Has the politics of climate change finally reached a tipping point? | John Vidal
People increasingly see the environmental crisis as a national priority. This is an opportunity for bold action from government
Last week a small campaign group in the staunchly conservative town of Shrewsbury called a public meeting about climate change. The organisers were delighted when 150 people turned up. Even they were surprised, though, when people unanimously said they were prepared to give up flying, change their boilers and cars, eat less meat and even overthrow capitalism to get a grip on climate change.
But this was just a straw in the political wind whipping through middle England. Shrewsbury joins more than 100 other councils across the country in declaring a climate emergency, and has pledged that it will be carbon- neutral within 11 years, with more following every week.
