"Rishi Sunak's Controversial Moves to Weaken UK's Green Policies"

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak is considering weakening key green policies, including delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing out gas boilers, according to multiple sources. Sunak is expected to outline these changes in a speech, arguing that the UK has over-delivered on climate change and that other countries need to do more. The proposed policy shifts also include no new energy efficiency regulations on homes, a delay in the ban on off-grid oil boilers, and ruling out measures to discourage flying, change diets, or encourage carpooling. Critics argue that diluting green policies would harm the economy and hinder future growth, while supporters see it as a pragmatic approach.
