Shining a light down the green-woke rabbit holes.

Amid the murky world of climate politics is a constellation of organisations vying for influence, awash with cash, all pushing on the green juggernaut, regardless of what the broader public wants or needs. The public’s views, interests and wishes count very little in any corridors of power, where only the alignment of academia, global agencies, and NGOs is required. Behind the interventions of every fake charity, dodgy academic outfit, and mysterious think tank, are the same-old-same-old weirdo billionaire philanthropists.

But is this unique to climate? This week’s guests has revealed that it surely is not. Charlotte Gill, whose investigations can be found in The Sunday Telegraph, The Critic, the Daily Sceptic, and elsewhere has begun to audit what she calls Woke Waste — the frivolous frittering away of vast amounts of public money on some very odd ‘academic research’. And she has also charted the flows of cash to countless organisations that dominate the public sphere with very particular views on climate change, so-called ‘assisted dying’, Britain’s membership of the EU, and transgender ideology.
