British people need to fly less, drive electric cars, eat little meat and turn their home thermostats down to 19 degrees Celsius (66 Fahrenheit) in order to rein in greenhouse gases damaging the planet.<\/p>\n

Those are the recommendations from the government\u2019s official adviser on climate change and\u00a0sketch out the toughest measures anywhere in the industrial world to rein in pollution. Drawn up by a panel including lawmakers, scientists, industry officials and analysts, their\u00a0277-page report also suggests a drastic overhaul for industry, agriculture and aviation.<\/p>\n

The findings mark out the ways Prime Minister Theresa May and her successors can reach a target to cut net emissions to zero by 2050, something scientists say is necessary to prevent more violent storms and rising seas that come with climate change. It\u2019s an indication that there\u2019s a growing consensus on the environment in the U.K. even as lawmakers remain deeply divided about how the nation should leave the European Union<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not asking people to lead a miserable life,\u201d John Gummer, former Conservative lawmaker who chairs the Committee on Climate Change, told reporters in London before the report was released on Thursday. \u201cWe are looking to having as fulfilled, as different, as various a life as we have today and to do it in a way in which we take respect for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sensing a lack of commitment from the British government, thousands of protesters from Extinction Rebellion took to the streets of London in April, blocking several main thoroughfares in a call for reaching net-zero emissions by 2025. Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has said ministers should declare a climate emergency.<\/p>\n

\n
Ministers from governments across the political spectrum have traditionally endorsed suggestions from the committee. The government will consider the report and release a detailed response sometime in the future. Greg Clark, the Cabinet minister in charge of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, signaled that ministers are likely to endorse\u00a0at least some of the findings.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis report now sets us on a path to become the first major economy to legislate to end our contribution to global warming entirely,\u201d Clark said in a statement.<\/p>\n
