Green: The New Red

Lord Stern, a noted climate hysteric, is keen to insist that green is not the ‘new red’ and that politics have nothing to do with climate change:

“We must stop saying things like, ‘green is the new red’,” he said, “Climate change has nothing at all to do with left or right issues.”

Inconveniently for Lord Stern, a new left wing pressure group went live in the UK this week. 38 Degrees is a British version of the well known US lefty organization MoveOn.org:

The holding company behind it is called Progressive Majority, which gives the game away. The leading figure is David Babbs, who comes from Friends of the Earth, in fact most of the leading figures and finance are from the green movement.

I imagine that Lord Stern will be Lord Angry if anyone points this out to him.
