Of course they do. Because they don't actually believe any of that climate change nonsense. Any more than they believe in mask or the not-vaccine. It's just one more way to demonstrate the difference between them and the peasants. Rules are for the little people. The UK press is only reporting it because they are part of the machinery of grinding it into your face every day.
Even if they believe the nonsense, they think the solution is for all their underlings to eat the bugs, sleep in the pods, and own nothing; so they can eat filet mignon, sleep in a mansion, and own everything.
If they are going to take our freedoms I'll do everything I can to salt the earth, so they'll die with us.
We have seen this all before. This will not end well for them. History might not necessarily repeat itself, but it does often rhyme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q82twrdr0U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It3Ny7IY7jA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTGwhMnY4N4
