Putting climate firmly back at the centre of the UK’s political conversation. Zack Polanski tops the Politics & Government section of The Independent’s Climate 100 list.
ZACK POLANSKI NAMED THE UK’S TOP POLITICAL CLIMATE LEADER

The Independent write-up in full:

“Since becoming leader of the Green Party in 2025, Zack Polanski has made the links between climate change, inequality and the cost of living central to his politics, arguing that environmental action must also make people’s lives better.

This summer, as the UK faced its hottest summer ever and wildfires swept across the UK and the rest of the globe, he called for oil and gas companies to pay higher taxes to fund climate adaptation. That is alongside investment in cooling homes and public spaces and bringing water companies into public ownership.

More recently, he's taken aim at the rapid expansion of AI data centres, calling for a halt to new developments because of their huge demands for electricity and water at a time of increasing climate pressure. The Greens have proposed a moratorium on all but small, community-focused centres.

Polanski describes his approach as ‘eco-populist’, seeking to connect environmental concerns with frustrations over housing, bills and wealth inequality. His rise has helped propel the Greens into their strongest electoral position yet – and put climate politics firmly back at the centre of Britain’s political conversation.”

It's pretty telling that the vote now is to vote Green or mass extinction of our species, and yet there are people voting against all of our interests. Why? Because billionaires have funded campaigns to make them think immigration is a more serious issue than the continuation of the human race.

IPCC has long come under heavy fire from all directions. Truth is, it has only ever *underestimated* the threat to humanity: the seriousness of the climate collapse situation. It has *never* exaggerated it. As much as billionaire oil-fired bots & trolls (and the duped) wanted to insist was the case.

“It’s one thing to go out and hold up a placard” Deputy Met Police Commissioner Matt Jukes said that the police take neo-Nazi threats more seriously than those peacefully holding placards. There have been over 3,600 arrests since July 2025 for peacefully holding up a placard.

This is HIGH IMPACT. PLEASE watch and digest. And then hopefully you will want to share. There are plenty of criminals around. Arresting 3,600 quakers, pensioners and pacifists is not good use of police (over) time. And destroys trust in OUR Police.
