What does not get media coverage is the extent to which western governments are funding alarmism. ( of the top 10 "environmental charities" (Greenpeace being, allegedly, the exception) get 70% of their dosh from the EU (the EU originally suggested 50% but they said they could not work with such stingy funding). There are also grants from UK government, councils quangos and "N"GOs. All in all it looks like the eco "charitable" movement is almost entirely funded by western governments to promote scares. Of the dozens of world destroying eco-scares, obviously, not 1 has proven truthful. On the other hand every one has allowed government to enhance its power.
There may, or may not, be some truth to the attack on Putin (the lack of any actual evidence being produced suggests not) but the unreported but undisputed facts about our own government's totalitarian scaremongering is clearly far more important. The fact that it is being censored simply proves its importance
gscales631 No one bats an eyelid when renewables companies invest in these protest groups. We almost seem to think that it is expected. They stand to make millions upon millions if fracking goes ahead though so there is still a clear conflict of interest. Now imagine if energy companies invested in protest groups outside wind farms, or Greenpeace HQ.
I am a geologist. I have drilled about 115 wells including many in the UK. I know for a fact that the protesters mostly know nothing about drilling. It is easy to tell by what they say.
What bugs me most though is that if an energy company makes a leaflet about fracking it is pretty much guaranteed to be sent to the ASA with a list of things they disagree with. Yet somehow they can stand in the middle of the street with posters and banners or in the middle of town centres with giant canvases saying things to scare people which are not accepted by the majority of scientists and they get away with it time and again.
