Trump 'in one corner' (he actually uses this boxing terminology!), Thunberg in the other. Gail Bradbrook did okay except for failing to challenge the Spectator editor, Fraser Nelson's assertion about UK emissions falling (last I heard this was a sleight of hand because it doesn't include aviation emissions or account for the outsourcing of manufacturing & industry) or his ludicrous suggestion that free-market capitalism and tech innovation are going to solve the problem all by themselves. Astonishing that people like this are still being given a platform. Not so long ago he was championing arch-denier Ian Plimer in the Spectator: https://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/mehdi-hasan/2009/09/climate-global-monbiot Beeb trying to drag the conversation back 30 years behind the curve... Is this what their new climate change coverage is going to look like? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51104776 jeers, I
