As kids worldwide strike for action on climate change, James and Tom take a look at a group who doesn\\u2019t share their sense of urgency: Europe\\u2019s far right.

The UK Independence Party has a long history of denying climate science while Marine Le Pen of the French National Rally uses global warming to whip up fears about mass arrivals of refugees.

In Hungary, the Fidesz party of Prime Minister Viktor Orban broadly accepts the need to reduce emissions but does little to contribute to reaching that goal.

The picture can vary markedly from country to country as a recent report by Adelphi, a German research organisation, demonstrates. Click here for Adelphi\\u2019s deep dive mapping climate agendas of right-wing populist parties in Europe.

We also take another listen to our interview from December with Bas Eickhout, the Dutch green who\\u2019s vying for a top job in Brussels.

Eickhout shares his thoughts on the far-right's climate record and he talks about the bungled tax on fuel that helped spark the huge yellow vests protests in France.
