Today's Daily Express really is something to behold (esp given the paper's 'previous' on climate change)... "We need to change our mindset…Over the coming months, the Daily Express will highlights the problems and point to solutions"pic.twitter.com/2w4nMqiwhM

But perhaps most remarkable is the "journey" that Express columnist Leo McKinstry has been on... 2013: "Global warming is nothing more than an expensive con" Today: "Without bold action, the climate crisis will deepen"pic.twitter.com/BjUdF9o6Yg

It's actually worth zooming in on the ComRes polling in the Daily Express's coverage... "The figures contradict previous messages from some parties that the environment is a low priority for voters, and point to a mandate for action."pic.twitter.com/fHymRsrMn1

And Day Two also includes another op-ed page, with both an editorial and a columnist (Stephen Pollard, who not longer ago used to regularly rage against the "green obsession")pic.twitter.com/lUICCtMdqZ
