Let’s say every nation produced exactly the same amount of emissions. There are about 200 nations in the world, so the best any nation could hope to do by itself is reduce worldwide emissions by about half a percent. If every nation took the same view, no reductions would ever get made.
As its stands, the UK produces about 0.81 percent of emissions, so they’re still polluting more than their fair share.
The UK’S emissions are a drop in the ocean compared to various other nations, our marginal contribution is minuscule
Sure, but that’s a complete cop out.
