Not many people know that
By Paul Homewood
Just a few final observations for CO2 budget:
transport
The goals for EVS are no surprise because they match the ZEV mandate and the ban on ice vehicles in 2030.
However, they have effectively excluded HGVs operated by hydrogen and set a target of 63% electrical HGVs on the street by 2040, although the technology does not exist to edit them.
There is also the usual nonsense when switching to public transport and go with a switch of 7% to 2035.
Heat pumps
The CCC wants annual installations to be reached in 2030 and 2035 1.5 m. This will inevitably mean a ban on gas boilers by 2035, but also raises the question of how people are forced to buy them in the meantime.
agriculture
CB7 requires a massive reduction in emissions of 39% compared to 2022 in the agricultural sector, and this will mean a large reduction in the number of cattle and sheep as well as planting forests on a good agricultural country.
However, reducing meat and milk production in Great Britain will inevitably lead to a replacement by imports, with a much higher CO2 footprint. The CCC therefore demands import controls and tariffs to evaluate them from the market.
The end result will be much higher food prices.
With regard to the numbers, you want us to eat 25% less meat until 2040, with a similar reduction in animal herds. The impact on British agriculture will be catastrophic and we have to ask ourselves again how all this will be enforced.
aviation
The CCC turned away from previous attacks on flying, in my opinion deliberately. Otherwise, Miliband's position in the cabinet would have been unsustainable, given the plans for new runways in Heathrow and Gatwick. This really proves that the CCC is not the independent body for which it can be.
Instead of reducing demands to reduce flights and frequent flyers, they demand emission cuts of only 17%by 2040, whereby the focus is on sustainable aviation fuel. The costs of seven -time kerosine price are passed on to the passengers, from which they hope they hope to reduce demand.
Passengers also have to pay the full costs for “technical distances” – basically direct aerial absorption, the mammothly expensive and unproven process of taking carbon dioxide from the air and storage – in order to cover the remaining emissions.
Hope for alternative fuels and direct aerial absorption is of course based on the development of technology, but the CCC has this threatening warning of what will come when it does not happen:
Translation – borders for flights.
Holidays abroad will be checked by the government in a few years together with a large part of our life.
