I'm looking at averages for the top 10 economies

Using that average in a discussion about the UK is very disingenuous, considering we don't use coal anymore.

UK still uses a stupid amount of gas which I suppose is mildly better than cold

It's not mildly better, it's hugely better. I think you're underestimating how awful coal is. Gas is in the region of 60% less emissions than coal, and that's not even including other aspects such as sulphur dioxide and particulate emissions.

but still basically a fossil fuel so everything I just said is still true

Not really. We've already established that the coal line was nonsense, we've established that gas isn't "mildly" better, and like I said, gas is dropping substantially every year.

Your assertion that we still have fossil fuels due to lobbying is nonsensical too. We still have fossil fuels because it is impossible to switch to renewables overnight. Even the UK's astoundingly fast shift away from coal took years. It's not just a switch you can flip off. Gas, just like coal is quickly decreasing in the UK.

It doesn't even make sense to say energy companies are lobbying to stick with fossil fuels in the UK, as it's literally less profitable for them. The UK is just too perfectly suited for wind for fossil fuel electricity generation to make make much sense as a thing to lobby for.
