No wonder Trump blew his top when the US is the biggest contributor into NATO ……. WHAT AN UTTER LOAD OF TOSH !!!! Pathetic …… Let’s Hope a 15 year old Greta Thunderbirds can help ?? We are all blighting our nails the gyro can rise to the occasion ? Haha
A kwango running the climate change and not our parliment?
Does the parliment have any teeth today?
Who is pulling the strings in this country?
Based on lies, conjecture and hyperbole . Boris and his new labour ………..
how about telling everyone the carbon footprint of both making and disposing of Solar panels and wind farms . Also how about the fact there has been 35% less wind across Europe in the past year . Or how about the interesting part of there bitcoin policy which uses more energy than some entire nations .
It’s fear,mongering and essentially the great Marxist reset
Unelected bureaucrats making decisions and ruling the nation, not sure if this is democratic. These politicians get paid to do a job and they need to start doing it, Boris is a waste of tax payers money and needs to move on and leech from a buoy business where he can do little harm.
Is this Fox News? Conspiratorial guff.
Climate alarmism is a cult and it has taken over all our institutions, our government and even most of our transnational corporations. We need to fight back immediately or else our freedoms and living standards will be destroyed.
They should be abolished.
government financial racket for its cronies.
May made Net Zero "legally binding". In effect every piece of Govt policy has to take account of the advice of the Climate Change Committee.
May is truly the worst PM in living memory.
Did we elect this climate change committee— NO. We need a referendum on this crap.
HAS DR. JOHNSON CONSULTED THE S U N REGARDING ITS ACTIONS REGARDING ITS ACTIONS IN CLIMATE CHANGE IT MAY SAVE US SEVERAL BILLIONS OF POUNDS IF HE TAKES NOTE. THIS WILL PLEASE THE BRITISH TAXPAYER. WE HAVE NOT GOT THE SAME POWER AS THE *S U N *
As man made climate change is total bollocks then Theresa May making laws to combat man made climate change must also be bollocks and should be ignored
Anyone can hare climate change. The continent called Antarctica is falling apart too easily. Do something to save this continent. Just by installing granite underneath this continent.
What is this Fox News-esque documentary?
Fascist Torries, out out out!
Why would they want climate change policy out of the hands of government?! everyone knows long term strategy and taking an upfront popularity hit for a greater future gain is what they excel in.
What does 0 zero actually mean ?
I’ve just came from the Labour Party thing that to harped on about 0% zero bla bla
