British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the United Nations on Wednesday that he did not agree with environmental activists who use climate change as a pretext to attack capitalism.

Addressing the U.N. General Assembly, Johnson said: “I don’t see the green movement as a pretext for a wholesale assault on capitalism. Far from it.”
