The current text says:
"Corbyn criticised Margaret Thatcher's acceptance of the fact of anthropogenic global warming (also saying that she later recanted her position) around the time of the 1984–85 miners' strike, judging it a disingenuous attempt to justify shutting down coal mines.[40]". The reference is to this article in the Observer.
The suggestion Thatcher accepted global warming around the time of the miners' strike, and used it to justify pit closures, is incorrect. There is no record of Thatcher mentioning global warming before the late 80s - I believe her first public reference was the Royal Society speech in 1988. So either this quote needs to be contextualised (making clear that the connection between the strike and global warming is an assertion of Corbyn's) or, perhaps more sensibly, the text should be deleted - it's a minor and easily falsified conspiracy theory.
No-one has done anything about your suggestion, which seems sensible. I have found a good source which refutes Corbyn's idea that Thatcher used climate change to justify running down the coal industry (from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research and Data) so rather than deleting the reference this will serve to contextualise it.

Should it change from 'British political activist' to 'British conspiracy theorist' to reflect his primary activity and interest? Jontel (talk) 16:57, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
