Environmental experts have brutally slammed Richard Tice for claiming it is “absolute garbage” to say human activities are the main cause of climate change.
The Reform UK deputy leader suggested Nasa and the UN were wrong to report that the leading cause of climate change is human activities, arguing he could name thousands of scientists who agree with him but won’t come forward because they are “terrified to speak because they won’t get any research funding if they tell it how it is.”
“There is so much money and vested interests who are trying to push this agenda on us. It has to stop and only Reform UK is going to stop it,” he added in a fiery Sky News interview.
But, experts have hit back to rebuke Tice’s remarks. Bob Ward, the policy director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics, told The London Economic: “The comments by Richard Tice are pure misinformation.”
He said: “Scientists have proven beyond reasonable doubt that the recent rise in global temperature and associated climate change is not caused by the same factors that drove climate change in the past. We know for instance that a large meteorite has not hit the Earth recently, or that the Earth has wobbled in its orbit to be closer to the Sun.
“But we have known for more than 150 years that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, because its effect has been measured in the laboratory and we know from ice cores that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today is about 50 per cent higher than before we started burning fossil fuels. We also know from isotopic measurements that the rise in carbon dioxide concentrations is due to the burning of fossil fuels.
“Richard Tice is supposed to represent the people of Boston and Skegness, a constituency which a study in November concluded was the second most vulnerable in England to sea level rise and the other impacts of climate change. If he does not accept the very clear evidence about the cause of climate change, which is harming lives and livelihoods in his constituency, then he is not fit to represent them in Parliament.”
Former leader of Reform UK making up lies to protect his own wealth?
Who’d have thought it?
Feature, not a bug.
“Climate Change is not caused by mankind”, textbook Climate Change Denial, was literally in their list of “promises” pre-election.
Tice/Farage have decided that going after Net Zero and Climate Change is what the Reform fanbase want (over actual, y’know, science).
Hell, last week Reform were talking about how Renewable energy is a scam and followed it up by installing solar panels in one of their buildings.
Grifters, pure and simple.

Sure, because the one problem of the anti-climate science people in the world is lack of money to fund research right? It is not like oil companies, conservative political groups, and egotistical billionaires who like being contrarians could drum up a few quid to support scientists proving them right.
Tice is a wanker.
It’s always sunny in Dubai.
Richard Tice.
Isnt he a total douche bag… like the rest of his party. Here is his racist mate Rupert Lowe, who owns a heat pump company and installed solar ….
Rupert Lowe wants to repeal the Race Relations act

When will people realise what these douche bags really are ?
I appreciate that people want change away from the Tory, Labour duopoly.
But seriously, how can anyone look at Farage, Tice and Anderson and think “Yep, those guys are the ones we want”.
They are all as thick as mince and have no idea other than to ring the bells of conspiracy and hate.
Thinking that voting them will be an improvement over what we have is like saying “I’m fed up with Tesco and Asda offering the same unsatisfying service. I reckon getting my fresh fish and meat from the back of a blokes car in a pub car park will solve all my problems”.
With the amount of hot air that comes out of his mouth he’s a major contributor
You know one of these days someone famous is going to get Bane’d in the news, and we’ll have to stop using slammed as it actually means something.
Hmm, who do I believe: Richard Tice with no scientific credentials or 99.9% of all climate scientists. Tough choice.
Guy’s a massive cunt who doesn’t seem to think an aging population *won’t* lead to a massive tax burden/reduction in public services.
He’s into short-term, reactionary dopamine hits and that’s about the extent of his politics.
Climate science deniers deserve absolutely no place in politics. If they’ll lie about climate science because of fossil fuel lobbying and right wing deregulation extremism, they’ll do the same for basically any other form of science too.
I wish I had as much confidence in my own BS as he does.
I think he’s makes very good points.
I’ve a background in Geology & it’s always a complete revelation when someone like Tice tells us the climate changed in the past.
It’s an amazing insight, I can’t believe professionals after hundreds of years studying the subject never once even considered the climate might not be the same as it always was.
The guy’s a genius.
Richard Tice is a scumbag liar and probably a Russian asset.
They had climate change disinformation on their site before the GE.
Do Reform do anything else but spread misinformation?
Could he not be slammed, and actually just be punished for spreading nonsense around? We don’t seem to really care about people lying in the public eye as elected officials nearly as much as we should. The constant lying should result in someone being deemed unfit for office, this is just silly.
