However one point that was missed (deliberately?) was that ICE cars can continue to be used after 2030.
They were implying petrol cars stop then. And theres a cliff edge where everyone needs to drive electric. But the 2030 deadline only implies to buying new cars not use of existing.
There's also a 2035 deadline for sale of new hybrids.
So you can buy a hybrid in 2034 and it'll last say 10 years. You're looking at an actual deadline of 2044 by my reckoning.
In addition what wasn't mentioned was the uk contribution to global warming is less than 1%. And the EU has a pledge of 2040 for sale of new electric cars.
And rest of the world ie the big polluters have no pledge! US, China, India, Russia, quite an omission!! Don't you think. Guess to be expected but bbc supposed to be independent and would expect these to be mentioned in passing!
