The UK’s political landscape is shifting as the major right-wing opposition parties openly challenge established climate science, undermining the previous cross-party commitment to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This change marks a stark shift from the consensus held just a few years ago, as the Conservative leadership has abandoned net zero ambitions. The Reform Party is positioning itself as a key player in upcoming elections, emphasizing climate skepticism, despite overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change. Their rhetoric suggests a troubling trend in politicizing climate policy along party lines.
do not all have a consensus on this. Some view things slightly differently. Do I think that [the carbon dioxide that humans are putting into the atmosphere] will definitely change the climate? No.
Net zero has replaced the EU as the thing on which all our ills can be blamed.
