Guardian News 
The prime minister said the UK was still on course to hit net zero targets despite announcements on Wednesday that he was rolling back key policies. Rishi Sunak said the UK was adopting a more ‘proportionate and pragmatic way’ to reach its climate goals, and that he was ‘absolutely confident that we are on track to hit all our international and domestic targets’.

Standing next to sheep
So all your numbers were wrong in 2016 but they are right now 2030 will here same again
I love it how we have an unelected PM, whose ancestors blood wasn't spilt on this land defending it, running our Country. Get him out!
just another tory lie by just another tory liar.. tory comes from tha gaelic word for theif and liar
Net zero is a fantasy
He's not backing out of anything he's just trying to improve his chances, after the election everything will be back on and probably worse
Lies lies lies – what has the world to do with the UK –
Whether Britain does or does not hit these utterly false "targets" doesn't matter a hoot. We can destroy our economy, destroy our lives, go back to living on caves and eat grass, and the world's emissions of greenhouse gases will drop by less than 1%. Meanwhile China is building coal-fired power stations as hard as she is able.
Fancy interrupting the PM when he is in a Cabinet meeting.
A Snake in the Grass he is .. just like the Guardian.
Can we just elect a Poor sensible person next time.
You and your wealth are targets. Get taxed into oblivion or give up your car, gas boiler and so on.
Glad to see the rulers telling the citizens what they spend their money on. Hail sunak
Climate targets is another way of saying socialism without consent.
You will fail
Maintain consent? Hang on, don’t remember ever giving it sonny
No one wants to hit this net zero its a government and elites plan not the peoples…
I think electric cars should not be normalised. They catch fire + expensive
We don't care. Reverse these silly laws and put pressure on China and India,who are damaging the environment on our behalf and more than the UK ever could.
Even more reason to bin the ULEZ zone if we’re over achieving.
We are scamed by power companies in the biggest forgery of all time. And he is responsible! All climate nonsense will make this country collapse.
lol Net Zero is MAd hat idea in the first place let alone socialist.. and you can tell we are approaching an election to Tory’s start pretending that they are actually going to be Conservative. Personally I think it’s hot air and he likes his opsit are lying
to get votes 
. And they wonder why people have not fafe in politics and the media and political class.
How about doing what the overwhelming majority of British Public really want and just scrapping Net Zero completely?
That's if the Tories want the vaguest chance of staying in power.
I dont believe anything this man says anymore!!
Scrap this Net Zero nonsense or be politically DOOMED!!!
Stop the boats
sort out imigration and the cost of living crisis rishi 1st instead of trying to get a green tax going
self elected earn your pay this time last yr you allowed fuel to rise forcing food up drop vat help the ppl instead of grabbing more tax from the fuel rise and stop blaming the retailers it 70% tax on every pound spent on fuel the higher the cost the more tax you get
Pantomime to give the impression of choice whisky the inevitable wef agenda is rolled out and all freedoms are dismantled
We don’t want it
If you adopt what he says say Baaaaa
When it comes to the overall amount of CO2 being belched into the atmosphere by the UK, not only is this a drop in the bucket but also an international irrelevance. What the U K can actually do to mitigate the erosion of our planetary health is to pour money into developing alternative sources of energy. That could also create jobs in the manufacturing sector and once again be leaders in the an industrial fossil free revolution. Funding the future could be our saviour as opposed to the present stagnation and irrelevance in the world. So Mr. Sunak and other Tories. Do you want to be known for as the guys who sat on the fence while the planet burned, or do you want to significantly do what the UK has historically contributed to the health and wealth of the world.?? It's your Call folks.
BS! Even the sheep can smell it, looking around for the bull in fear, deceived.
Gandhi has been racial abuse by vanilla face in London now Gandhi son’s leader of uk yes Gandhi your dreams come true
This corrupt man is making millions at of this scam
No one cares about climate goals, sort the cost of living crisis first!
Well he’s deffinatly pulling the wool over our eyes
True net zero means we all starve to death. If we don’t freeze to death first.
Cleverly shot in front of the most ecological and inhumane industry the world has ever seen.
Here is proof that Net Zero would have a net zero effect on the climate: It is true that CO2 levels have been rising steadily since 1960. See the graphs from the Mauna Loa Observatory. But human CO2 emissions have been reduced considerably during this period, and were reduced dramatically during the Covid lockdowns. As you can see from the graphs, these reductions had absolutely no effect on the rising CO2 levels. This indicates that anthropological CO2 is not the cause of the rising CO2 levels, and reducing CO2 emissions (Net Zero) will also have absolutely no effect!
Because we have already delayed doing anything for 30+ years what does another 5 matter. By destroying our own heavy industry sector we have cut our own territorial co2 emmisions and we off shore our emissions instead so it's another countries problem now. This is hopefully obvious sarcasm
If rishi wins this election I'm leaving the country
In a word…… Fleeced again
