A billionaire bidding to build an “environmentally friendly” Highland golf course on protected sand dunes has been branded a “Trumpian climate denier”
giant, ExxonMobil, planned to hold a “climate reality” event during the COP26 international climate summit in Glasgow. Heartland’s events series has previously been used to challenge the scientific consensus on man-made climate change.
In 2013, he hosted a fundraiser for the Exxon Mobil-funded Heritage Action for America at his golf course in Oregon. The event, which brought together conservative leaders, cost around £12,000 per person. Between 2019 and 2020, Keiser gave around £4800 to Scalise and around £3000 to North Carolina senator Thom Tillis, who in 2017 urged Trump to pull the US out of the Paris Agreement – an international treaty which aims to limit global temperature rises. Trump withdrew the US from the deal but Joe Biden reversed the exit when he became president.KEISER and others launched a bid to build a course in December 2015.
Keiser later came under fire after complaining his plans had been delayed by Scotland’s “extremely restrictive” environmental rules, “bureaucracies” and “people who hate development of any kind”. One of Keiser’s most notable US sites is the Bandon Dunes luxury golf resort on Oregon’s coastline. He also sought to purchase public land nearby to build a new course opposite the Bandon State Natural Area – a designated state park due to its natural beauty.
Keiser had pledged non-refundable money as part of the deal to tackle an invasive plant on the Oregon coast. The state used it, in part, to fix the damage caused by Keiser’s construction crews, according to the Oregonian. “Given the developer’s determination to rip the heart out of the local environment near Embo it should come as no surprise that he has been funding climate denial candidates for election in the United States for years,” said Ariane Burgess, Scottish Greens MSP for the Highlands and Islands.
“This internationally-protected wetland landscape has huge value for residents and visitors seeking to access and enjoy its rare, tranquil dunes. It should not be simply up for sale to the highest bidder.”
