The Lunacy of Green Finance | James Graham

Pension funds are supposed to invest your money wisely so they can provide a return when you retire. So why are so many of them obsessed with controversial political causes like Net Zero?

In this special episode of the Sceptic, James Graham, Senior Researcher on Financial Freedoms at the Prosperity Institute, exposes the scourge of Environmental and Social Governance, why your pension fund is costing you money by funding Net Zero, his confrontation with green fanatic fund managers and the ongoing dangers of debanking.

Great podcast. The Pensions Regulator requires large pension funds to publish “climate ambitions”, measure emissions of companies or bonds in which they invest. The bureaucracy is horrendous and costs hundreds of millions. Large pension funds have to publish a TCFD report each year (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), which is ridiculous and emanated from a Task Force that Mark Carney headed. There is no climate crisis – it is a vehicle for totalitarian control. Well done Daily Sceptic for bringing this into the open.

Energy policy has nothing to do with the Science, it’s all about the law, English Law, so it’s the lawyers that are involved. This suits the lawyers in Parliament, and the rest of the Arts and Humanities graduates there.

It helps with redefining their Reality and, unfortunately, ours as well.

As an ex fund manager I can tell you these firms and investment professionals have a fiduciary responsibility to try and maximise returns for their investors. If nothing else, green investments are highly speculative and unsuitable for anything but a really tiny proportion of a fund’s assets.

Unfortunately, James has the most boring voice I’ve ever heard. Hats off to anyone who can listen to this without falling asleep within minutes.

Everything today has to be ALIGNED. There is no escape from the shackles of Green Tyranny. If you do not align and comply you are OUT.

Has being transformed gone out of fashion? 🙂

The Fund investment companies like Hargreaves Lansdown and AJ Bell need to wake up and start to get a grip on this potentially catastrophic scam.
There is no Climate Emergency.

Yes, there is no Climate Emergency and, even if there was, the NET Zero policies promoted and enforced by law wouldn’t help the situation.

They will bankrupt the country and destroy it’s industry.

Cant watch. Seems to be two competing voices.