It’s interesting that he denies climate change despite hating refugees. Think we’re seeing loads of refugees now? Wait until somewhere like Bangladesh becomes uninhabitable.
Tice and his missus, Oakshitt are now based in Dubai. She was on tv espousing the benefits over the uk a couple of weeks ago….. low tax, private education, high standard of living. The killer was when she said you don’t even have to learn the language as there’s such a fantastic “expat”community. That’s immigrants to you love. So, they want to fuck it up for you and me, while they live it up elsewhere.
Saw an interview with him the other day…he fully believes in climate change but not man made. One of those type of people who happy to believe Climate change is real but happens over 10000 years…which is fine, everything on the planet gets the chance to adapt….but what he doesn’t realize is humans have sped up that process to happen within a 100 years, things can’t adapt that quick and we will be one of them….type of person who will be happy to tell everyone to have kids like Elon but don’t care about the future for those kids cuz at the current rate they have no future.
Wtf goes to reform to have their own opinions challenged and changed? They generate absolutely zero reliable information for the benefit of ensuring people are informed of the facts. It’s all to push their own mean-spirited agenda.
> “Scientists have proven beyond reasonable doubt that the recent rise in global temperature and associated climate change is not caused by the same factors that drove climate change in the past.”
See, even the scientists say there is still some doubt! – Richard Tice, probably.
How is it that there isn’t a single electable (non labour/Tory) party?
Bad week for Tice. He got absolutely slaughtered by that well know tree hugger commie Julia Shartley-Brewer for Putin appeasement / giving up Ukraine. When he gets off his greatest hit ‘ thinly masked racism’, the rest of his catalogue doesn’t go down well.
UK electricity prices are now the highest in the world. (by quite a large margin)
Not sure how we can celebrate our current energy policies
Farage thinks CO2 is safe because plants use it. I mean that’s true but, we should also lock him in a room with just CO2 so he can experience that safety.
The thing that annoys me the most about this bullshit is that the cause isn’t even relevant.
The world is heating up and if we don’t do something about it an incredibly large number of people will die, billions will be displaced and they’ll have nowhere to go but North or South…and there’s a lot more North to go to.
Unless Reform have decided they do in fact really, really love immigration…
“Richard Tice!!! You have now been SLAMMED for spreading misinformation!!!”
That’ll show’em.
It’s not just climate change that he lies about either. Interviewers need to challeng these folk a lot more: they get away with spouting some terrible bullshit.
Just waiting for him to prove his position by pointing out that the earth is flat and that if there was a building up of CO2 it would just fall off the sides.
This is why reform cannot be taken seriously. It is one thing to argue that the trade offs with renewables/net zero means we should drill more fossil fuels, but another to deny basic scientific facts. As much as i dislike them so far it looks like i’ll have to vote Labour next time just to keep sane people in charge
I’d dearly love to see the word arrested rather than “slammed” when it comes to misinformation surrounding environmental or public health matters, particularly when made for financial gain
Richard Tice helped finance Brexit and what benefits have we seen , absolutely fuck all. Now Tice is bank rolling reform, so think before you support Tice, Farage, Anderson and reform, they most probably made a lot of money from brexit.
NASA and the fucking UN: Humans are driving unprecedented levels of climate change.
This fucking tool: Actually, no.
Come on everyone. We must all now realise, even ardent Reform supporters, that literally everything that Tice and Farage say can be viewed as misinformation.
climate change is like worrying about an old geez walking up to you from 200 feet away with a baton while you have a gun to your head…
Who actually gives a fuck anymore? The USA, Russia and China and all their cocksuckung oligarchs in tow are carving the world up as we speak. It’s over, they’ve won. May as well just relax and enjoy whatever time we have left
I cannot stress enough how fucking bat shit insane this man is for what he said in this interview.
Quite frankly, it’s a misinformed as “they are turning the frogs gay”. Thats how ridiculous it is. That’s how wrong he is. That’s how much he understands – he’s reached Alex Jones level of scientific literacy, except I don’t think Tice is an act. He’s genuinely dumb.
Again, _for the love of God, don’t be fooled. What he is saying is a complete misunderstanding and misrepresentation of climate science, and any consensus_.
“This is the beginning of the end for Reform” says inceasingly nervous man for the ninth time this month.
