I’d like to bring some points to the attention of your readers that were raised in an article in the Independent published on 11th May 2013 It would appear to indicate a major shift in the UK’s government attitude to climate change.
“The Government is facing an exodus of senior energy and climate change advisers amid growing concerns that decisive action to tackle global warming is falling victim to Treasury intransigence.”
…
“A Government offshore energy industrial strategy document, due to have been published this month, is understood to have been delayed after Treasury objections. At the same time as proponents of renewable energy are leaving, Mr Cameron appears to be surrounding himself with climate change sceptics who are warning him that Britain cannot afford the cost of new renewables.”
….
“Mr Cameron has also appointed the former Tory minister Peter Lilley to his advisory board. Writing in The Spectator this week, Mr Lilley warned that the “green lobby” was “in control of the Department for Energy” and suggested that the case for global warming was far from clear-cut. “Global temperatures have failed to rise for 16 years,” he wrote. “Recent measures of how much global temperature rises as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases are far lower than is built into climate models.”
I find it very surprising that there has been so little reaction to a member of the Prime Minister’s Parliamentary Advisory Board using the phrases “the case for global warming was far from clear-cut.” and “built into climate models.” in the UK national press.

Readers please note, Mr Chris Huhne (and his wife) were released from prison today(two months into his 8 month sentence for ‘perverting the course of justice’). As he is now persona non grata in political circles he is presumed to be going to concentrate on his interests in ‘green energy’, God help us!

The pink champagne on ice

And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Subject: Exit the Carbon Market
Good Afternoon,
You may have been approached by numerous brokers or read about EUA’s and ERU’s
as the new big thing or be advised you cant sell your VER with us or any other
platform, well this is not the case but if you own VER carbon credits now is the
time to look to sell. Prices have dropped 20% already and if the brokers are
trying to sell you something new they must no something you don’t as prices are
predicted to drop further within the market in the up and coming year. The VER
market is a specialist market that deals with the voluntary trading of carbon
credits for the goal of companies voluntarily becoming carbon neutral. This
market has had its ups and downs but people are making profits from exiting it
now and as the future is still uncertain now is a good time to consider your
positioning and look at the options to see some returns before the market drops
further. We are not a broker and we do not sell carbon credits we specifically
cater a platform to show you an exit strategy to sell your VER carbon credits.
We buy in data and run on line marketing campaigns for companies that are
looking into becoming carbon neutral and we help establish the costing to do so
and will offer your credits to achieve this goal. This not only offers liquidity
into the market but exits you as an investor and helps achieve the credits final
goal and make a company carbon neutral. Surprisingly many brokers believe that
exiting the market is an impossible task and that offering credits in this
manner would not be a feasible approach to the market but yet they are still
persistent enough to keep selling you credits on the illusion of profits down
the line. Well profits are achievable now and why wait for an uncertain future
to see returns when this can be achieved now? The VER carbon credits initial
goal was created to offer the small to medium company sector and opportunity to
meet demand of carbon neutrality through public awareness before any regulation
came into play and that is what we are aiding the market in doing. Please feel
free to visit our website or request further information on how we can help exit
you from the market right now.
Regarding EUA’s and ERU’s don’t panic your VER are still a good investment and
many companies are very keen in carbon neutrality but many brokers are trying to
again profit from your good nature, the EUA’s credits are European Union
Allowances and are national allowances issued to power plants only and therefore
makes it a very small sector to actually be able to sell on. The ERU credits are
lower cost credits and have been placed around Eastern European companies where
the cost of reducing emissions is considered lower and again do not have as much
clarity as a VER and again only cover a small market share and are lower profit
credits from the outset. With the talk of new credits and the drop in prices
starting to cause a stir in the market place delays in us achieving our goals is
expected but rest assured we make every effort to be as transparent as we can in
our business model and in no way do we work as a broker or intend to be
affiliated to any brokers and make a conceited effort to confirm we do not sell
carbon credits, we work for the success of our clients, our climate, our
company.
