RE: Aggressive accounting policies may contribute to the downfall of ORIT29 Sep 2025 13:11
A laughable hit piece. Yes there are risks from Reform UK and charlatan Farage's band of swivel-eyed loons and climate science deniers, but the risks are mainly to the UK and our wellbeing rather than ORIT per sé; we will have much bigger problems to worry about should they get in. ORIT can always invest elsewhere. As for dodgy accounting practices, we need concrete evidence not the vague accusations in the article.
You can listen to a net zero and renewable energy sceptic who seems chummy with the clean energy sceptics in the Conservative Party if you want, but I advise caution:
'David Turver is another active anti-net zero poster on X.com and writes a newsletter offering “fundamental analysis of energy policy and net zero”.
On 2 January, he claimed that climate science is “just junk ideology given a fig leaf of respectability by academics and institutions who have their noses in the trough.”
A few days later, Turver said: “Miliband and his supporters are among the most dangerous people in Britain. Net zero is killing the economy.”
The same week he posted: “Ed Miliband, when will you end your obsession with net zero and get coal back on the grid?”
Coal is the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel. In 2021, the International Energy Agency reported that coal power plants still produced a fifth of all global greenhouse gas emissions.
Last July, Turver wrote a report for Net Zero Watch attacking the Climate Change Committee (CCC), the government’s independent advisory body on net zero.
Coutinho has additional ties to the GWPF, its funders, and other climate science deniers. While serving as net zero secretary in January 2024, she received a £2,000 donation from Lord Hintze, a Tory donor and one of the few known funders of the GWPF'.
