In a disastrous move for the climate and environment, Liz Truss has given responsibility for UK energy policy to Jacob Rees-Mogg. Often caricatured as the "Minister for the 18th century", the old Etonian has publicly called for the UK to squeeze “every last cubic inch of gas” from the North Sea, restart fracking and reject windfarms in favour of fossil fuels. Rees-Mogg also has a financial interest in fossil fuels. He co-founded fund-management firm Somerset Capital Management, which profits from oil and coal mining. Perhaps this explains why in 2014, in a direct contradiction of IPCC findings, he claimed that human efforts to mitigate climate change would have a minimal effect. As a result, we’ll need to scrutinize the government more carefully than ever before, and call out any new policies that help fossil fuel companies profit instead of protecting the planet.
