Nigel Farage Dubbed 'A Con Artist' For Suggesting Climate Change May Not Be Man-Made

Nigel FarageNigel Farage has been dubbed “a con artist” after he suggested climate change may not be man-made.The Reform UK leader also called for the government to ditch its net zero policies because they “make no difference whatsoever” to global warming.Asked on Radio 4′s Today programme if he accepted climate change was at least partly man-made, Farage would only say: “It may well be.”He added: “Let’s go with the scientists. Let’s say that the 3% to 5% of CO2 emissions in the world every year that are man-made, as opposed to natural, are having a detrimental, or at least a warming effect on the world. Let’s start from that position.”However, he avoided the question when asked if that was his own position.Farage also said politicians should not “commit economic hara-kiri” in order to tackle the problem.“I think we should scrap the net zero targets, yes, absolutely. I think they’re going to make zero difference in the world,” he said.Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay condemned Farage, and challenged him to a public debate on climate change.He said: “Nigel Farage is a performer, a con artist. He will say or do anything. He will happily dance to a populist tune regardless of its impact.“This morning’s performance suggested he hasn’t got the slightest grasp of even the most basic climate science. But I think it’s worse than that. He understands all too well human-made climate change, but he is willing to pretend he doesn’t and stand in the way of climate action for his party’s populist agenda.“If he really does believe what he says, let’s see if his ridiculous rhetoric stands up to actual scrutiny – let’s see if he is prepared to take part in an hour-long TV debate about climate change and the challenge of reaching net zero?”Related...Can Nigel Farage Break Down Labour's Re-Built Red Wall – Or Will Voters 'Smell His Bull****'?Nigel Farage Was Asked How He Plans To Pay For All Of Reform's Policies – And Couldn't AnswerFarage Accused of 'Parroting Putin' For Suggesting Ukraine Give Up Crimea For Peace
