The UK has outsourced it emission .. since it helps prop up property prices in London to not have industrial waste being dumped into the Thames.
Also the money from pollution in China/Russia/ME ends up leaking to buy up property in London because you know .. nobody wants to live near a coal mine.
The UK provides direct military support to the Kingdom of Brunei - one of the largest exporter of Petroleum.
The UK props up several petro states in ME if you haven't noticed and also sends its own men to die in case their ME cronies are threatened.
UK oil companies help loot the natural resources of Nigeria and then provide banking services to a small group of warloads to hide that wealth.
The UK is the big spider in the middle of the global web that connects oil, blood and money.
- Brakenshire 8y agoDo you think other developed countries do not import manufactured goods from China? Those countries have outsourced their emissions and still increased domestic emissions. UK domestic per capita emissions are half what they were in 1990, which is unprecedented. Other than altering the trade deals, which the UK does not have the power to do anyway, it’s difficult to see what else could be done.
