Britain Fights Global Warming

Britain abolished slavery about thirty years before the U.S. Hopefully, it will not take us as long to follow their good example on taking action against global warming.

Britain sets toughest carbon targets to beat climate change

Britain is to enact the toughest laws on carbon emission in the world to reduce its impact on global warming, the Government announced yesterday.

The UK will be the first country to impose legally binding five-year limits on carbon emissions as ministers aim to set an example to the world on how to beat climate change.

[...]The five-year limits are part of a rolling fifteen-year programme designed to achieve a statutory target of at least 26 per cent reduction of carbon by 2020 and 60 per cent by 2050, compared with 1990 levels.
