The Daily Telegraph has raced through all five stages of climate denial this week. But this is, perhaps, the most ridiculous column so far: "Without minimising the severe downsides…especially on some poorer nations, many in Britain would enjoy the kind of warmer climate predicted by modellers..."

"Pathetic": I told the Guardian what I think about the Starmer government's plan for nature It's more of the failed politics of the past 40yrs: failing to take public control of the nature crisis & contracting it out to private landowners. Burnham must do better www.theguardian.com/environment/...
