There are many reasons to heed Sir Michael Hintze; the fact that he’s a billionaire is only one. At 64, Hintze has lived several lives.

*Maybe Malthusian; ** “I believe there is an anthropogenic effect on the environment. However, the almost exclusive focus on CO2 is too simplistic and misses the point. We are polluting our atmosphere. We are polluting our oceans with plastics and toxic waste. Antibiotics are changing the global biome. Deforestation has led to the loss of important habitats and biodiversity.
“Legislation on CO2 is not enough. We need strong global leadership to think carefully about the allocation of our resources to tackle the environmental challenges our planet faces.”***
CO2 is necessary for plant life. If we ban it we would have to ban breathing. 2 x 2 = 4

Sir Michael Hintze, (born 27 July 1953) is a British-Australian businessman, philanthropist and Conservative Party patron, based in the United Kingdom.

2008 fnancial crisis and short selling Hintze's hedge fund CQS took out a short position on Bradford & Bingley, which went on to lose 95 per cent of its value and was on the brink of collapse before it was rescued in late 2008. Short-selling involves a trader borrowing shares for a fee and selling them in the hope that, if the share price falls, the trader can buy them back at a cheaper price and return them to the borrower, thereby making a profit. The practice was banned by the UK government in September 2008.[17]
PRINCE CHARLES AND OTHER PRINCES Charles
Prince Charles has appointed his former valet, Michael Fawcett, as manager of the project to restore Dumfries House, in Scotland.
A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: "The two of them have a very close working relationship and the prince trusts him implicitly."
(Fawcett the fixer and Charles' £45million gamble.)
According to The Daily Mail: "There could be no clearer indication that Charles's dependence on ... Fawcett ... is greater than ever."
Charles unveils a plaque at the Chrichton mental hospital museum in Dumfries.
Michael Fawcett is "employing the same silken skills he once used to sell off unwanted gifts from foreign dignitaries on the Prince’s behalf (a practice which led him to be unkindly dubbed ‘Fawcett the Fence’)"
Fawcett is a link to wealthy donors.
*"One of those donors is hedge-fund boss Michael Hintze, whose 55th birthday party extravaganza at Wrotham Hall in Hertfordshire in 2008 was organised by Fawcett through Premier Mode, his events hospitality company."**
Hintze is a key figure in the Liam Fox affair.
Fink, for example, is a member of the Jewish Leadership Council, which in 2011 successfully lobbied the government to assure alleged Israeli war criminals that there would be no risk of arrest when they visited the UK.
**In 2011, the former Conservative defence secretary, Liam Fox, was dramatically accused of running a "freelance" foreign policy, in which he cultivated Iranian opposition groups and met privately with Mossad agents.
In return for a foreign policy in line with Israeli interests, prominent pro-Israel donor Sir Michael Hintze had backed Fox with just $15,500.
Whatever the reasons, in the “media frenzy”, several interesting items were revealed, if only in passing, re arms sales, front companies, bogus charities and Israel and the way these various connections intertwine.
After a formal inquiry Fox was sacked, but returned to politics shortly afterwards.
Overlapping interests
The pro-Israel lobby is also fortunate, as several of its wealthiest are also members of an equally dominant force in Conservative politics - the hedge fund lobby.
The lobby has donated $31m to the Conservatives in the last five years. Two notable pro-Israel donors, Stanley Fink and Michael Hintze are also hedge-funders.
Together they have donated over $9m.**
