The Climate Change Committee has appointed Emma Pinchbeck as its new CEO – a 37 year-old humanities graduate with no experience in the energy industry except lobbying. Can the calibre go any lower, asks Ben Pile.
The fount of green propaganda continues to flow, with two new reports from the Green Alliance purporting to link health problems and climate change. Ben Pile reads them so you don't have to and highlights the worst bits.
In place of cheap, reliable energy, Ed Miliband has been busy summoning up green unicorns with taxpayers' cash, says Ben Pile. The latest non-solutions are carbon capture and flywheels. No, they aren't going to work.
As Labour prepares to deliver a Net Zero coup de grâce to the industries that made Britain, there are signs of workers beginning to organise their own defence. But alas, it's doomed to fail, says Ben Pile.
The latest green conspiracy theory is that a £4m donation to Labour allowed Big Oil to get its woman appointed as "climate envoy". But the truth is the opposite, says Ben Pile: it's Big Green that is calling the shots.

Earlier this week, David Lammy said climate change was a bigger threat to our security than terrorism or war. Nonsense, says Ben Pile. The greatest threat to our security is climate policy.

Ed Miliband has just agreed to pay 58% more for renewable energy and barefacedly claimed it will lower bills. The Government's green agenda is based on lies upon lies upon lies upon lies, says Ben Pile.
The RAC's Head of Policy caused a stir this week when he proposed replacing fuel duty with pay-per-mile road charging. There are many problems with this, says Ben Pile, not least its distinct totalitarian whiff.
The Government has cancelled the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners but still plans to splurge £12bn on international 'climate aid'. And that's not even the half of it, says Ben Pile.
