Three quarters of U.K. adults say they think the government will not hit its goal of decarbonizing all sectors of the economy by 2050, according to a survey conducted by YouGov.

In fact, as Statista's Anna Fleck reports, out of more than 3,200 people, only 10 percent said they thought it was likely the UK would reach its targets.

The survey comes in the wake of the U.K.’s announcement of its new energy plan “Powering Up Britain”, by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.The survey comes in the wake of the UK’s announcement of its new energy plan “Powering Up Britain”, by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

In addition to the expansion of wind farms and renewable energy, the paper also says that the UK will continue to rely mostly on fossil fuels and that it will meet its net zero commitments through the growth of carbon capture technologies.

This solution has been heavily criticized by experts for not being an interchangeable option for renewable energy, especially since the technology is “yet to be proved at scale.”

When asked how well the government is handling the issue of climate change in comparison to other countries, YouGov found that more than half of UK respondents thought that the UK government was either doing the same or better than other nations, while one in five thought the UK was actively falling behind.

With the Muslims taking over, I don’t think they need to worry about it.

Sorry brits. If ‘wef’ and pals want to reach their goals, they would have no problem deleting 75% of the population in the UK to get there. When you want to reduce the population to 500 +/- million folkx world wide, ya gotta break a few embryos.

“Net zero” only applies to human beings, not atmospheric gases and other such things.

By “decarbonization” they just mean they want to turn legacy UK citizens into room-temperature carbon.

Too bad they don’t also think it’s all a big scam and absolutely nothing they or anybody else will do, will have any affect on the climate . . .

UK will become Venezuela, politically and economically, and so will the USA.

I recently watched (again) the Beatles 1969 rooftop concert video.

No ‘effing muzzies in the street level portions.
