Doesn't continued support for fracking go against this? |  |

Now you're thinking too much.....stop it! |  |

Yes, we should build more nuclear power stations that would give us zero carbon much quicker |  | | |

The headline should read By 2050 we will have figured out how to attribute almost all of our carbon emissions to a different country. |  |

Short answer Yes, probably.
From what I understand it also doesn't include imported industrial carbon. I.E British steel has gone that we no longer produce carbon for producing steel. But China (or other countries) takes those carbon emissions on by producing the steel that we need.
As a country we are partly exporting our carbon footprint, not really dealing with it. [Post edited 12 Jun 2019 20:34]

This is the right answer but with a caveat I don't think you expected.
We should build loads of nuclear power stations but they should be thorium based. Nobody yet has a working thorium reactor but we should invest billions in making one because the upside is immense.
Thorium reactors can't meltdown. They can produce electricity like any other nuclear reactor without the horrible meltdown bit. There is still waste of course but that's a given in this process. You also can't make plutonium in them so no bombs. That means the technology and expertise can be exported anywhere without concern.
It's printing money if you manage it.

Yep & the French want you to contribute to the new Sizewell power station to get it built.
& your ancestors will pay for it to be decommissioned.
Well done |  | | |

French Co Areva & Belgiums Solvay signed up to R&D Thorium reactors in 2013.
& Areva already have a molten salt reactor
Areva CEO said it would take decades but how far has it advanced, to now? | | | |

A molten salt reactor isn't anything like a thorium reactor. You can still produce plutonium in them thus they aren't exportable on a large scale.
