Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK, has said the climate crisis is inevitable and that people should accept it rather than attempt mitigation. According to Tice, nothing can be done about the phenomenon, and the public should simply adapt to warmer conditions.
The UK experienced record temperatures during its summer, with wildfires breaking out across the country. Homes have been destroyed by fires, agricultural output has declined due to drought conditions, and firefighting services have faced sustained pressure battling blazes.
Tice's position represents a departure from mainstream climate policy, which typically emphasizes the need for emissions reductions and adaptation measures to address warming temperatures.
