Why Ed Miliband’s net zero dream is doomed to failure – Telegraph

Starmer wants Britain to be a ‘climate leader’, but the obstacles facing the Government’s ambitious plans seem increasingly insurmountable

Can the UK be a leader if nobody follows? And what kind of example are we setting? “Britain is the only major economy to have halved emissions [from 1990 levels], but we have to recognise that we are only responsible for one per cent of emissions and around the world emissions are soaring,” says Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary.

“Keir’s approach is to push our targets ever further without being honest about the costs to the British people. But if living standards fall and jobs move abroad as a result, we may be world-leading but no other country will want to follow our lead.”  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/16/ed-miliband-doomed-net-zero-dream-labour/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGlap9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHadI1yYkiV8FdA0J_QQiY1i5CR6kKovMp3OP1fAfMALJ6n98vMjWpifQCA_aem_GPZZqeAmHldAw0Ds6LO_Ig
