In the midst of the continuing energy policy chaos that has characterised the UK's response to the climate crisis, glimmers of hope do sometimes appear.

There is no doubt the UK has greatly reduced its CO2 emission. Some of that is due to deliberate policy, but we also have to note that nature provided a huge boon in the form of North Sea natural gas, now being rapidly depleted, and that by offshoring our productive intensive industries - steel making for instance, manufacture, ship building etc, ie the nation's hollowing out of such - our CO2 emission are instead imported in the goods and items we purchase and import, and their associated emissions remain uncounted.
