Britons will have to fly less, eat less meat and use public transport more often to hit Net Zero goals, the Government's main climate-change advisers have insisted.
The stipulations outlined to MPs today directly contradict promises by Sir Keir Starmer earlier this month that reducing greenhouse gas emissions would not involve people in Britain having to change their lifestyles.
New targets mean the UK's emissions should be cut to 81 per cent of 1990 levels by 2035.
New targets mean the UK's emissions should be cut to 81 per cent of 1990 levels by 2035.
Speaking at the Cop29 summit in Azerbaijan a fortnight ago, the Prime Minister said he would not be 'telling people how to live their lives' by reducing air travel or changing their diets.
But today leading members of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) spelled out that hitting the target would involve widespread 'behaviour change'.
Asked at the Commons environmental audit committee 'to what extent will individual behavioural change be needed', James Richardson, director of analysis at the CCC, said: 'In terms of the analysis we've done, about 10 per cent of emissions reduction to 2035 comes from what we would think of as behaviour change. That's predominantly around diets, flying and modal shifting [to] public transport.'

No fish & chips for you!
Aw shaddup you idiot.
NO matter how much the West deindustrializes and primitizes, China will just fill in the gap.
What a maroon. Think I’ll bbq some ribeyes this weekend just for Kier, because I care…
China is run by morons and idiots, like much of the West is.
They win by default.
Isn’t run (typo).
Fly less? Oh noes... how are we going to be in Balem, Brazil next year? It’s the COP-30 Meeting!
“No fish & chips for you!”
Actually, that’s all they’ll let them eat.
Shut up and eat your worms.
beans and toast
I don’t fly now so give me a triple helping of beef!
What’s for tea?
Idiot doesn’t even know how to make his own beans.

And India overtakes China in population soon, if not already. The Indians at least have the good sense to power their growing population’s energy needs with renewable wind and solar. Because only 6.7 years left for life on the Erf!
HAHAHAHA! Just kidding. COAL. Indians burn COAL. Lots and lots of COAL.
Now for a serious note. Sub-Saharan Africa are expected to make more than half of the global population increase projected through 2050. Their doubling rate is 27 years, and the African continent has the lowest median population age of the world. These precious HUMAN BEINGS, made in the Image of GOD, without energy to power their economy are doomed to poverty, deprivation, starvation, disease. And the inhuman bastards like Bill Gates and the WEF, greedy globalist filth that they are, demand — DEMAND!!! — that Africa scrap cheap efficient energy production (i.e. fossil fuel) and embrace the insane vanity of global warmism.
The operative word for what the globalists and climatistas intend to do to Africa is EVIL. Pure EVIL.
