One heck of a comment here:
Let me explain something to you Mr. Booker (and the rest of you Brits), since we deal with the same people here in the states.
There is NO ‘insanity’ or ‘madness’ to these policies. These people implementing these policies know FULL WELL that they would bring your economy TO ITS KNEES with an 80% reduction in greenhouse gases. When you do the math, with that level of reduction, it will be difficult to have heating in the winter, and IMPOSSIBLE to also have lorrie transport or even factories operating at the same time.
The loss of electricity production is what transformed North Korea from a fairly modern, industrial country (albeit run by a Communist nutcase) into the starvation nightmare that it is now. NOTHING ELSE. The Soviet era ended, and the Russians stopped sending them crude to run their power plants - and the food supply dried up. It’s well documented.
As to motive - very simple. To bring your society down a few notches (just like they’re trying to do here). Ever since their protest-filled college days they have been FILLED WITH GUILT about the material success of the West versus the rest of the world and have ALWAYS wanted to do something about it. Now they’re older and have the levers of power. Like us, most of you people trust them because you cannot bring yourself to believe that they could be that bad - but as was stated in the article, other countries are JUMPING IN to produce the cheap, dirty, power, as we strangle ourselves. Have a look:

China now leads the US. China, India, and Russia now lead the EU and US, combined. In probably 5 years, China ALONE will lead both the US and EU combined. Those trend lines aren’t going to change, we are going to be left in the dust as those countries industrialize.
We are NO LONGER the kings of this planet. If anyone, it’s China, India and similar countries. Because of that we CANNOT save the world from evil carbon. But we can still kill ourselves trying, by having freezing cold winters, and like North Korea, probably starving, once the power plants are shut off.
So maybe it’s time to question the people you’ve trusted for the past couple of decades - for it’s hard to see how they are putting the interests of Brits first - and it’s also hard to see how they wouldn’t know the NIGHTMARE they are leading you to.
Starting to look like the west was suckered into suicide. The Soviet Union used their Programmed Communist agents here in the US to hamper and weaken our industrial output. While that is occurring the Russians and the East are not weakening or hampering their industrial output. Thus they have jumped way ahead of us in military capability. Right now the country of India with just 4 submarines can annihilate 60 % of all major US cities with just 4 subs and 15 minutes. And there is not a thing the US can do right now to stop that. And Russia and China have even greater capabilities.
