A Reform UK council leader has rejected the idea of a climate change emergency despite a summer of record-breaking heat linked to a rise in heat-related deaths, according to Byline Times. Critics, including social scientists commenting online, say the case illustrates the wider phenomenon of climate denial persisting in the face of extensive scientific evidence.

Why now: The denial follows deadly record heat, making the gap between official statements and climate evidence a flashpoint for public debate.
