Blackrock Founded UK Govt. Committee On Climate Change: James Skea Rebecca Heaton Vested Interests

Niggling Questions about Princess Diana at Charles' Coronation The Purposeful Path When Princess Diana died in 1997, the intensity of the outpouring of public grief led some to speculate that the monarchy would not survive. I think we might be seeing the repercussions now, in the muted reaction to this weekend’s royal coronation. People queueing to pay their last respects to Diana, Princess of Wales, in August 1997.

I got some strange looks and a rebuttal. I think that event brought about a shift in the way I saw the world. The idea of high-profile assassinations had certainly occurred to me, but the thought of them happening in the UK went against everything I’d been brought up to believe. When I’d heard earlier that year that Diana was campaigning against landmine debris, I was surprised and impressed, and I remember saying to my mum, “She’s really getting into dangerous areas here – someone might want to see her get hurt.” I only half believed this. But when I heard that she’d been killed in a car crash, I thought, “They’ve done it.” I didn’t know who “they” were, but it shifted my perspective on the way I thought about my country and our world.

ZERO CARBON TAXPAYER FUNDED GRAVY TRAIN: Natalie Minnis on ex-Tory party chairman chairman John Selwyn Gummer and the MASSIVE vested interests in the UK government's Committee on Climate Change and at the UN's privatised IPCC. Helicopter money. Drax Exec Quits Climate Change Committee After ‘Glaring’ Conflict of Interest Critics argued that representatives of Drax, which received £832 million from the government last year, should not have a role advising the government on tackling climate change. A senior Drax executive is stepping down from her position on the Climate Change Committee early after questions were raised over a “glaring” conflict of interest. Dr Rebecca Heaton will end her four and half year term on the government advisory group’s mitigation committee around four months early to take up a position at renewable energy company Ovo, the board announced today. In a statement, Heaton said the position had been the “privilege of my career” and that she was “immensely proud of the work we have done to raise climate ambition”.

The 2017 appointment attracted had criticism due to Heaton’s position as head of sustainability and policy at Drax, a company that received £832 million in subsidies from the government last year for biomass generation. “The conflict of interest has long been glaring, but in recent years became blinding,” said Phil Macdonald of energy thinktank Ember. Calling for the CCC to take a fresh look at Drax’s carbon capture plans in the wake of Heaton’s move, Macdonald added: “Drax, one of the country’s largest recipients of ‘green’ public funds, shouldn’t have a role advising the government on the best route to take action on climate change.”
