“Activists have just dragged Tony Blair over his rampant climate denialism”

by The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour

“In the early hours of 13 May, dozens of unofficial #adverts appeared across north London in response to Tony Blair’s comments on net zero policy. Campaign group #Climate #Resistance installed the adverts to call out Blair for being bankrolled by billionaires and petrostates”

Canary · Activists have just dragged Tony Blair over his rampant climate denialismTony Blair and his organisation got the brandalism treatment as activists installed adverts to call out their rampant climate denialism.

‘If the prime minister is really preparing to go into battle for #NetZero, as he promised, his real difficulties may lie not with #Reform’s surge, his own backbenchers, or even the #Green party’s ecopopulists. He needs to look next door.’

The Guardian · After Blair’s bombshell, will Labour stick with or abandon net zero?By Fiona Harvey

“Many situate Blair’s otherwise incomprehensible position with the allegiance of his largest donor, Larry Ellison, a Trump-affiliated tech billionaire who, as of January 2024, had given $100m to the TBI and pledged to take his donations up to $375m.” 🤮 #Blair

"To cap it all, Tony Blair had just published a report on climate policy that even his best friends might consider to have been “unhelpful”. Tony is a former politician who is unable to go gently into the dark night. Eighteen years after stepping down as prime minister, he still yearns for relevance."

That man and his institute are desperately trying for relevance and it's embarrassing.

Am I alone in never having considered Tony #Blair progressive or of the Left?

Nor did I consider him the brains of his outfit at Number 10…

The lack of ideology and obsession with power over policies does strike me as similar to #Starmer.

“This new report [from Tony #Blair Institute] is muddled and misleading.

There is far more progress being made around the world to #decarbonise the global economy than it suggests.

For instance, China is the world’s leading producer and domestic deployer of #renewables and #EVs. Its power generating capacity from renewables has now exceeded that of fossil fuels and its emissions are likely to peak in the next two years.”

Quand on s'étonne des positions bien peu de gauche de Keir #Starmer le PM britannique, il faut savoir qu'il se présente comme blairiste. Oui mais Tony #Blair n'est juste qu'un gros porc au service des intérêts des puissances financières les plus offrantes, comme une compagnie pétrolière saoudienne ou la dictature du kazakhstan. Mais son plus gros sponsor demeure le milliardaire Larry Ellison par ailleurs précieux soutien de Donald #Trump

“Tony #Blair has decided to mimic Nigel #Farage on #NetZero and sounds like he is speaking on behalf of petro-states like Saudi Arabia & Kazakhstan for whom he has lobbied for more years than he was PM.

It is vital that the government distance itself from this latest dodgy dossier from Blair and turn its attention instead to what the Climate Change Committee is saying today. Their report could not be clearer: we are woefully unprepared for the impacts of climate breakdown”

‘#Starmer says #Blair's #ClimateCrisis views are in line with government policy
Sammy Wilson (DUP) says Starmer’s net zero policy “is not only bad, it is mad”. Even Tony Blair says so, he says.

Starmer says Blair said there should be more #CarbonCapture. The government agrees. He called for more use of #AI. That is happening too, he says. And Blair said domestic targets were needed too, he says.’

A reminder of how the Tony #Blair Institute came to be and the tentacles of its power, particularly around the current #Starmer #Labour government…

‘The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) has exploded in size and revenue during the last few years. Its accounts show it made over $81m (£65m) in revenue in 2021, a 78% increase on the previous year.’
