CLIMATE crisis sceptics often refer to a manipulative 'green blob' that controls our institutions. Whenever a radical policy is announced, we are told to follow the money.
This may be true, but financial incentives do not adequately explain why the powers-that-be are determined to diminish our quality of life. Undoubtedly, the pseudoscientific dogma of anthropogenic climate change has led to a massive redistribution of wealth from the ordinary people to the elite, but money isn't everything.
Hungarian oligarch, George Soros, gained notoriety in Britain in 1992, when he made a fortune by shorting on the pound, causing the UK to leave the European exchange rate mechanism. Soros was dubbed 'the man who broke the Bank of England', and the Conservative government lost its reputation for economic management.
Meanwhile, Soros was influencing governments across the world through his Open Society Foundations. Although he is associated with open borders and 'woke' identity politics, he has also had a major impact in pushing the Net Zero agenda. In April 1996, Tony Blair, preparing for power, visited New York and Washington. As well as members of Bill Clinton's administration and newspaper editors, he met Soros for private talks at the New York Plaza Hotel.
This relationship culminated in the Climate Change Act 2008, with its stupendous target of 80 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2050. Blair's environment minister from 2006 to 2007 was David Miliband, who wrote the bill with Soros's guidance.
David and brother Ed are sons of the Marxist scholar, Ralph Miliband, and Soros took them under his wing. After Blair gave way to former Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown, who became Prime Minister in 2007, Ed was given ministerial charge of the renamed Department of Energy & Climate Change.
