Germany has cut greenhouse gas emissions faster than the UK since the 2015 Paris agreement to limit global warming, further undermining the Sunak government’s claim to global climate leadership.
Richard Black, senior associate at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit think-tank in London, said: “Despite some impressive rhetoric, the last few UK administrations have allowed the UK’s lead in the G7 table to slip".
Well done Germany. And well done UK. And well done to all countries bringing down emissions and reducing reliance on dirty fuels.
Oh sorry, were we looking for some inflammatory rhetoric? Sorry sorry sorry. Errr… Fuck Boris’s Johnson?
The irony is these reduction are basically insignicant.
So yeah, well done for killing the planet a fraction slower than you would have otherwise done, UK.
As much as I agree with the need to cut emissions, the only way they’re going to get me to switch from my gas boiler any time soon is if they pay the full cost to convert it to a heat pump system. I’ll consider changing over when the boiler eventually packs up.
