On page 6, today's Express combines a demand to "get drilling" with the wildly misleading suggestion that fossil fuels are "clean energy"... Meanwhile on page 16, it worries about the severe impact of drought on British farming as "Extended periods of dry weather" are no longer "rare" 🤔
Screenshot of two Sunday Express headlines from today's paper: The first (from page 6) reads: "Kemi tells PM to 'get drilling' for UK's own clean energy". The second (from page 14) reads :"Axe farmer taxes so they can cope with droughts"....

As wildfires rage across Europe - and the UK & Spanish governments declare climate change a "national security emergency", who'd have guessed the Telegraph would pivot from claiming climate change is "pure fantasy" to insisting it's inevitable & mitigation efforts should be scrapped?

In the UK alone, around 2,700 people are believed to died as a result of this year's heat wave - yet GB News commentators dismiss public concern about climate change as "alarmism" and demand *yet more* fossil fuel extraction. This is what GB News advertisers are aligning with 👇

Whilst recent heatwaves have “killed about 2,700 people in England and Wales”, toxic papers in the UK have either: (a) celebrated the heatwaves (b) continued anti-Net Zero content (c) reported on drought & wildfires without mentioning climate crisis For example: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We should seriously consider having some rules about due accuracy and impartiality in broadcasting. Maybe we could have some kind of regulator to enforce them. We could even push the boat out and have a cabinet minister responsible for it.
