Britain can cut emissions ‘by four-fifths in 15 years’

BRITAIN should cut greenhouse gas emissions by nearly four-fifths by 2035, government climate advisers have said. 

The Committee on Climate Change said that sales of gas boilers should be halted by 2033 and new fossil-fuelled car sales – including hybrids – should end in 2032.

People should also be encouraged to cut the amount of meat and dairy in their diet by a fifth in the next decade, the committee claimed.
