What Rishi Sunak’s net zero overhaul means for UK emissions
> The prime minister pushed back the ban on the sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035, relaxed targets to get households to switch away from fossil fuel boilers and ditched plans for tougher energy efficiency rules for landlords.
Justifying his move, Sunak said the #UK had cut its emissions faster than any G7 country since 1990... https://archive.fo/2023.09.23-090314/https://www.ft.com/content/8e05cf9f-9fed-4257-adbb-5df062e28af1 #RishiSunak #climatechange #fossilfuels

The climate catastrophe is showing it's horrifying reality in both parts of Iran and showing us what is the future we will see in more places all over the world.

In the piece, Sunak expressed his commitment to the Environment Act 2021, taking care of soil, and reforming farm payments. In addition, he stated intentions to increase the country’s domestic energy supply, reduce energy waste, and to increase offshore wind energy, rooftop solar energy, and nuclear energy (the latter of which is not actually renewable), adding that “offshore wind will not be built at the expense of marine protection.”

And open enough people's eyes to make the fundamental changes necessary to save Earth.

I also have hope that we can make necessary changes so our children & their children have a home on Earth.
