A mainstream UK politician in the running for party leader:
" ... legally binding carbon budgets would have to be done away with"
Oh my! How long have we waited for this statement of the obvious?
To be frank, it's never been clear who would be sent to jail when inevitably the legal targets are not met, so the whole business of legally enforceable targets always was a theatrical pantomime - but then parliament has been a pantomime for a long time now, and especially since the infamous Brexit referendum.
Welcome this straw of good sense whilst it lasts.
