UK climate chief could quit amid discord on target

LONDON: Britain’s climate minister has indicated he may abdicate as some Conser­vative leadership contenders waffle on the government’s net zero target, ahead of a crunch television debate and the final rounds of voting by MPs this week.

The intervention by COP26 chairman Alok Sharma came as a bean of Tory rank- and- train members, who’ll have the final say out of the two finalists, gave a surprise double- number lead to stranger Kemi Badenoch.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss was second, hardly ahead of former grassroots favourite Penny Mordaunt andex-finance minister Rishi Sunak, according to the unscientific bean by the ConservativeHome website.

Badenoch, a former inferior minister with no press experience, is running on an “anti-woke ”, right- sect platform and has said net zero quantities to “ unilateral profitable demilitarization ” by Britain.

“ Green impositions ”, backed by Sunak to help pay for the fairly elevated end of achieving net- zero carbon emigrations by 2050, have also been questioned by Truss and Mordaunt as Britons struggle with a cost- of- living extremity.

But with Britain facing record- breaking temperatures this week, Sharma told Sunday’s Observer review that the target was “ absolutely a leadership issue ”, as the campaigners wage an rancorous battle to succeed reproach- alloyed Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

“ Anyone aspiring to lead our country needs to demonstrate that they take this issue incredibly seriously, that they ’re willing to continue to lead and take up the mantle that Boris Johnson started off, ” the minister said. Asked if he could abdicate if campaigners showed weakness on net zero, Sharma said “ Let’s see, shall we? I suppose we need to see where the campaigners are.

And we need to see who actually ends up in Number 10( Downing Street Under Sharma’s chairmanship, nearly 200 countries pledged at a UN peak in Glasgow last Nove­mber to speed up the fight against rising temperatures, after two weeks of marathon accommodations.
