⚠️ Carbon Brief has been analysing UK newspaper editorials on #ClimateAction since 2011. 2025 is the first year opposition to climate action has exceeded support.

A line graph showing the steeply rising number of editorials supporting 'less action' and the sharply falling number of editorials supporting 'more action' on climate from 2011 to 2025. The steep rise begins in 2021, and the 'more action' jumps around 2018, reaching a sharp peak in 2021, and falling fairly steadily since.
