Committee says legally binding target is necessary, achievable and could spur global action

The UK government must immediately set a legally binding target to cut greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050, its official advisers have said, signalling an end to the nation’s role in driving climate change.

So then you have to switch to nuclear, as it is the only 0 carbon energy.

Could spur global action - except it won't. China etc. are growing so fast because they don't care about climate change and what we produce is nothing compared to those countries. That report reads more like prohibition through the back door than trying to save the earth.

Ludicrous to think that a country of 66 million people will have any impact on the climate whatsoever when China and India have over 2.3 billion and are building coal-fired powerplants like mad.

But at what economic cost? We first need a stable economy before we worry about any 'climate' issue.

The irony whilst the U.K. has signed up to Paris agreement to cut CO2, and pays into the Green fund.the biggest polluter in the world China is allowed to continue increasing its Emissions until 2030mand pays nothing to the green fund.

Shut down your office then. Dropbox has existed for a while. Literally no journos need an office.

Is it time the Bank of England had a woman governor?Anna Isaac: 'Mark Carney is the 120th in an unbroken line of white men to have been Governor of the Bank of England. Perhaps it’s about time to let a woman run the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street' Perhaps give the job on merit not ethnicity or gender How about that? Perhaps it is, but the economy has grown pretty well in that time despite having white men in charge no? Since when gender & ethnicity took priority over merit
