Renewable energy DOUGLAS, Isle of Man, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entering into debate with individuals and organisations who deny climate science is a waste of ‘time, energy, resources and attention’ that must instead be dedicated this year to ‘encouraging action amongst our allies’ who already understand the climate crisis, declares cleantech boss Chris Caldwell in a new article entitled ‘Why I’m swearing off engaging with climate denial in 2023’.
Key Points:
- Since Elon Musk’s takeover, a number of prominent climate deniers saw their follower numbers grow by 5x to 1000x more than their prior monthly growth rates.

Cryptocurrency DOUGLAS, Isle of Man, Jan. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Assessing early-stage companies using Environmental, Social and Governance frameworks is unhelpful, unlikely to succeed and risks obscuring the true positive impacts of start-ups, announced Amory Poulden, founder of D2 Fund, in an episode of Conversations on Climate released today.
Key Points:
- ‘This may be a little bit of a controversial opinion, but I really hate the term ESG,’ Poulden explained.
- Over $37 billion of venture capital was deployed into the climatetech market in 2021, a 250% increase over pre-pandemic levels.
- Both Caldwell – CEO and founder of green energy firm United Renewables – and Poulden were clear on the importance of supporting young businesses dedicated to solving the climate crisis.
