Greg Barker, climate change [swindle] minister: 'We cannot go on relying on foreign fuel' - Telegraph

...
The 43-year-old believes Britain could become the “Saudi Arabia of renewable energy” by investing in offshore wind, wave and tidal sources.
...
“We are absolutely convinced we have to move rapidly to decarbonise our economy, but we are not in the business of scaremongering. We are in the business of promoting the opportunities this will create for the green economy,” he says.
...
Mr Barker is committed to cutting carbon emissions but, unlike his predecessors in office, he doesn’t dismiss climate-change sceptics as “flat-earthers” – there are too many of them on the back benches for him to do that.
The American Spectator : Al Gore and the Media Protection Racket
Rule One for Establishments everywhere is: don't rock the boat.

And by not publishing what was a verifiable fact -- which is to say news -- that a police report existed placing one of the most powerful people in the American and global Establishment at the scene of a disturbing potential sexual crime, the Tribune signaled on just which side of the power equation it sees itself as sitting. By remaining silent, it was effectively heading off an investigation into Gore's activities from any manner of other media outlets with more resources at their disposal than those available to a small Oregon paper.
