    Lord Frost vs Tim Stanley: How the Right is getting climate change wrong

    With wildfires raging across Europe on today's episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley is joined by Lord Frost, unaffiliated peer and senior fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, to unpack the deep political fractures surrounding climate change, rising temperatures, and the future of net zero.After intense backlash to his recent column advocating for a conservative embrace of the renewables revolution, Tim challenges the Right's reluctance to confront environmental realities – from severe UK droughts to the growing toll on rural farming communities.Tim and David explore the economic viability of wind and solar compared to nuclear power, the perils of ideological “catastrophism,” and whether the key to handling extreme weather lies in central planning or the wealth and innovation of a free-market economy.We want to hear from you!
