True enough, Boris Johnson has plenty of other fish to fry at the moment, but with gas and electricity prices spiralling out of control, you’d think he would start addressing his country’s energy woes. But, not a bit of it.

Key quote: “…on the basis of observational data, the climate crisis that, according to many sources, we are experiencing today, is not evident yet.”
