Rishi Sunak’s Friday morning was probably ruined by the furious resignation letter he received from Zac Goldsmith, in which the Tory peer accused the prime minister of being apathetic about the environment and a failure on climate policy. But was Goldsmith right?
It appears so. While it would be difficult to accuse Sunak of being a climate denier, the evidence suggests he does not care about the subject, which has resulted in a lack of climate action and risks the UK helping push the planet towards an uninhabitable condition.
