Stark, statement indeed pin points Sunak's decisions have set the nation back in its fight against climate change, risking its global standing and leaving it trailing behind other countries.

He underscored the crucial need for bold and immediate action across multiple sectors to meet the imperative goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. According to Chris, the UK's success in decarbonizing electricity generation, notably through the closure of coal-fired power plants, is commendable but insufficient.
