Billionaires Afraid of Climate Apocalypse By Richard Miller (London)
Here is a brief note on climate hypocrisy. Billionaire John Caudwell has been warning of a climate apocalypse. But, how credible is such a warning, when he travels by helicopter, highly carbon dioxide polluting, and has massive homes, and a huge yacht? And he is not alone; Bill Gates has the private jet, big homes, but lacks the superyacht. These global elites are aiming for carbon reductions to be from the ordinary people, you and me, while nothing comprises their affluence.

“Billionaire John Caudwell is warning of an “environmental apocalypse” due to CO2 emissions.
Last month, he bragged about using his private helicopter instead of a car to save time on getting back to his £90 million mansion.
He also owns a 73 foot superyacht which belches 1,500 times more CO2 than the average car.”
“While Rishi is hoping voters will be relieved to hear they won’t be whacked with an enormous heat pump bill now he’s relaxed the government’s Net Zero changes, last week’s new policies have, regrettably, done him no favours with one former party donor: Phones4u founder John Caudwell. In an interview to The Sunday Times yesterday, Caudwell fumed over the “depressing” changes, saying:
I’m beyond shocked and I’m horrified. This really moves the Conservatives back a long way. Whatever chance they had of winning the next election, this moves them backwards … it shows inconsistency. It shows [a] lack of determination. It’s depressing.”
This is of course the same John Caudwell who was briefly ‘stranded’ at his Staffordshire mansion because his helicopter couldn’t take off in high winds, and who confessed to ‘underpaying’ for his super-yacht, which he apparently felt “really sad” about. Which one spouts more hot air? The 73-metre yacht, or the man who owns it?
