Lord Frost denies there’s a ‘climate emergency’ and says we should back fracking and nuclear energy
LORD Frost has denied there is a "climate emergency" and told the next PM to stop "hectoring" Brits about going green. The ex-Cabinet Minister - and Tory grassroots darling - slammed the current "totally unrealistic approach" of trying to cut emissions.

In an essay for Policy Exchange he wrote: "We are told to stop travelling, live local, eat less, stop eating meat, turn our lights out and generally to stop being a burden." He also hit out at ministers prioritising "medieval" solutions like wind turbines rather than fracking and nuclear energy. Lord Frost wrote: "'Rather, the effects of climate change are a problem, one of the many we face, and should be tackled in that pragmatic way rather than by asking us to up-end the whole way our societies work.
