Ben Pile
writer; researcher

Ben Pile is an independent political researcher, film-maker, writer, blogger and contributor to spiked. His writing is focused on energy and environmental politics, and the relationship between science and society. Ben argues that environmentalism is a political idea rather than the face-value response to scientific discoveries it is routinely presented as being by politicians and news media. In early 2021, he produced a report for the Global Warming Policy Forum that investigated the workings of the UK Climate Assembly, which found that the Assembly had been a vehicle for climate bureaucrats, special interests and activist academics rather than the voice of the public.
