Ministers promoted in Boris Johnson’s reshuffle have voted against key green laws, backed dirty energy and been accused of spreading climate disinformation, analysis by openDemocracy today reveals.
The news comes despite Johnson’s insistence last year at the UN that “it is time for us to listen to the warnings of the scientists”.
Green Party deputy leader Amelia Womack told openDemocracy that Johnson had “stuffed” the government “full of those who simply haven’t clocked the seriousness of the climate crisis”.
