Reform UK scraps Derbyshire climate change aim
An aim to tackle the causes and impact of climate change has been scrapped by Reform UK-led Derbyshire County Council.
The authority will now “support the development of energy security, energy efficiency and clean energy”, it has confirmed.
Reform UK said the decision was made due to the cost of net zero, though this figure was not confirmed.
The Labour government has said the climate and nature crisis is the greatest long-term global challenge we face and wants to reduce carbon emissions to “net zero” by 2050.
Reform scrapped the county’s climate change committee in May 2025 one week after winning power, saying they did not believe the committee was of “any value”.
They still sound like they sorta kinda care, but, that could just be making noises for the unhinged cultists.
The government said it wants the UK to be a global leader in the technology needed to decarbonise the world’s economies and The Confederation of British Industry said the transition to a greener economy was bringing jobs to parts of the UK experiencing industrial decline.
But Graves claimed the money generated in the green transition comes mainly from taxpayers.
“Is that what people want to spend their taxes on? That’s what you have to ask as a question,” he said.
They realized Net Zero costs a lot of money, it’s unsustainable at this time, and the taxpayers are on the hook.
The UK Met Office says that, on average, winters will become wetter and summers drier due to climate change, but summer rain will be more intense.
The 10 years between 2011 and 2020 were 9% wetter than the period between 1961 and 1990, it added.
It’s always some sort of doom with these people.
