Re: [MBZ] Britain commits to suicide

 I overshot, its probably only a 30% drop from 2016 when the referendum took 
place. Apparently its rising against the euro. Actually worse against the USD...

[MBZ] Britain commits to suicide

Already overrun by third world EU "immigrant" invaders in London and 
surrounds, Great Britain commits to suicide.

EMISSIONSU.K. bans new gas vehicles by 2035 to boost climate 
effortPublished:

Wednesday, February 5, 2020

Britain announced yesterday that it plans to ban the sale of new gas and
diesel cars by 2035 — five years earlier than its previous target — in a
bid to speed up efforts to tackle climate change.

The announcement was timed to coincide with the launch of Britain's plans
for the United Nations' climate summit, known as the Conference of the
Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 26), which
is scheduled to be held in Glasgow in November.

But the U.K. government's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions
was questioned by the woman who was appointed by Prime Minister Boris
Johnson to head the Glasgow climate summit — and then was fired last week.

Sacked conference President Claire O'Neill said Britain's efforts to fight
climate change were "miles off track."

Britain has pledged to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by
2050. But the government's advisory Committee on Climate Change has warned
that the country's action to slash carbon dioxide and other gases that
contribute to global warming is lagging far behind what is needed.

The U.K.'s new 2035 target for ending gas and diesel car sales is one of
the world's more ambitious. Several countries, including France, plan to
stop by 2040. Norway — one of the most aggressive early adopters of
electric cars — has a goal, but not a requirement, to eliminate petrol and
diesel cars, excluding hybrids, by 2025.

The U.K. says it will bring in a ban on fossil fuel cars and vans even
earlier than 2035 "if a faster transition is feasible." The ban will also
include hybrid vehicles.

But environmental groups said Britain's goal is not ambitious enough.

Rebecca Newsom, head of politics at Greenpeace U.K., said "phasing out the
internal combustion engine faster is an important piece of the puzzle."

"However, pushing the date later than 2030 would vastly reduce the chances
of meeting our climate targets, and the potential to deliver thousands of
electric vehicle manufacturing jobs," she said.

The auto industry reacted coolly to the announcement. Mike Hawes, chief
executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said the
automakers were already moving toward "a zero emissions future," and said
the government had "moved the goalposts for consumers and industry."

Johnson kicked off a year of buildup to the climate conference yesterday
alongside naturalist David Attenborough and Italian Prime Minister 
Giuseppe

Conte at London's Science Museum. Italy is hosting a preparatory meeting
for the conference.

The British prime minister said the world had seen "a catastrophic period
of global addiction to hydrocarbons that got totally out of control."

"We have to deal with our CO2 emissions. And that is why the U.K. is
calling for us to get to net zero as soon as possible, for every 
country to
announce credible targets to get there — that's what we want from 
Glasgow,"

Johnson said. "And that's why we have pledged here in the U.K. to deliver
net zero by 2050."

Britain's tenure at the helm of COP 26 is getting off to a rocky start. On
Friday, Johnson sacked O'Neill, a former British government minister
appointed last year to head up the event.

The Conservative government said it had decided that a current government
minister should fill the role but gave no reason for the change of 
heart. A

replacement has not been announced.

O'Neill strongly criticized the prime minister in a letter published
yesterday in the *Financial Times*.

"When you asked me to be your COP President ... you promised to 'lead from
the front' and asked me what was needed: 'money, people, just tell us!'"
she wrote. "Sadly, these promises and offers are not close to being met."

The prime minister's spokesman, James Slack, declined to respond to
O'Neill's criticisms. *— Jill Lawless, Associated Press*
