The Daily Telegraph reports that Lord Stern is to head a Conservative Party vision of a "green bank" which will "help create the Conservative vision of a bank designed to channel public and private money into funding green business plans and technologies".
The newspaper helpfully provides a background link to a report from October 2006, outlining Stern's role in influencing Labour's 'man made global warming' turned 'climate change' policies on "green taxes on cars, fuel, air travel and consumer electronics to curb pollution and avert a looming global catastrophe caused by climate change".
The same archive report reminds us that "Al Gore, the former US vice-president and a leading advocate of tackling climate change, [had] agreed to act as [Gordon Brown's] adviser" on such issues.
In response to the 2006 Stern Report, it was reported that Gordon Brown would "call for a global carbon market, and promise to set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a new climate change Bill."
This weekend, the Sunday Telegraph reported that the Stern Report "was changed after being published". The report accused the Stern Report of having similar problems as the IPCC's dodgy dossier. It claimed: "Information was quietly removed from an influential government report on the cost of climate change after its initial publication because supporting scientific evidence could not be found".
If comments on Lord Tebbit's most recent blog are any gauge, a lot of traditional Conservative supporters - already angry at David Cameron and the Conservative Party's broken promises and rhetoric concerning the European Union - are also uncomfortable with Cameron's leadership sailing wholeheartedly into the green lobby.
Many of those posting on Lord Tebbit's blog are identifying themselves as traditional Conservative voters who are vowing to vote for UKIP until the Conservative Party returns to more traditional Conservative policies.
Lord Tebbit writes: "I am not daft enough to think that those who post comments on this site (especially in the small hours of the morning) constitute a statistically accurate sample of the electorate, but I hope that Camp Cameron’s patrols pay us a visit now and again."
UKIP, meanwhile, have recently been joined by Lord Monckton - the man who flagged to a global audience most of the flaws in the IPCC report on 'man made global warming' turned 'climate change' several months before the current onslaught of humiliating stories for the IPCC on it's unscientific claims.
Monckton claimed that a proposed draft treaty for discussion at Copenhagen was really using the pretext of 'man made global warming' to set up a global government.
UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom recently attacked many behind some of the worst scaremonger climate stories as 'crooks' - famously dubbing Al Gore as a 'snake oil salesman'.
- Are you a "traditional Conservative" voter? Do you support a "green bank" and "climate change" policies? Let us know!
UPDATE: Posters on Guido seem somewhat unimpressed...
