https://order-order.com/2026/09/18/former-mi6-chief-savages-british-net-zero-policy/> Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, spoke at the Global Warming Policy Foundation this week to warn about Net Zero. Didn’t hold back…
> Dearlove was Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 to 2004 some of his choice quotes:
> On the state of UK energy policy: “I do not think that government has an energy policy; perhaps it has a climate policy… [a] policy [that] falls into the category of extracting sunbeams from cucumbers.”
> On the security threat vs. climate change: “The most pressing threat to this country is not man-made climate change… There is no simple link between cancelling Rosebank and stopping wildfires.”
> On Britain’s vulnerability: “As a country we have been drifting and we are dangerously exposed… the answer, my friends, is certainly not blowing in the wind. It has been more a finger in the wind.”
> On who is to blame: “We are not the victims of a conspiracy to make us vulnerable. We have quite casually done this to ourselves.”
