The united kingdom is the third biggest historic emitter, after the us and china. The u. K was the first nation to put a required reduction of greenhouse gas omissions into law. It is closing lots of coal fired power plants and promising to face them out completely by 20 35. And it is building some of the world's biggest offshore wind farms.

Just how quickly will Scots be willing to cut off the flow – of oil, and money? Part 8 of The Repair, our series on the climate emergency.
