I particurly enjoy the 5th Viscount Ridley, hereditary peer in the House of Lords, and inherited landowner of coal mines repeatedly coming to the aid of the 'poor people' that are affected, not by climate change, but in his view climate change mitigation strategies supported by 'upper middle class people, doing yoga and things like that'.
Thank you m'lord, though I assume from all his virtue signaling that he'll have already changed his mind now that wind and solar have been become so cheap for all the people in developing countries that he worries are dying from smoke inhalation due to lack of access to cheap electricity. When pursuing noble goals like that, you need to keep up with the science and economics or you can end up promoting harmful strategies as he's pointed out so many times in the past (okay, it turns out he was wrong on basically all of the facts, but the principle is sound).
