Britain is only 1% of CO2 emissions. China is the biggest polluter with 29% and the US is the second with 20%. For some reason extinction rebellion seems to think that closing our highly regulated and low polluting industry and transport which has the effect of these industries and transport being done at high polluting countries with increased transport pollution to ship the goods to us, is a good thing. So the reporter has done some work but extinction rebellion on the other hand has done none and they just want to upset Joe public going about their business (including urgent health care), because they are mostly middle class slackers and we (The majority, not well off working class) hate their guts!?!

We don't want to use France as a role model!?!

Reject politicians who want to bring in technology that's not cheaper than the one you are using (Assuming that it's in a reasonable supply and economical)!?!

He had a load of things right, China is the biggest polluter 29%, US second 20% UK 1%. Extinction Rebellion are better off campaigning in China as they will save the planet if reforms are made but they will more than likely end up in prison for a long time, like they should here really. EV is expensive, Heat Pumps Solar and battery (and for older houses increased insulation as well is extremely expensive) and can be cold in winter if the house does not achieve the highest insulation rating. The UK will be majorly energy independent by renewables from 2030 for generating electricity by new nuclear and wind, changing gas boilers is far more problematic as it's too expensive, £2,000 gas boiler replacement to £16,000 air source heat pump, and you have to have a hot water cylinder put back! Solar and batteries another £15,000, Changing to electric vehicles is also problematic as charging is a muddled problem as nobody is taking control and EV's are way too expensive, ask the embattled Mayor of London!?!

@fly89 I don't deny that because it is true, what is also true is that China pollutes more with less amenity resources, for example 1,400,000 million Chinese people divided by 70,000 million UK people = 20 times more people than the UK 20x1% = 20% China pollutes 29% an increase of 45% per person based on population, by 2030 our Net carbon will most probably reduce to 0.5 and close enough to 0% by 2050, China's at this time will likely be 35% to 40% as coal power the biggest polluter is increasing drastically and oil and gas will be higher priced so they will reduce consumption on that!?!

That's like saying there is carbon in a furnace so why is it dangerous, because it's burning, and that burning emits CO2 gases which rise into the atmosphere and reflect the sun's rays in a way to warm up the planet, that is the problem, animals emit Methane which has the same effect but this goes away after 40 odd years, carbon stays there for hundreds, that why carbon capture from the atmosphere is being touted as a solution!?!
