A local councillor in Nottinghamshire—who happens to be in charge of transport and environment policy—just dismissed human-caused climate change as a "hoax." This isn’t some random opinion; it’s coming from a decision-maker whose job includes tackling emissions and sustainability.

Editor’s Note: When an official overseeing environmental policy denies the science behind global warming, it raises serious questions about how effectively their region will address the crisis. This isn’t just a personal take—it could stall or derail local climate action, which matters for everyone living there (and beyond).
