The government has finally published its plans for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
They include grants of up to five thousand pounds for households to replace boilers with energy efficient heat pumps and subsidies for electric cars.
It’s claimed over 400,000 jobs will be created in the process but critics have warned the plans don’t go far enough

E scooters leggalised now would be a start tbh

Its just not good enough. 10 years to build a nuclear reactor. The science says we need NET ZERO by 2030. The UK going net zero will just make a dent in the climate crisis
This clown 🤡 is not capable to solve the basic problems in the UK after Brexit and he is talking about the UK as a leader in green technology. What a moron.
Translation – You can go green if you want to – And here is a new scheme that ten people with one leg and a missing eye qualify for assistance to do it.
Good old Boris he can lie for Britain and many idiots around the world believe him.
Boris is desperate to get the news away from the brexit disasters so he comes up with any scheme to do this just govern for the now because people are hurting
Johnson in front of his crowd rich donors.
Build new catlrbon neutral council estates
Boris Johnson is a 🤡🤡🤡 and totally out of his depth as PM
Johnson is taking us back in time…it won't be long before we are dobbing our caps.
More pie in the sky bye and bye.
But is Kermit the frog on board with it?
I trust Boris
The "Green Revolution" as you call it, is going to be a complete disaster. Oil, gas and coal prices are going to rocket even higher, because of this fake climate change nonsense.
Not enough, not fast enough.
And lowering environmental standards for Australia trade deal …
If "Business" is happy you can be sure the environment is suffering.
Billionaires and huge MultiNationals aren't interested in the Environment! Its all about profits!!
The Climate Change Agenda is Faux Environmentalism.
But but but Pak Bojo, what about UK poverty due to Brexit????
5000 for a pump that costs near to 20,000 to have…….thats not helping
But but but , he said “F….k” businesses, didn’t he?
The future is called EU
When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country
Why listen to these gas bags bullshiting about the climate they are fcking responceable its another hike in taxes
The electric bill goes up by how much?
People do know that "heat pumps" are very inefficient, don't they? #climatechangeisascam
£620 Million + £620 Million + £140 Million + £120 Million = £1.5 Billion. That might sound a lot, but it's chicken feed, in terms of government spending. Compare this to the Tens of Billions of pounds the government spaffed up the wall on procurement of PPE – as a means to put vast sums of public funds into the hands of their friends – donors to the Conservative Party. The same is true of Test and Trace – £37 Billion which went to Deloitte (an accountancy firm) SERCO, etc. – instead of giving Test and Test to the NHS and universities to sort out. Why? Corruption, again, as with the PPE scandal. The government are just paying lip service to environmental matters. If they were a responsible government which was not corrupt, they would have used the money given to private individuals and companies who were already rich , to help with the environment.
Heat pumps cost a FORTUNE to run..!!
Of course he chose to quote non other than Gordon Gekko, of course.

Channel 4 news, reporting from the 1970s on the ‘environmental issue’
with fake neutrality – ‘on one hand this plan looks serious and ambitious,
but some say a couple of hundred million and some photo-ops could be insufficient
to meet the challenges we face’
Channel 4 reporters know what the real situation is – they are clever and fully informed
so why are you telling us this government-brand-safe, equivocal milktoast
instead of the truth about where the science is and what needs to be done ?
why are you helping Johnson’s PR game, knowing the price that the young will pay ?
Deny a heat pump, get a back boiler and a fire & go and collect wood. Free fuel for a little effort.
The developed countries polluted thousands times more ahead the developing countries. The fair calculation should includes the total amount has been emitted since industrial revolution then figure out how much each country should be allowed to emit PER CAPTIA.
It is like a country has produced 10 million guns, then ask the rest we should all only produce 10 guns each year so no one can battle with me!
The Great Reset stinks
Can everyone please sign the NET ZERO REFERENDUM 2050 YOUGOV petition to stop this stupid nonsense because MP's live on another planet when it comes to money jo public have to live off.
Just Google 'net zero referendum 2050' and it'll pop up… it's up to around 23k at the moment…

I'm perplexed as to why the UK, a country that omits about 1% of the world's co2, is under this amount of pressure to reach net zero. I'm getting very suspicious that there is another motive behind this. Meanwhile China who contribute about 35% are left largely alone by both our political leaders and the pressure groups.
Im completely behind cleaning the planet up it needs it but every decision these moronic idiots make does more damage stupid ideas from stupid people thorium is a start admit you were wrong and sort the problems please 🙏
What is net zero? Its absolute BS that's what it is. They say co2 causes climate change. Ok let's look at the science.
The specific gravity of co2 is 1.592. Which means being heavier than air. How can any scientist explain that a heavier than air gas somehow gets into the atmosphere? IT CAN'T !
Co2 can only fall downward. Its subject to the same laws of gravity and yet the sheeple are still convinced that what the government and mainstream science tells them is true.
Wake up world 🙂 they are all liars.
Getting to Net Zero by 2050 would cost $9.2 trillion a year globally (McKinsey). That's not going to be good value for money. That's nearly one-tenth of global GDP. That money would be better spent on a myriad of things including educating the fifth of humanity who are illiterate and represent a 7% annual loss to the world's economy. Any country that attempts it will be indebted or impoverished.
Example: For the UK to reach net zero by electrification of its transport fleet and heating system, it will require a tripling (as a minimum) of its current electrical generation capacity among other things. This will essentially require the UK consuming all of the current global supply of copper and other rare metals for the next 25 years. The cost will be unaffordable and the skilled manpower levels unattainable. And that is just to eliminate the 1% of the global CO2 emissions that the UK is responsible for. So times that by 100 for the Earth. 10,000 child slaves in the cobalt mines of the Congo not enough for you? Make it a million. Imagine all the human suffering and environmental damage done from all that resource extraction!
An electric vehicle requires 6 times the mineral input compared to a conventional one, and the carbon cost is greater until you reach 80,000 miles.
Production of all of these minerals has been mastered by China: a totalitarian communist regime that thinks nothing of the mass murder of its own citizens, imagine how much it cares about the rest of us.
And why are we embarking on this great net zero crusade? For what? So someone can virtue signal by driving around in a Tesla.
Maddeningly, there is no climate crisis. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past.
the so called green revolution is enough to take us back to the dark ages, so no thanks!
