British PM Sunak waters down some climate goals

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is preparing to water down some of Britain’s environmental commitments. Sunak says the country must fight climate change without penalizing workers and consumers. He adds he’ll set out a “proportionate” approach to the environment in a speech this week. The BBC has reported that Sunak is considering extending deadlines for bans on new gasoline and diesel cars along with new natural-gas home heating.
