Did he really just say that? Radio host stuns guest into silence

A radio talk show host's insistence that concrete can be grown on trees has left a climate activist speechless.

Insulate Britain's Cameron Ford appeared on Mike Graham's talkRADIO show to discuss the group’s recent protests, the Independent reported.

Asked what he did for a living, Mr Ford said he was a carpenter.

Mr Graham then asked how safe carpentry was for the environment and whether it was compatible with reaching climate goals.

"But you work with trees that have been cut down. How is it sustainable if you're killing trees?" Mr Graham asked.

Mr Ford replied: "Because it's regenerative, you can grow trees."

Mr Graham responded by saying that "you can grow all sorts of things, can't you?".

"Well you can't grow concrete," Mr Ford hit back - before Mr Graham insisted: "Yeah you can."

After a period of silence, Mr Graham terminated the interview.

The radio host was mocked on Twitter after talkRADIO posted a clip.
