Sir Keir Starmer challenged opposition critics with a promise to double down on net zero as he admitted the “consensus is gone” on climate change in a speech at the UN’s Cop30 summit.
The Prime Minister staunchly defended his Government’s clean energy agenda, but conceded unity on “science that is unequivocal” has splintered since the Paris Accord a decade ago.
Speaking at the international climate conference in Belem, Brazil’s city gateway to the Amazon, Sir Keir sought to make the economic case for net zero by arguing the green transition would create jobs and lower household bills.
Speaking with Reporter Jessica Woodlock and Environment Editor Chris Morrison, Talk’s Ian Collins says: “You can’t make this up!”
“Sir Keir Starmer challenged opposition critics with a promise to double down on net zero as he admitted the “consensus is gone” on climate change in a speech at the UN’s Cop30 summit.”
So … does he still think “The Science is Settled!”?
Does he still think?

Lower cost and more jobs? So where does the money come from to hire more people? Are the going to be a European electric provider and sell to other countries?
You can’t make this stuff up!
You sure can with your thumb on the scale until the bleeding obvious catches up with you-

I understand what he’s lying about and I think he does too.
“Sir Keir Rodney Starmer[a] (born 2 September 1962) is a British politician and lawyer who has served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 2024 and as Leader of the Labour Party since 2020.”
2025-1962 =63 years old. Doesn’t look bad for 63. Maybe he’s overinvested in that aspect of life relative to thinking certain issues through.
