Health minister Maria Caulfield is facing calls to refer herself to the ministerial ethics adviser for pushing false claims linked to a recognised conspiracy theory.

Caulfield defended leaflets in which she said her local council was planning to restrict people’s freedom to drive as part of the establishment of a “15-minute city”. That came days before the leader of the Commons warned that spreading such conspiracy theories threatened the health of British democracy.

The Truth About Blue Hydrogen: Green Fuel or Greenwash?
https://www.fractracker.org/2023/02/the-truth-about-blue-hydrogen/

'In conclusion, while blue hydrogen could be misconstrued as a step in the right direction compared to traditional hydrogen production methods, which do not capture the carbon emissions, it is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
