"Enjoy your wonderful ocean city because it is really, truly special."

Canadian author Jordan Peterson retweeted one of his posts about fossil fuels, describing him as an “actual African”, in contrast with what Mr Peterson called the “poor, oppressed, useless African” supposedly imagined by “globalist utopians".A US fossil fuel advocate paid for Mr Machogu to travel to South Africa for a conference promoting African oil and gas late last year.

And, just months before, a film crew from the UK travelled to Kisii to interview him for a new documentary that described climate change as an “eccentric environmental scare”.To some, Mr Machogu’s new-found popularity has not come as a surprise.“There’s been a real explosion in fossil fuel development projects in Africa,” says Amy Westervelt, a US investigative climate reporter who covers attempts to obstruct climate policy.

“And because a lot of countries are passing policies that are limiting fossil fuels, Africa is also seen as a big market.“So, it’s very helpful to have people in Africa saying: ‘We want these projects’.”

That is certainly a point Mr Machogu has made - again and again - on social media.

But Dr Kimutai says his promotion of fossil fuels, along with his denial of man-made climate change, could have consequences.She pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving in September and was handed a sentence of eight months in prison, suspended for two years, at Peterborough Crown Court.

She was also ordered to complete 160 hours of unpaid work and disqualified from driving for two years.Det Sgt Craig Wheeler, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "This was a tragic case where a motorcyclist lost his life in a completely avoidable collision."

Mr Roberts' wife, Chelsie, said, in a police statement, that she was having to "face the loss of a vital member of our family, who provided love, care and countless memories"."He was our teacher, our support and a wonderful man who would stop at nothing to make us laugh and to share the wisdom he'd accumulated in his life."
