Sarah Mukherjee reveals all

Bishop Hill in BBC, Greens

An extraordinary lecture by Sarah Mukherjee, until recently a BBC environment correspondent.

Muckherjee's subject is the attitudes of senior UK politicians to the UK's suicidal Climate Change Act - she concludes that they don't actually take it seriously and that the Act's lack of any meaningful redress for its breach means that it is essentially a dead letter.

There are few climate-related videos that repay watching from beginning to end, but this is certainly worth the investment of time, and not just for Mukherjee's eccentric delivery (she comes across as a sort of a younger Ann Widdecombe).

Look out for the moment where she says she has "worked in environmentalism" for ten years. And the bit when she talks about the Climategate inquiry led by Lord Browne.

And what about the bit where she says that NGOs "paid for most of the science" of climate change? Did I hear that right?
