A CONTROVERSIAL film declaring that there is no such thing as climate change has been broadcast in Derby City Council’s Council Chamber at the request of the Conservatives.
The film, branded “dangerous” and “irresponsible”, declares that climate change does not exist and that there is little point in making efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
Other councillors are furious that the transmission has gone ahead and have questioned the Conservatives motives.
Tory Councillor Frank Leeming is promoting the film.
The council’s Tories are supposed to be committed to reducing carbon emissions yet here they are irresponsibly pushing a film which threatens all of that.
It reaffirms my belief that the Conservatives have merely been paying lip service to environmental issues in pushing their new branding as a caring party.
Councillor Leeming has always been a law unto himself but the Tories evidently felt he had the sufficient qualities for their group when they went out of their way to recruit him last year.
Now they’ve given him the biggest vote of confidence they could by giving him the green light to promote a viewpoint, which is at best misguided and at worst completely irresponsible.
