£8.6 million spent on government climate propaganda
The Taxpayers Alliance published new research today revealing how the British government’s “Act on CO2″ campaign cost the taxpayer £8.6 million in grants issued through the Climate Challenge Fund.
Matthew Sinclair, Research Director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said:
“The Government has clearly crossed the line from public information to propaganda on climate change. Many of the Climate Change Fund projects are utterly bonkers and misleading, and come with a huge price tag. Despite a fortune having been spent on these projects, the Fund has failed even on its own spurious terms. It is infuriating for taxpayers to see their money squandered on attempts to scare and indoctrinate the public.”
