EXPOSED: How a shadowy network funded by foreign millions is making our household energy bills soar - for a low-carbon Britain

Shadowy pro-green lobbyists working at every level of the Establishment Organisations are channelling tens of millions of pounds into green policies Elite lobby group linked to Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the WWF Current energy policies shaped by the Green Blob will cost up to £400billion If continued, there will be further eye-watering energy bill rises for Britons

The Mail on Sunday today exposes how a ‘Green Blob’ financed by a shadowy group of hugely wealthy foreign donors is driving Britain towards economically ruinous eco targets.

The phrase the ‘Green Blob’ was coined by former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson after he was sacked from the Cabinet in July.

He was referring to a network of pro-green lobbyists working at every level of the British Establishment, who have helped shape the eco policies sending household energy bills soaring.

But investigations by this newspaper reveal the Blob is not just an abstract concept.

We have found that innocuous-sounding bodies such as the Dutch National Postcode Lottery, the American William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Swiss Oak Foundation are channelling tens of millions of pounds each year to climate change lobbyists in Britain, including Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.

The most significant source for the ECF’s millions is a body called Climate Works – a private foundation which channels colossal sums to climate campaigners worldwide.

There they are.. the one's hoping to become the world's first trillionaires.

Yeah, he’s so scared of Global warming that he bought a $9,000,000 home on the coast.

I have talked to the editor of Mail on Sunday. It is different from the regular Daily Mail. Good on them for doing some investigative reporting.

Midterm elections: Why environmental groups are backing Republicans

Hoping to make climate change a bipartisan issue, environmental groups are endorsing Republicans and moderate Democrats in the midterm elections. The strategy is a pragmatic shift for green groups, who have more money and clout in this election than ever before.

Imagine what could be accomplished if all of that money and human capital could be used to solve problems that actually exist.

On July 30, 2014 the US Senate minority called out these “shadowy billionaires” by name in a scathing report. Here’s the PDF link. It’s a great read. Interesting how the Brits are now picking up on the same theme. http://www.epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Files.View&FileStore_id=8af3d005-1337-4bc3-bcd6-be947c523439
