Boris Johnson News – Boris Johnson leaves people baffled with bizarre remarks about ‘tree-hugging, tofu-munchers’

Boris Johnson has raised eyebrows with bizarre remarks surrounding climate change.

The prime minister insisted the crisis was not just a concern of “tree-hugging, tofu-munchers” but a threat to security of all nations.

Addressing the UN Security Council, he urged leaders to take action with an unorthodox plea while highlighting the UK’s commitment to reduce emissions.

He said: “Itis absolutely clear that climate change is a threat to our collective security and the security of our nations.

I know there are people around the world who will say this is all kind of ‘green stuff’ from a bunch of tree-hugging tofu munchers and not suited to international diplomacy and international politics.

“I couldn’t disagree more profoundly.”

Johnson’s choice of words left many baffled, as they attempted to piece together his thought process behind the leading comments.

At a UK-hosted UN Security Council meeting, Boris Johnson says some people will see climate change as tofu-eating, sandal-wearing nonsense.

Then says he disagrees with that characterisation. So why mention it? Will strike the rest of the world as bizarre. #UNSC

UK PM Boris Johnson whose government is chairing today’s discussion said some might say climate change might be seen as concern of tofu-munching environmentalists, but no, this discussion is much more important than that. Thanks I guess for that framing.

The prime minister’s speech was followed by a pre-recorded message from Sir David Attenborough who proved slightly more articulate with his words.
