Wow, now Goldman Sachs runs both Canada and England (while Russia runs the United States).

"Who is Mark Carney, the next prime minister of Canada?...

"Carney ran the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. After helping Canada manage the worst impacts of the 2008 financial crisis, he was recruited to become the first non-Brit to run the Bank of England since it was founded in 1694.

"In 2020, he began serving as the United Nations’ special envoy for climate action and finance.

"Carney is a former Goldman Sachs executive. He worked for 13 years in London, Tokyo, New York and Toronto, before being appointed deputy governor of the Bank of Canada in 2003."

Chris Packham Forces UK Government to Reconsider Green Pledge

https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/chris-packham-forces-uk-government-to-reconsider-green-pledge

Rishi Sunak announced in 2023 that he would drop green policies from the UK’s Carbon Budget Delivery Plan (CBDP), including:

  • a transition away from petrol, and diesel free cars and vans by 2030.
  • the phasing out of new and replacement gas boilers by 2035.
  • a ban on installing fossil fuel heating in homes not connected to the gas grid from 2026.
  • the policy to require all privately rented homes to be EPC band C or better for all new tenancies from 2025 and all tenancies from 2028.

Chris Packham legally challenged this abandonment of green policies.

A settlement has been agreed between Packham and the now-Labour UK Government in which it has confirmed that the previous government had acted unlawfully, and that it will reconsider its CBDP green agenda by May 2025.

The law firm representing Packham, Leigh Day, have published an article on this welcome news including quotes from Chris.
