Legal Insurrection : U.K.’s Bold, New Leader Shuts Climate Change Dept.

After #Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May changes political climate dramatically.

 

One of the new pieces of good news coming from Europe last week was from Great Britain.

 

In the wake of the #Brexit vote, U.K.’s new Prime Minister felt empowered to shut an entire government department.

 

British Prime Minister Theresa May has been facing criticism during her first few days in office over her decision to close the U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change.

 

The closure was reported on Thursday, May’s first full day in office after the departure of David Cameron.

 

The unit will actually be folded into an expanded Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy under Greg Clark.

 

It comes at a time when campaigners are urging the government to ratify the Paris climate change deal.
