Ecotricity is Stroud's largest employer.
Extinction Rebellion was founded in Stroud.
Two completely unrelated facts.

The Greater London Authority has been Green for a while:
https://order-order.com/2020/01/27/city-hall-contracts-given-labour-donor-gave-half-million/
"Sadiq Khan has granted lucrative contracts to a firm that donates to his party, Guido can reveal. Ecotricity was handed contracts worth £400,000 of taxpayers’ money every year by the current Mayor. Labour-donor Ecotricity is run by Dale Vince, who has also funded fox-killer Jolyon Maugham’s legal challenge to extend Article 50. Sadiq failed to declare a link to Dale Vince and Ecotricity when the contracts were awarded…

Sadiq has said that Ecotricity now provides all of the electricity for the Greater London Authority. Coincidentally, according to the Electoral Commission, Ecotricity has given £515,000 to the Labour Party since 2014 – £45,000 of this was during Sadiq Khan’s Mayoral bid. Added to this, just before the last mayoral election, Dale Vince was one of the business leaders who signed a public letter in support of Sadiq Khan."

Another Green Scam from California

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/01/27/dc-solar-owners-plead-guilty-to-largest-ponzi-scheme-in-eastern-california-history/

"SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The owners of DC Solar, a Benicia-based company, pleaded guilty today to charges related to a billion dollar Ponzi scheme— the biggest criminal fraud scheme in the history of the Eastern District of California. The government’s investigation has resulted in the largest criminal forfeiture in the history of the District with over $120 million in assets forfeited that will go to victims, and has returned $500 million to the United States Treasury, with more to come, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced."

My suggestion is that Piers Corbyn be recruited as chief climate change adviser.

He would help expose the corruption that finances Climate Science and much of the Green Blob.

Elevated to the House of Lords, he could replace Lord Deben, and explain to the UK's Left, Right, Centre and Liberals where they have been going wrong. The Committee for Climate Change might be reduced appropriately as a consequence.

Dominic Cummings has said that he wants to think outside the box when it comes to government recruitment. My suggestion is that Piers Corbyn be recruited as chief climate change adviser.

"The first firefighters into the flat realised something was wrong
Crew manager Charles Batterbee and firefighter Daniel Brown entered Flat 16 at 01:14 BST. They blasted the fire with a jet of water and then saw the fire had already spread from the kitchen to the outside.

This is the first evidence that Grenfell's refurbishment was contributing to the unfolding disaster. Hot material deformed the uPVC window and that created a cavity through which hot gases escaped."
Also posted on the original Grenfell Tower thread

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51256738
" None of the companies involved in the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower have accepted responsibility for the deadly fire, an inquiry has heard.

Firms expressed "no trace" of accountability despite previous findings that the work did not comply with building regulations, counsel to the inquiry Richard Millett QC said.

His remarks were at the start of the inquiry's second phase, which will look at issues like the block's cladding."

To reopen an old wound. Should you not have the time to watch the whole thing, move to around 28 minutes, and watch another view of what prompted such debate in an earlier thread.

Surely, we should all have learned that we should be discussing FACTS, not opinions.

p.s. I know that there will be some amongst you who will only respond with vitriol, without watching any of the facts presented, let alone some – or even all. Sad.

Almost a year old, but given the political change in climate, a good reason for BoJo to scrap the Committee on Climate Change, funded by Taxpayers, that has benefitted its Chair, Lord Deben, so very nicely.
