The Global Warming Policy Foundation

As well as its anti-vaccine output under Young, the Daily Skeptic has become one of the most prolific climate change denialist websites in the UK.

It's dedicated, quote, the climate skeptic, end quote, arm, regularly publishes climate change articles misinformation that undermines the UK's climate crisis mitigation responses, including frequently reproducing reports published by the fossil fuel industry-funded Global Warming Policy Foundation.

An investigation from campaign group Democracy for Sale found Toby Young's other organisation, the non-partisan Free Speech Union received significant funding from conservative Christian lobby groups and organizations linked to climate change denial.

The Free Speech Union took out a high court injunction to prevent journalists reporting on their other sources of funding.

Well, Craig, what an excellent voice it is, and I'm really grateful to you for coming on the Free Future podcast and sharing this with us, all your thoughts.

And, um, thank you for everything you're doing on net zero with the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

Thank you for everything you did on Brexit, for being there when it, when, when it really counted.

And if I may say so, thank you for being an inspiration to all of us-

Yeah

If there, if there's a sequence of power cuts and if what Sir Richard Dearlove said in his Global Warming Policy Foundation lecture is correct, we will struggle to get the system back up

Sir Richard Dearlove being, of course, the former head of British Intelligence, pretty serious bloke [laughs]

Pretty serious bloke, and if he's saying we lack some of the key components to get the thing, because people will remember Alok Sharma of the previous Tory government who took great delight in videoing himself blowing up, literally blowing up the, our remaining coal-fired power stations.

And at a Global Warming Policy Foundation meeting-

The man, the minister who burst into tears when the net zero targets were ever so slightly watered down, brushing with reality

Where has Alok gone now that he's ruined our national energy system?

There's footage of him.

And, and their own things.

I mean, y- and nevermore we've done some work recently in the Global Warming Policy Foundation, of which I'm director, looking at what the health service is doing.

It's quite shocking.

They're all off on their own doing even more-

You're in the House of Lords.

Yeah, yeah.

You are directing the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

These are really important things to do.

Now, we are joined by some wonderful guests today.

We have Harry Wilkinson here from the GWPF, from the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Anna Ridgeway representing Students for Liberty, and Ted Granger, who is part of the Fighting for a Free Future team.

Now, let's get into our topics today.

Ted, are we living in 1984? Is this an Orwellian government who's continuously coming for our free speech? Can we speak out anymore?

When I asked the, the reasons behind the dis- the, the demise of our refinery fleet from 18 to four, and the extent to which that demise was due to net zero policies, this person said, "100%." 100% of the reason was because of net zero energy policies, and this is now a m- a major, major security issue.

You rightly over recent weeks have been highlighting a speech, and you wrote about a speech that our good friend Sir Richard Dearlove, who used to be Britain's senior [laughs] spymaster, gave at the Global Warming Policy Foundation about the links between national security and our energy complex.

This is getting really, really serious now, and the sort of green nutters are just gonna have to get out of the way.

The green nutters are gonna have to get out of the way.
