Badgers are often the forgotten victims of fox hunting, an illegal activity that is supported by Nigel Farage and his Reform party, and now they are encouraging a cull of badgers in Wales, despite there being no scientific evidence that this is effective in dealing with bovine TB.

Unfortunately, it will take a lot more than mega wildfires, deadly heatwaves, floods and other climate-related calamities for the world's financiers, investors and their pet politicians to change their ways. It will be business as usual until the profit streams dry up, like the reservoirs.
