We are suffering from the destruction of the coal infrastructure been destroyed long before we had a safe sustainable alternative,the planet does not need saving and its had to deal with a lot worse than mankind in its existance,it has the time to do so,we dont.
Britain is 1% of the world emmissions so the rest are 99% one would assume,if you walk into a room where 99 people smoke and you dont are you going to get out alive,i doubt it.
until we all do something about it we are on a road to no where.We all want to live in the future but we need to invent it first and have it in place before we decimate what works.
