🚨BREAKING: The Met Office has announced the UK experienced its HOTTEST summer on record this year. How many more records need to be BROKEN before we ditch fossil fuels?

Its other countries you need to tell.

Unless you literally just mean the USA, who yes, are worse than us.

Not just the USA.

Germany is an outlier in Europe so they could be doing better, but there is historical reason for that

And based on current plans, we will drop down the ranking even further

We are about average for Europe and the world currently, which is terrible given our headstart. We are not the worst, but given the technology we have, the access to wind and tidal force, the headstart in nuclear, we should be a world leader.

Ok I'll do the hard work. The only MEDC countries worse than us on CO2 per capita are a few middle eastern countries, Canada, the USA, Russia, China (though predicted to be better than us within 3 years) and some of smaller island nations.

The only way you are remotely correct is if you mean, 'we should be helping ledc's develop past fossil fuels by giving them technology to skip that part of their industrial revolution'. Otherwise all you are saying is other countries are not allowed to do as we did in the past.

No, it's not. You know, china installed more solar capacity than the US produces electricity... Stop blaming others for the mess we caused. And if you try to blame countries currently experiencing their own industrial revolution, I have bad news about our history...

I know, but I was making the point it's a lot. Wouldn't mean much to compare Chinas energy grid to the UK

The UK is well on the way to ditching fossil fuels. You need to ask this question of Norway, Germany, USA, Russia & China.

we have missed our opportunity - now we must adjust to the changes that are happening

As many as is necessary for people to realize that nuclear is safe and emissions free and that natural gas emitts 40%-60% less than coal. When people realize that we can actually start to reduce emissions.

3 primary reasons why natural energy sources will take a straight up war in order to succeed: 1. Oil is a multi trillion dollar empire that has global dominance. 2. Oil and timber are also multitrillion dollar established empires. 3. Chernobyl fear campaign is why nuclear hasnt been persued.

1 and 2. The Oil companies will happily sell us nuclear power too. That isn't a problem. The fear campaign is real. Chornobyl, Three Mile Island, that 3 eyed fish from the Simpsons, the fear is real.

The real facts, however, from Fukushima, the nr3 and nr4 reactors, from the 70s were perfectly fine and shut down automatically with no issues. Since then we have added almost 60 years of technological advances and experience. Remember every day coal kills more than Chornobyl did in total.

Right now nimbyism is keeping the decades out of date reactors running and preventing the installation of the safest and most efficient modern reactors. It's sad, but this is what Greenpeace and the 'religion' of environmentalism is doing to us.

Musk being a dick doesn't make EVs bad. Sure trains are better, but EVs are still better than petrol cars

From renewables and maybe some nuclear, if we do it right. There are mad fuckers promoting fossil fuels in some backwaters of the world but sane people aren’t fooled

Home owners & business property insurance premiums are through the roof. Tell your insurer to stop playing along with fossil fuel companies. Extreme weather isn’t stopping by itself.

The way things are going we'll probably ditch The Met Office first
