There's palpable annoyance from the committee that their recommendations are often ignored.
The report says:"Last June, we advised that 25 headline policy actions were needed for the year ahead. Twelve months later, only one has been delivered by the government in full."Green space in parks and gardens cools cities and helps reduce flood risks. But as more homes are crammed into cities, green spaces have shrunk from 63% of urban area in 2001 to 55% in 2018.
The report says the government's planning should consider the risks that the world may warm by as much as 4C by 2100. The report says:"The need for action has rarely been clearer. Our message to government is simple: 'Now, do it.'"As new homes have been built green spaces have shrunk in urban areas over the past 20 years
BBCPolitics Perhaps they could start by blocking any more building on greenfield land and the countryside. I would include the HS2 route in that. Plant trees instead of installing concrete and tarmac.
… part of the solution would be is to impose a global planing permission portal
BBCPolitics Probably because they're too busy calling each other racists and islamophobes, and trying to overturn the will of the majority.
Quite amazing, the PM said GB is the leading country on climate change, compleat rubbish Germany doesn't need to legislate they have been doing recycling for over 30 years, so PM you I'm afraid are talking a load of shit.
Why is this news?
It’s a load of absolute crap life in the fast lane spewing out exhaust fumes is not going to make any difference only makes people cough a bit more has feck all to do with climate change and stop spending money trying to control something you cannot
Źzzzzzzzzzzz
Lie all species we are passing through, the dinosaurs lived for millions of years they got wiped out by a 'Natural disaster'... what make man think the same will not happen to him..? all this is nothing but money spinning propaganda. And money wasting .
F*** off, the UK is doing a hell of a lot more than the likes of Germany, the US, China, Russia and India.
BBCPolitics Think you meant India's, China's, African and South American governments are not acting fast enough. I'm tired of listening to this new CC religion crap every day. We've heard it, now piss off!
I blame fat people for eating too many cows..
But am awful lot faster than China, go complain there first or stop buying Chinese crud..
We need carbon neutrality by 2025, not 2050. At this rate we won't get it at all.
how do we stand on the world stage of climate change-remember we can't put right the planet on our own, we need everybody doing their thing.
The climate isn't under the control humans. It never has been, and never will be, changed or controlled by us.
We have gone far enough already. We are not the creators of global warming so let those that are, get their act together first. After all, the most potent 'Greenhouse' gas is water vapour. Who's doing what about that?
That’s because they know it’s not true
Total nonsense. Even if the UK had been carbon neutral 20 years ago, the world would still have continued its current decline. Its just a huge waste of time and money if the other 2/3 of the planet doesn't care. The government should concentrate on more actually attainable goals.
A scientists view of Global warming.
Yeah! why haven't you wiped China off the map yet?
😴
Does the committee chairman have any business activities connected to green energy ,climate change etc ? We in U.K. are doing more than many countries especially Germany !
The UK is only 1.4% of global CO2 emissions. We need to bug China, India and US if we to make any difference to climate change. It doesn't really matter what we do if they don't change.
Good. It’s all BS.
All just nature taking it's course. No story here!
UK govt is toooo busy with some other things, such as: poisoning Skripals, killing their animals so that no traceability can be established that the govt organised such poisoning, lying to the public & lots of other things the typical UK govt would do
We have a government!
Climate crisis*.
Rough sleeping and homelessness, lack of social housing and child poverty government not acting fast enough, and a far more urgent than climate change
Too late to act, the weatherpocolypse is already here. Quit protesting and work on saving yourself.
Climate change: UK justice league 'not acting fast enough'
Guess which country has made the biggest cuts in Europe these past 20 years. Yup the UK
The climate change deniers, seriously. 🙄
UK acts fast on a useless climate change hoax but Brexit never moves ahead
What’s the message in semaphore?
But they are quick on the draw with weapons sales...smh
So what happened to 'global warming'? Not earning the powers that be enough cash? had to make it sound more dramatic ? 'CLIMATE CHAOS' yup that'll do the trick! Wankers!
Hardly surprising is it.. we’ve been pissing about with Brexit for 3 years .. self serving parasites
It's not their fault! That Dun Simulator up there is the issue.. xxoo
Don’t you mean ‘not acting at all’ on climate change?
Biggest problem is not emissions but what you're eating. Take a long hard look in your fridge.
