For those unaware and to give an idea of leanings, the magazine used to be edited by Boris Johnson.
The tone of the article is very much “climate change is a problem but the U.K. is a tiny amount of it and it won’t be impacted by the U.K. magically cutting all emissions, the only influence the U.K. has is in showing emissions can be cut, and it’s doing a good job on that. It also mentions cuts to use of fertiliser and other non co2 issues
To be fair it’s a solid point.
- dan-robertson 3y agoTo be fair to Boris, he did push a reasonable amount on various green issues, set some long term policies, targets, etc, while he was pm.
- youngtaff 3y agoYeh, but reducing CO2 emissions generally also results in the reduction of other pollutants so it’s still worthwhile doing to get cleaner air Plus switching to non-fossil fuel energy sources reduces dependency on the Middle East autocracies
