Your 22% figure is misleading. It makes it sound significant, but it's not. In reality, anything that people in the UK can do regarding domestic CO2 is insignificant to world CO2 emissions. They could be 100% carbon neutral and it wouldn't make a dent.
Instead of giving up on liberties and wasting money on tiny gains on CO2 savings, the UK should be using it towards developing technologies for the rest of the world to thrive on - without emitting so much CO2.
That's not what people want to hear though. They want to feel significant. They want to feel good about themselves because they're eating vegan or riding a bike to work, even though that contribution is utterly negligible.
