Total climate ignoramus Andrew Neil, who has such bad judgement that he inadvertently fronted an extreme right wing populist TV channel without knowing what it was, now wants to return to mainstream TV to misinform the public about the climate crisis.

Nothing better illustrates the obstacle to addressing the climate crisis. A bunch of very powerful and influential people, who control everything believe they know best when it comes to the climate and ecological crisis.
The only thing all of these people have in common is a complete lack of knowledge about the subject. None of them have any formal qualifications in a relevant subject, and at best they have done some very cherry-picked shallow reading.
This is the classic Dunning-Kruger effect, where people with the least knowledge about a subject, believe they know best about this subject, simply because they've so little knowledge that they have no way of critiquing their complete lack of knowledge.
A power structure for our system has developed, where not a single person in a position of power and influence, has any understanding of the Earth's life support systems that keep us alive, and believe they know best, and can overrule experts about this subject.
