Note these words: "We cannot let climate action become another victim of coronavirus."

Everything else CAN become a victim of coronavirus.

Jobs.
People's health & lives.
Education.
Homes, businesses.
The economy.

But NOT the green agenda.

Why does the Green Agenda -- #NetZero -- get protection that NOTHING, and nobody else has enjoyed?

Can you explain, @Number10press, @BorisJohnson, @Conservatives?

What are the priorities of the government, if they will let people with treatable illness rot, deny children's education, let businesses & jobs evaporate...

But will pull out all the stops to continue with the climate policies and posturing that they KNOW has no public support?

There can be no clearer demonstration of the government's priorities than its actions and its statements.

Bookmark his words. Mark the moment. EVERY time ANY politician or commentator makes an argument for climate policies, remind them of what they are arguing for.

If, during the most uncertain time, as people are losing their lives, homes, jobs, businesses, education, the Prime Minister is unwavering in his commitment to a policy that may well cost even more lives, homes, jobs, businesses, education...

THEN HE DOES NOT GIVE A STUFF.

That is environmentalism.

"I like animals and natural landscapes" is not environmentalism.

Environmentalism is the priorities Boris Johnson has demonstrated -- the political agenda he has put far ahead of the interests and wishes of the British public.
