The report for the Department for Transport is based on a survey module included in the Office for National Statistics’ Opinions (Omnibus) survey which has been carried out each August since 2006. It found that 65% of respondents spontaneously selected emissions from road transport as a cause of climate change.

At the same time, the EU has proposed new regulations on battery technologies that aim to also make the industry more sustainable and less polluting. That’s reminiscent of the familiar loophole with decarbonization and anti-pollution regulations: companies might simply outsource rather than address the problems the rules seek to tackle.

Under Assembly Bill 32 passed in 2006, California must reduce its emissions to 1990 levels (431 million metric tons) by 2020. The state’s latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory shows that California emitted 429 million metric tons of climate pollutants in 2016—a drop of 12 million metric tons, or three percent, from 2015.
