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 Green Blob's incestuous network of commercial interests makes it difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Lords Science and Technology Committee's report on long-term energy storage is tainted, says David Turver.
The Climate Change Committee has just released its 2024 report and its full of contradictions, reports David Turver. Reducing our reliance on oil and gas and making electricity cheaper are incompatible policy objectives.
Outgoing Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee Chris Stark has accused Net Zero sceptics of waging a "culture war". Not really, says Ben Pile, but the way politicians are pushing it we could end up in civil war.
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has written in the Telegraph to counter "ludicrous claims" that pursuing Net Zero will boost the economy and drive growth, calling it "patently not true and wishful thinking".
Opposition to Net Zero has belatedly been pushing through, but there is a long way to go. The MPs now standing up for realism could start by coming clean about the inner workings of the green blob, says Ben Pile.
The head of the Government’s climate watchdog told officials to “kill” a negative news story with “technical language”, FOI documents reveal.
The Climate Change Committee's Net Zero plan involves pumping compressed CO2 with the energy of 500 Hiroshima bombs into the ground under our feet every year. Are they mad?
After being caught using data from just one windy year to convince MPs to vote for Net Zero, the Climate Change Committee has been found spinning yet more half-truths and fairy tales to dupe Parliament.
The revelation that the U.K.'s ambitious climate target is based on just one unusually windy year's data threatens to unravel the credibility of the whole Net Zero project.
