'Arrogant' Reform Wales branch chairman slammed over 'ignorant' climate change claims

Perhaps he can explain the thinking of his political colleagues in the states who simultaneously believe that eight billion people burning oil can't affect the climate yet the Dems can cause Texan floods at the drop of a hat. That's what you call peak clown.

Brave or stupid to demonstrate your ignorance. Or both. If he is going to call it then produce his own research to counter just about every climate scientist going. Of course he wont.

Dunning Kruger effect in action again I see. KIndergarten 'Science' vs. The Met Office. No contest.

I think he is unfit to be a human being.

Farage has on several occasions indicated that he is a climate change denier and doesn’t want the UK government to take the only effective action that will combat it – “net zero”. It is Reform UK’s policy in spite of the fact that scientific evidence for climate change (increase in global temperatures), mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels by humanity, has been absolutely conclusive and overwhelming for many decades. One wonders whether Nigel Farage is also a “flat-earth” man, as well as his followers.         

There are only two varieties of Reform UK supporters: there are the ghouls and there are the fools.

Have fun reading, silly Adrian! https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/news/has-nigel-farage-quietly-forced-reform-uk-to-u-turn-on-climate-change-denial/

Here's another one incase you go into full denial (no pun intended). https://www.desmog.com/2025/02/18/not-a-scientist-net-zero-critic-nigel-farage-admits-climate-ignorance/

Here you go! https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/news/has-nigel-farage-quietly-forced-reform-uk-to-u-turn-on-climate-change-denial/

Reform are intent on dumbing down the entire country, all so they can manipulate people more easily. They are intent on setting us back decades in so many ways. Their goal is ignorant serfdom for the masses. They must be called out each and every time they make ridiculous claims. Very loudly and very publicly.

Even a jellyfish can see Farage is pro oil. And there are 2 pieces of evidence submitted which I will remind you of whenever you next ever post any further comments.

So according to that Reform UK clown Gareth Beer, the hole in the O-Zone layer was a conspiracy and not the cause of CFCs, or is the rise in sea temperature not a threat to those low lying nations or the cause of weather extremes, but a cash cow for woke snowflakes and tree huggers. These Reform UK morons are highly dangerous akin to Antivaxers who peddle lies & conspiracy theories on social media to those naive enough to believe their misinformation and disinformation. This isn't a game. Once past the tipping point there's no return. Areas of Wales are already suffering weather extremes with both drought conditions causing wildfires and severe rainfall resulting in former coal tips spilling their contents down onto the valley floor below putting lives at risk. It makes me so angry that Welsh voters are giving these fools credibility. If you want to punish the Welsh Government for 26 wasted devolution years or not standing up for Wales against UK Labour's Anti-Wales agenda, do it by voting for parties with our best interests at heart not Nigel Farage's. Reform UK have no interest in Wales, Welsh devolution, or do they advocate more powers to the Senedd, even though in their previous guises as UKip and Brexit Party argued how sovereignty and power was best served in Britain not the EU, the very same who want to abolish the Senedd without a vote and deny Wales the same right, sovereignty and powers of state that are rightly ours.

About ten years ago the Swiss and German governments built a bridge over the Rhine at Laufenburg. Germany uses the North sea as a base to calculate heights and Switzerland uses the Mediterranean as the base for its calculations. As they were building the bridge they realised that the difference in heights between the two roadways was over 50 cms which is proof that the level between the two connected bodies of water are different and Mr Beer is wrong about sea levels all being the same.

The actual report can be downloaded at: https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joc.70010 but I could not find in the report the statement made in the above article "Experts warned that many coastal parts of Britain could be completely underwater by 2050." This report does not appear to make any similar statement. So where is that coming from? Climate Central? If so their maps are very very simplistic. I do not believe that the evidence shows a linear trend, it does show an accelarating trend. The biggest threat in the UK is this slowly increasing mean sea levels combined with spring tides, high river levels and storm events. These will test flood defences more and more and will find weakness, just see the closure record of the Thames Barrier over its lifetime. There are seaside towns, such as Aberystwyth (when standing on the prom looking back to the station and you can see it is downhill), which really are very vulnerable. As are levels such as those on the Wentloog between Cardiff and Newport or Kinmel Bay and Rhyl. But to dismiss this, as gareth Beer does, just because he has not noticed any changes is not a good way to make decisions in a complex World.

Himalayan glacier let loose a massive flood the other day, another one. Greenland is in a precarious position and with warmer oceans there are increased risks of storms that used to be once in a hundred years now rolling very often and concerns that salinity is really messing things up in the Antarctic and Artic ocean getting warmer far faster than it should be, guess where the ice is. Extrapolating a single measurement without looking at other bits, that a good look to the future? To ignore all that is going on is really dense. Word of caution as well, Trump is yanking all US science in this area (and everywhere else), its info will get less and as scientist's are forced out, less warning, less data. Interesting read. https://climate.copernicus.eu/why-are-europe-and-arctic-heating-faster-rest-world Oh yeah, disputing well regarded orgs is something the GOP are good at. Wonder why reform are doing the same.

Quite wrong there; I'm always interested in matters around just why folk think as they do.

Like all climate change deniers he is unwilling to change his behaviour for his children and grandchildren and wishes to ignore scientific fact for his own selfish purposes. This from a fanatical Pentecostal protestant who believe that we are facing the end times and environmental destruction is simply a sign of god's work.

If you're not going to do anything about climate change and want to stop anything will assist in the fight against climate change (solar power, net zero) and you take millions from climate change denying organisations and individuals then you are a climate change denier.

"I know better than the Met Office because I read it on Facebook..."

Go find it. Times Radio is a start. Also check her history. Really do that. Check what organisation she joined, absolute deniers. Now look at her actions as Mayor. Reform really are bad for people, dangerous.

Port Talbot recent moments, lamp down on certain cars. Farage has endlessly pushed against net zero. Try reading. Next you'll say he ain't anti NHS or anti Welsh, when clearly he has said so on both. You really are a Reform enabler

No, we found it. Didn't really have to go looking for it. Sort of found us. It is rather unusually hot and muggy today, isn't it? Maybe just a freak thing but seems to happen more often that not.

I am all right here watching you grasp at thin air when I know it exists, you mistake that I need to fill in the gaps of your knowledge. You carry on. meanwhile the chemtrail believers that are in your party, I mean, come on, its aparty for clowns. Freebie hint for you. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2025/04/17/andrea-jenkyns-climate-denier/

Did he mention Ed? No!

Ironic, is it not? Make the most of it, that’s all you’re getting.

Perhaps they’re relying on Net Zero and also Swansea Council continuing to extend that new sea wall from Mumbles eastwards as a backup?

if nothing else, you're a trier. Just a suggestion, when you're in a hole stop digging, unless of course, you're hoping for a job when Nigel reopens the mines that his heroine ,Thatcher closed.

"This is the daftest thing I've heard in ages." Really? He's got a plethora of high profile Reformers to choose from. Paul Nutall, to name but a few.

Yes and Climate Central's maps were incredibly simplistic but the actual report does not make any huge claims as to the future sea level rise. So where are the unfounded projections you mention.

I think you got your fingers mixed up. You meant to type "and I'm so far right"

If you believe Thatcher shut down UK manufacturing and industry in the 80s for net zero then you don't understand history.

I think we all know who the morons are in this conversation mate.

The UK "voluntarily hollowed out its manufacturing industry" in the 80s. See Figure 4 here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/economicoutputandproductivity/output/articles/changesintheeconomysincethe1970s/2019-09-02 PT shut because of global free trade deals that came with Brexit. The EU hasn't shuttered their primary steel making.
