At the Reform UK conference, deputy leader Richard Tice addressed climate skepticism among party members, who expressed doubts about climate science while also criticizing the government for inadequate responses to extreme weather. Attendees voiced concerns about housing design and government inaction during heatwaves, highlighting a disconnect between leadership and grassroots opinions on climate issues.
Despite the party's stance, polls indicate that many Reform voters support renewable energy and higher taxes on fossil fuels. Labour's climate minister pointed out that outright climate denial is becoming increasingly isolated in British politics, urging Reform members to avoid turning climate change into a divisive issue.
