Background

Katie Hopkins is a British media personality and journalist. She is regularly described as a “far-right commentator” and currently writes for FrontPage Magazine, an online political website edited by David Horowitz, an American conservative writer and funder with ties to youth conservative group Turning Point USA.²Ben Quinn. “Tommy Robinson given nine-month jail sentence for contempt of court,” Guardian, July 11, 2019.

Hopkins rose to prominence in 2007 through her appearance on The Apprentice, a BBC reality game show where contestants attempt to prove their business skills to business magnate Lord Alan Sugar. She was subsequently fired from her role as a global brand consultant at the UK’s Met Office after failing to pass a probationary period.⁶“Apprentice contender Katie fired,” BBC News, June 12, 2007.

Over the years, Hopkins has criticised the work of the Met Office saying its scientists’ salaries “depend on climate change being real” and has claimed that she has “seen them scaremongering” and “using data in interesting ways to make the problem seem worse in order to secure funding”. She has also described the idea that “global warming is going to incinerate all of us” as “absolutely nonsense”.⁹Katie Hopkins. “Why are 150 world leaders, 40,000 delegates and all the usual luvvies fiddling around with climate ‘change’ while ISIS makes the world burn?,” Mail Online, November 30, 2015.

Although Hopkins’ personal Twitter page is her principal means of expressing her views, Katie Hopkins has previously written for The Sun, the Mail Online, and radio station LBC.¹¹Adam Payne and Thomas Colson. “Trump regularly retweets Katie Hopkins and called her ‘respectable’ — in reality she is a marginal figure who called migrants ‘cockroaches’ and once claimed to be the ‘the new Jesus’,” Business Insider, August 3, 2019.

Hopkins is known for her controversial views on a number of subjects. She suggested there should be a “final solution” in dealing with terrorists following the 2017 Manchester terror attack, has claimed she would not let her children play with other children with names like Tyler or Chardonnay because “a name is a shortcut of finding out what class a child comes from,” and has compared refugees and migrants crossing the Mediterranean to cockroaches.¹²Heather Saul. “Katie Hopkins urged to apologise for dehumanising column comparing refugees to ‘cockroaches’ after Independent campaign,” Independent, September 3, 2015.

Key Quotes

In a Mail Online column criticising the necessity of COP21, the U.N. climate summit that led to the signing of the Paris Agreement, Hopkins wrote:²⁸Katie Hopkins. “Why are 150 world leaders, 40,000 delegates and all the usual luvvies fiddling around with climate ‘change’ while ISIS makes the world burn?,” Mail Online, November 30, 2015.

Although southern sea ice has increased, scientists believe this is due to “icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent” which play a large role in keeping warmer waters and temperatures away and giving the sea ice a chance to expand. But as the scientists note, it’s not the sea ice that impacts sea level rise, it’s continental ice sheets that they’re worried about and which are being more dramatically impacted by climate change.³²Bob Berwyn. “Why Is Antarctica’s Sea Ice Growing While the Arctic Melts?
