Last year, Australia had a general election that commentators dubbed the 'climate election'. Scott Morrison's climate science denying conservative coalition won.
Also last year, the UK had a general election that commentators dubbed 'the climate election'. Boris Johnson - the MP that received the most donations from the UK's supporters of climate science denial - won.
This year, Labour is having a leadership election. And judging by the stock all of its candidates seem to be putting in addressing the climate crisis, the party still thinks the issue can be a vote winner.
Read – Analysis: Labour Leadership Candidates' Record on Climate Change
DeSmog reporter Rich Collett-White has been through all of the leadership candidates' positions on climate change. In summary: they all think climate change is real, a serious problem that needs addressing right now, and are pretty darn keen on some sort of green industrial revolution to do so.
Since the election, the Tories have come out with some big, bold, statements about combatting climate change. But if you compare and contrast Labour's contest with the runners and riders in the Tory leadership contest last June (I know, doesn't time fly), it seems fair to say Labour's green credentials are looking relatively decent, whoever wins.
