Just as Labour pushes on with it's policies of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the UK’s two main rightwing opposition parties are openly questioning was is long-settled climate science with Nigel Farages' Reform party saying they will cancel it if they are elected and the Conservative Party policy is now to suspend it until later.
As 71% of of the British Public support Net Zero and are concerned about the climate crisis, they do seem to be battling their own voters but with extreme weather really ramping up globally, how did we get here?
It was actually the Conservatives under David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson who did most to bring about Net Zero and Labour are just continuing the policies they put in place and as for Reform, deputy Richard Tice was absolutely taken to the cleaners by everyone when he said that there was no evidence that humans putting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere changes the climate so he is obviously on top of things and really shouldn't be listened to.
So why are the two right wing parties swimming against the tide to try and dismiss something we can literally see happening with our own eyes?
It might be noting that both are doing very well financially out of playing down Climate Change with both Reform and the Conservatives backed by prominent donors and supporters with a climate-denying outlook.
Kemi Badenoch and her family recently spent a week as guests of the donor Neil Record, who chairs Net Zero Watch, an offshoot of the UK’s main climate sceptic thinktank, the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) and handed Badenoch £10,000 for her campaign to become Tory leader and the Conservative Party has received millions of pounds in donations from individuals and entities such as the GWPF linked to high-pollution industries such as fossil fuels, aviation, and construction.
One of the biggest donors to Reform is the shipping magnate Terence Mordaunt, a trustee of the GWPF and now head of First Corporate Shipping who has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to Reform but analysis of donors listed in the Parliament donor book show that 92% of Reform's funding came from individuals or companies with polluting interests or those who question climate change.    
Follow the money and it is obvious why both parties are bizarrely ranting against Climate Change policies but as the majority worry about Climate Change, both parties are on a collision course with not just the British public but the laws of physics because Mother Nature won't care as she bakes, floods and throws more and more extreme weather at us.
Still, the growing Conservative and Reform bank balances will soften the blow for them i'm sure.
