UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written an op-ed piece in The Sun promising “I will not sacrifice Great British industry to the drum-banging, finger-wagging Net Zero extremists”
Which means he’s willing to sacrifice all the industry to appease the fossil fuels industry.
Yes, but countries are starting to implement carbon taxes on trade with each other. So countries that don’t reduce would be tarriffed higher, to counteract this problem.
It is also why most agreements are multinational with targets to be met.
