Is the UK Sacrificing Its Own Economy for a Futile Climate Crusade?

"The UK should not harm itself in a ineffectual attempt to lead the world, especially when the world is not following."

Is the UK government’s energy policy out of touch with global realities?

In my latest piece, I explore:

The disconnect between the UK's decarbonisation efforts and the growing global demand for hydrocarbons.

How the UK’s stringent policies might have limited impact on global carbon emissions.

The overlooked environmental devastation from nearly 110 ongoing armed conflicts worldwide—dwarfing the UK's emission reductions.

The economic risks of rapid decarbonisation without viable alternatives, leading to higher energy bills and increased dependency on unstable regions.

Is the UK’s approach self-sabotaging?
