So the UK currently produces 64% of the food it uses according to The Grocer . Given that shipping from Europe and the wider world will stop by 2049 the Channel Tunnel is going to be very, very, very busy.

In 8 years beef and lamb consumption will be reduced by 50%? Don't these people realise that only lamb grows on the many hills and dales of England, Scotland and Wales? You can plant crops there but they won't grow!

All energy to be "non emitting" by 2050 even as electricity consumption increases. "Aye, right" as a Scottish pal would say I'm assuming that they will be supporting the building of numerous nuclear power stations as the alternative would be to cover the food producing fields with PV panels and wind turbines.

Thankfully I will probably be dead by the time 2050 comes around.
