I am certainly not blaming China or anyone else. New car sales in China are only about ten times those of UK, pretty insignificant in CO2 production terms if you are a volcano.
The example is to demonstrate the humbug surrounding the subject, how stupid UK/ EU governments are and how they distort things. Coal is another one. The idea of encouraging every Joe/ Jaq to buy diesel cars was barmy. Like EV's it is just another motor industry scam to try to get within unrealistic CO2 targets. Like stop/start - Honest John, last weekend, recommended that if the battery was getting flat you should drive more miles. Where is the energy saving/ environment benefit in that? Plus of course the new Range Rover EV which does over 100 mpg for 30 miles until it gets to do 17 mpg on its backup diesel (sorry, its a more environmentally friendly petrol) engine (It costs over £100,000 too).
And I thought, for a long while, we had given up on nuclear power as it was too environmentally unfriendly.
Someone is having a joke!
