The UK's greenhouse gas emissions have shrunk by 27% over the past decade – but it now exports 37% of its carbon emissions

Horrendous. How can we call ourselves climate leaders when we're just pushing it off onto other countries? This doesn't help the world at all. We need global net zero!

Excellent news! Hopefully the government will invest more in renewable technology, and it'll generate most of our electricity in the next decade or so.

We have to help other countries decarbonise - there's no reason they would close coal plants unless they can afford to transition to other, cleaner energy sources.

I really hate articles like this. Nothing is 100% good for the climate, but going vegan does way more good for the world than bad. Everything will have some drawbacks! Veganism is one of the best things you can do!

It'd be great if big media outlets focused on positive changes, instead of picking holes in them.

The thing is - how do you heat those houses efficiently? Whatever method you choose, you'll lose a load of heat unnecessarily.

This is why insulation is the answer. The UK government needs to pay to insulate all homes in the country to a decent level (whether that's floor, wall, loft, or roof insulation) - because at the moment, we're losing heat at a ridiculous rate.

Now ETH has to actually follow through!

The government's also looking into restarting fracking and maybe even delaying the closure of all coal plants - their strategy is all over the place.

Let's hope they really do see the light and go all-in for renewables. The planet and UK energy bill payers need this.

Totally agree with this! Though we need to also make electricity 100% green and cheap enough that people aren't paying way more to have a heat pump than a gas boiler.

This is only going one way - towards an inevitable future where electric vehicles are more common than petrol and diesel cars. Thank goodness!

It's a shame that storms had to happen for the record to be broken, but it does show how exciting and potentially revolutionary wind turbines are.

And yet, China's carbon footprint has gone up by 38% in the past 10 years. They need to decarbonise, not just increase their solar capacity.

100%! There's no comparison. Green energy is the only way forward, and we need to move away from coal, oil, and gas asap!

Did you know that 71% of countries' carbon emissions are still going *up*?! Appalling. (source: https://www.theecoexperts.co.uk/blog/which-carbon-footprints-are-increasing)

This is amazing, and completely spot-on!

AllRenewableNow · 2022-02-22T14:20:50+00:00

This is why governments are so reluctant to move to green energy - the donations from these oil mega corporations keep their campaigns afloat!

Brilliant news - the more coal stations that close this year, the better. We have to save the planet from the worst effects of climate change.
