Read my report for the @thegwpfcom on the UK Climate Assembly, which was an obvious and deeply flawed attempt to circumvent democracy.
The Climate Assembly was convened by six parliamentary select committees:
@CommonsTreasury
@CommonsTrans
@CommonsSTC
@CommonsHCLG
@CommonsEAC
@CommonsBEIS
But half of the funding came from two green billionaire "philanthropic" foundations who controlled the event.
Those foundations are the European Climate Foundation (ECF) & the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation (EFF) @EsmeeFairbairn.
(Don't take my word for it - the influence of political organisations in Parliament is supported uncritically by MPs like Darren
The Climate Assembly brought together 108 "randomly selected" members of the public, who heard from speakers chosen by four 'expert leads'.
One of those leads is Chair of @theCCCuk, Chris Stark @ChiefExecCCC.
That's obviously problematic, as the report explains.
The other Leads are:
* @Bankfieldbecky formerly of the @GreenAllianceUK
* @lwhitmarsh, chair of UK Centre for Climate Change & Social Transformations (CAST)
* Former @UKERCHQ chair & chair of @theCCC's Net-Zero Advisory Group, Jim Watson.
No bias there then.

The only poll that counts is a vote.
Until people can vote for or against what Greenpeace and the UN want, opinion polls are for the birds.
"The survey was conducted by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), analysts at the University of Oxford, and NGO partners using a new approach: mobile gaming."
Seriously...
"From October 7 to December 4, 2020, advertisements in popular mobile games like Angry Birds and Words With Friends were replaced by the survey in 17 languages. "
That's not how "the people" express their voices, Greenpeace.
Moreover, it's f***ing weird.
"Survey questions were drawn from a game that puts players in the role of politicians who are trying to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees or less through different policy areas. "
It is therefore self-selecting, you cretins.
"The survey results provide an invaluable asset for world leaders who will come together later this year at COP26, the UN’s annual climate change conference..."
Imagine that! A mandate manufactured out of a computer game that runs on smartphones.
They are insane.

Dear Policy Makers,

The people have spoken.
Free yourself of exploitative interests and do your damn job.https://t.co/isCJc6faOq
