The United Kingdom has become the first major economy to reduce its carbon emissions by 50% from 1990 levels, according to new official statistics. This milestone was achieved while simultaneously growing the UK economy by 80% and safeguarding family finances. Notably, 38% of this reduction occurred since 2010, under the Conservative government, which is two-thirds more than any other G20 country has managed. Three-quarters of the reduction has come since 2010. The reduction in emissions has been attributed to pragmatic policy approaches, such as the end of the 'boiler tax', and the implementation of successful green policies. Additionally, the USA saw no change in emissions between 1990 and 2021.
At the same time that Labour’s flagship green economic pledge has gone up in smoke, the UK becomes the first major economy to halve carbon emissions under the Conservatives. Pragmatic green capitalism and technology triumphs yet again over dogmatic virtue signalling socialism. https://t.co/02PaGGy0wS
