To be fair, it is mentioned. To be critical, it's mentioned in the 8th paragraph of a 13 paragraph article. Conversely, the very first paragraph is pure lede.

To be fair, it is mentioned. To be critical, it's mentioned in the 8th paragraph of a 13 paragraph article. Conversely, the very first paragraph is pure lede. The title and opening paragraph could be seen as discouraging the reading of the rest of the article. It's like the opposite of an online recipe - it's brutally efficient. Odd for The Guardian which, as far as I understand it, is (somewhat) left leaning and I'd normally slightly correct for bias towards environmentally conscious perspectives.
