Climate activist Finlay Pringle doesn’t mince his words. Boris Johnson? “I hate him,” says the 14-year-old from Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, before correcting himself. “OK, in polite terms, I severely disagree with him. He’s like the British version of Trump. When he speaks, he sounds like an Oompa-Loompa. Everything is just slogans.”
And his future? “I’m angry,” he says. “I’ve been cheated out of my future. People are dying from climate change. The Australian wildfires claimed lives. People in the Maldives will lose their homes.”
