3. The Net Zero APPG is considered progressive and is aimed at promoting green energy and reducing UK's carbon emissions.
4. The same progressive APPG and several others, supposed to be committed to environmental concerns, have undisclosed associations with oil and gas companies.
5. These discoveries raise questions about the real motives and influences behind these groups, suggesting that the industries they are meant to regulate might be manipulating their actions.

The Net Zero APPG is led by Labour MP Alex and has been hailed as a progressive enterprise, aiming to promote green energy sources and reduce the UK’s carbon footprint. However, this analysis revealed that this group, along with several others focusing on energy and the environment, has undisclosed connections to oil and gas companies. These findings raise questions about the true goals and influences of such groups, suggesting that they might be influenced by the very industries they are supposed to regulate.
