The UK Times yesterday published a misinformation-strewn leader that implies decarbonisation is optional and subordinate to the needs of finance, and celebrates BP's decision to dump output reductions.

The Far right has a real grip on some MSM.

Disgraceful stuff. In the week of Milton as well. No one can escape climate change. It isn't swayed by lies and spin.
