Rishi Sunak Rolls Back Multiple Environmental Policies in ‘Pragmatic’ Move That Leaves Climate Alarmists Fuming – British PM Worries About Financial Impact on Families
Ahead of general elections next year, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak decided to revise a host of policies aimed at achieving ‘net zero carbon emissions’ by 2050.
Sunak vowed to pursue a “pragmatic” approach to hitting the climate target. He also announced ‘an easing of energy efficiency targets’ for rental properties, and backtracked on nonsense plans to make homeowners replace gas boilers with heat pumps.
Al-Jazeera reported:
“’We can adopt a more pragmatic, proportionate and realistic approach to meeting net zero’, Sunak told a news conference on Wednesday, saying a ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars would be pushed back from 2030 to 2035.”
The decision comes amid widespread concern over the financial cost of the government’s ‘net zero’ goal.
