Sky News host Chris Kenny has criticised climate zealots for praising heroin growers in Afghanistan simply because they use renewable energy.
“The BBC’s Chief Environment Correspondent Justin Rowlatt wrote glowingly about heroin growers in Afghanistan because, well, because they were growing their deadly and illegal crops with renewable energy,” he said.
Mr Rowlatt described it as “the story of how Afghan opium growers have switched to solar power, and significantly increased the world supply of heroin”.
“There they are, the green-left, getting high on renewable energy,” Mr Kenny said.
Sky News contributor Gemma Tognini said “if this is what they are now reporting on in order to keep the climate garbage that they perpetuate going, they’re properly desperate.”
“Sure, report that story if you like,” she said.
“But without the context of heroin as a drug, what it does, the damage, the global war on drugs, all of that really important context, just goes to show how terribly conflicted they are, how utterly void of any kind of context and balance they are.”
