Baroness Worthington didn't need any science to write the CCA.

Having destroyed the UK's reliable power generation system, and Germany's, and France's and etc etc, she is now promoting nuclear power.

Macron and Merkel did not get the Green Blob Memo confirming that nuclear is ok, so Germany is buying coal, oil, and gas from Russian interests, and France is buying more tear gas grenades.

You would have thought that COP24 would be promoting nuclear power and Baroness Briony. Instead, the BBC relies on E3G and Camilla Bonn instead.

"Camilla is a Senior Policy Advisor in E3G’s Climate Diplomacy team based at our London office. E3G’s Climate Diplomacy programme focuses on how to construct high leverage political interventions which can shape transformational international outcomes."

I do wonder whether Macron thinks he can stop France from revolting with Climate Diplomacy. He could start by putting the Green Blob out on the streets, and locking their taxpayer funded office doors.

This seems relevant (h/t Paul Homewood):

"Britain now G7's biggest net importer of CO2 emissions per capita, says ONS
Fall in UK-produced emissions has been offset by those from increase in imported products"

"Britain has contributed to the global climate emergency by outsourcing its carbon emissions to developing nations, according to official figures, despite managing to weaken the domestic link between fossil fuels and economic growth.

The Office for National Statistics said the UK had become the biggest net importer of carbon dioxide emissions per capita in the G7 group of wealthy nations – outstripping the US and Japan – as a result of buying goods manufactured abroad.

The ONS warned that Britain had increased its net imports of CO2 emissions per capita from 1.7 tonnes in 1992 to 5.1 tonnes in 2007, offsetting domestic progress on shifting the UK economy away from fossil fuels.

According to the ONS study, China was the biggest single source of Britain’s imported emissions, as the UK ramped up purchases of goods such as mobile phones made in the Asian country, where labour costs are lower and pollution regulations less stringent. The second biggest contributor to imported emissions was the EU, followed by the US.

The ONS warned that environmental damage could not be stopped by nation’s simply relocating the production of goods from advanced to developing nations.

Amina Syed, senior economist at the ONS, said: “While directly produced UK emissions have been falling for many years, once you take account of the UK importing products from abroad, the picture doesn’t look quite so positive...."
