The Conservatives have announced a carbon emissions goal, 30% drop by 2030. It’s not enough to hold climate change to a reasonable level, but it’s a start. It’s also nigh-impossible.
I think this is a good sign. Not for the climate, no. But at least it’s a good sign for the election. What longer political tradition is there than announcing a big project, not making any headway, and leaving it for your political opponents to take the heat for cancelling it? I think this is a sign that the Conservatives are expecting to lose.
But the climate will be no better off here.
