UK PM Sunak to reconsider climate goals and delay petrol car ban

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to announce a delay in some of the government's policies to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, stating that the response to climate change should be more "proportionate." Sunak's decision to scale back on green policies is seen as an attempt to win over swing voters ahead of the upcoming general election. The UK is considering pushing back the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars until 2035, five years later than planned. Sunak criticized previous governments for not being honest about the costs and trade-offs of going green, and his speech this week will address the long-term decision needed for the country's climate plans.
