He’s not backtracking, just setting out an alternative way of getting there.
We are still ahead of everyone else, so what’s your point? Were you happy to be replacing your stuff earlier than you had to in order to meet these targets? If so, you must be rolling in it, and nice to see you’re all right, Jack.

All very well today, OB, what about tomorrow? Politicians are short termists. 27c this weekend, is that normal in October? It's coming sooner than we think, no ice left at the poles, the SE under water , economic and human carnage. The chances of doing anything about it are diminishing. Delaying because its politically convenient could be the tipping point. . How is that good for anyone's pocket?
Yes the Govt needs to help those that can't afford to change, and pressurise other countries. It's their job. The only thing they can think of is the next election.
