Indeed, the government has forced this action by largely ignoring implementing any climate change strategies that will be effective in achieving their rhetoric.
That's pretty naive tbh... You might note we're currently having issues with UK wholesale gas prices right now for example. We're one of the biggest adopters of renewable energy* but unfortunately, wind power hasn't been performing too well recently. We've also dramatically reduced our reliance on coal, we're due to completely remove the need for coal by 2024.
We're going to have a complete ban here on the sale of petrol and diesel cars in less than 10 years' time.
What do you think Boris' main aim was in recent talks with Biden? He was trying to get the US to increase its contribution to a climate fund to help fund poorer countries cut emissions. The UK is literally hosting COP26 at the end of this month and Boris is hoping to have hit a target of 100 billion per year for this fund by then.
The UK is very much on track to hit its carbon targets and eventually reach net-zero,
These activists aren't principled people - the spokesperson on ITV's Good Morning Britain completely fluffed his entire interview, didn't prepare answers for obvious questions, got very angry, couldn't answer whether he'sThis is below the national average for England and Wales and means the properties will likely have little insulation insulated his own home even and stormed off in a huff:

But Smith has now been called a ‘hippy-crite’ after
The Sun claimed to reveal he is the
heir to several properties worth £2million and allegedly sits on a £1million portfolio himself.
According to the newspaper,
Smith’s firm in Oldham has at least six homes with E or F energy efficiency ratings.
This is
below the national average for England and Wales and means the properties will likely have little insulation.
So he's got a 7 figure property portfolio which he seemingly hasn't bothered to insulate but he's happy to hold up a load of working people because

The government hasn't forced this at all, these aren't serious people, they're just virtue signallers (or LARPers perhaps
) they'd be doing this for some green cause or other regardless of what the government had achieved in terms of climate targets. It's mostly a narcissistic thing so they can pose and post about it on social media and show what good caring people they are to their similarly naive peers etc..
