Deniers are everywhere. The race is on to be a skeptic now — Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act
By Jo Nova
So many political leaders are backtracking on green policies, Bloomberg laments the Climate Deniers are Hiding in Plain Sight.
Sir Kier Starmer was a star at the last COP meeting in Azerbaijan, but this year he doesn’t even want to go to the next COP meeting in Brazil. Apparently his aides “are worried about being criticized by the Reform UK party.” Only two years ago Starmer was criticizing Rishi Sunak for missing COP27, now he’s too scared to go himself lest he look crazy-green.
Everywhere countries are saying they care about climate change but are doing the opposite. The EU nations are fighting over their 2035 and 2040 emissions targets, Mexico is borrowing up to keep its oil company afloat, Canada scrapped their carbon tax, and is being “coy” about their 2030 target. Governor Gavin Newsom just boosted oil drilling in California “a year after he described the industry as the “polluted heart of this climate crisis.””
Now Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Tories in the UK, is promising to dump The Climate Change Act if she gets elected. Suddenly, the race is on to be skeptical. She’s in an existential fight for relevance against the storming Reform party which are polling as high as 29% now, compared to the Labour government on 21% and the Tories at just 16%. All those skeptical voters were there all along, enough to break the two party system in Britain.
