UK: British voters largely pessimistic about hitting net zero targets
LONDON, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- A recent poll found out British voters are "largely pessimistic" about Britain's hopes of achieving net zero emissions, The Times reported on Saturday.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a series of relaxations of key climate policies this week, including delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035.
Many of Sunak's decisions are popular, but British people are skeptical about the reasons behind them, said the British newspaper.
