During debates about the Australian bushfires, Lowe made controversial comments about climate science.
In January 2020, during European Parliament debates about the Australian bushfires, Rupert Lowe made controversial comments about climate change.
He stated: 'It's disappointing that climate change has been blamed as the primary cause of these devastating bushfires... The cult of climate change marches on with no definitive science to link this agenda to these terrible bushfires.'
The comments drew criticism from environmental groups but reinforced Lowe's appeal to climate-sceptic voters.
Lowe continues to oppose net zero policies and green energy mandates.
