"One told investors it had introduced a green charter to mitigate our impact on climate change and later hired a full-time sustainability manager as part of its focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. Another said it was keen to play its part in reducing emissions for cleaner air and said it had saved hundreds of tonnes of CO by installing solar cells on the rooftops of its properties."
"Last year he said: We are not in climate emergency; nor is there a climate crisis. In May he stated: Solar farms are wrong at every level and insisted they would destroy food security, destroy jobs [and] destroy property values. He recently adopted the slogan net stupid zero, describing efforts to neutralise the UK's fossil fuel emissions as the most costly self-inflicted wound in modern British history."
Reform UK opposes net zero and has promoted lifting the fracking ban while rescinding a climate emergency declaration in Kent. Nigel Farage and party messaging frame net zero policies as harmful and costly. Richard Tice, Reform's deputy leader, posts on X denying a climate emergency and calls solar farms destructive, using the slogan "net stupid zero." Companies led by Tice since 2011 publicly reported commitments to saving energy, cutting CO emissions, introducing a green charter, hiring a sustainability manager, and installing rooftop solar that saved hundreds of tonnes of CO. A former tenant highlighted this contrast between public statements and corporate disclosures.
