How pleased The Times, Tories/Reform and their fossil fuel friends must be that, together, they are melting people’s critical faculties down into mush and persuading them to vote against their own interests in favour of those who couldn’t give less of a shit about them or their future.
![Rising tide of voters warm to climate scepticism
Oliver Wright Policy Editor
Adam Vaughan Environment Editor
The number of Britons who think the dangers of global warming have been exaggerated has jumped by more than 50 per cent in the past four years, research for The Times reveals.
One in four voters believe that concerns about climate change are not as justified as scientists have said, against a backdrop of public concern at the cost of the government's net zero policies.
Less than a third of the public (30 per cent) are in favour of banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, down from 51 per cent in 2021. Only 16 per cent of voters said they would be prepared to pay higher gas bills to encourage the switch to electricity.
Experts said the findings showed that growing climate scepticism among mainstream politicians in Britain and the US was cutting through with voters and the broad consensus on climate action was breaking down.
"Climate change is being politicised in the UK] in the same way that has been done in the United States," said Professor Wouter Poortinga, an environmental psychologist at Cardiff Uni-versity.
"If you have Kemi Badenoch standing up saying that we're going to drill, baby, drill, that will have a polaris-ing effect."
The research, in collaboration with YouGov and the opinion consultancy Public First, compared public sentiment on climate change today with a study done by The Times in 2021.
There is concern at the top of Labour that its climate change policies could cost it votes at the next election. Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, has called for net zero policies to be scrapped.

These figures are the proportion of the whole electorate, including don't-knows/don't-care/don't-vote.
So, if you compare like with like:
2016: 37% of the electorate voted to leave, 34% to remain
2025: 34% (down 3%) want to stay out, 52% (up 18%) rejoin
=> Voters: 64.2% Rejoin, 35.8% stay out.

Reform has lost 11 councillors and 2 MPs in a matter of months… and when I say ‘lost’ I mean, they’ve quit following rows, impropriety or inability to do their jobs.
So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.

This is precisely what happened. The same effort, over and over again, with Democrats and Republicans. But America was finally weak enough to simply ignore and its president idiotic enough to go along with it.
Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
