decision to support the development of EVs that rely on fossil fuels for production. The criticism comes as the UK faces increasing pressure to take bold action to reduce its carbon footprint and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change.
