Campaign group Net Zero Watch has welcomed the resignation of Chris Stark, the chief executive of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), but says he should have been fired years ago.
Stark controversially oversaw the preparation of the Net Zero report, which was the economic and scientific justification for the complete decarbonisation of the economy, but was subsequently shown to have been a deception.[1]
Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:
Extraordinarily, it seems that Mr Stark may be moving to an even more lucrative position in the Green Blob, as CEO of the Carbon Trust. But according to Mr Montford, the appointment raises ethical concerns:

Climate Change Committee boss “should have been fired”

Campaign group Net Zero Watch has welcomed the resignation of Chris Stark, the chief executive of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), but says he should have been fired years ago.
Stark controversially oversaw the preparation of the Net Zero report, which was the economic and scientific justification for the complete decarbonisation of the economy, but was subsequently shown to have been a deception.[1]
Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:
The public have remunerated Mr Stark to a total of over a million pounds over his term of office, an astonishing sum for running an organisation with a staff of around 40 people. In return, he oversaw the production of a “dodgy dossier” of policies that have led to the ruin of the economy. It’s good that he is gone, but he should have been summarily dismissed many years ago.”
Extraordinarily, it seems that Mr Stark may be moving to an even more lucrative position in the Green Blob, as CEO of the Carbon Trust. But according to Mr Montford, the appointment raises ethical concerns:
Mr Stark’s colleague at the CCC, Baroness Brown, has apparently appointed him to run the Carbon Trust, where she is chairman, and where the last CEO earned over £400,000. It’s clear that these eco-quangocrats are just lining their pockets. Claire Coutinho needs to institute a programme of reform of all these institutions. It’s obscene, the way ministers allow them to rip us all off.
