Disturbing record of Labour’s Net Zero guru

Net Zero Watch has just published a review of the record of the Climate Change Committee (CCC). Under the leadership of Chris Stark, the CCC has been beset by scandal, with numerous reports of conflicts of interest among its members, and cynical misleading of Parliament and the public through deceptive financial modelling.

This week, Mr Stark was appointed to head the new Government’s ‘Net Zero Mission Control’ organisation.

Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:

Our report outlines scandal after scandal after scandal at the Climate Change Committee. It’s hard to imagine anyone less appropriate than Chris Stark to be guiding government policy in this area.

The Net Zero Watch report outlines:

• CCC chairman Lord Deben’s interests in green businesses;

• the conflicted roles of CCC members Dr Rebecca Heaton, Baroness Brown, and others;

• the absurd assumptions used in its financial modelling, for example that the cost of an EV is already far below the cost of a petrol car, and that there would be almost no windless days in 2050.
