Tail Wagging the Dog (to Death)?

I hope it's only being done for 'completion's sake' but it seems distinctly weird that the UK's Commons Transport Committee is to take 'evidence' from the Alliance of British Drivers (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/21/climate-science-deniers-to-give-road-safety-evidence-to-mps). The Alliance is a tiny (in terms of the actual number of British drivers) campaign group, that describes human-created global warming as a 'myth' and the negative health impacts of vehicle pollution as 'scaremongering'. Their stated priorities are to raise the speed limits for cars and to reduce the numbers of cycle lanes. You almost couldn't make it up. It's a bit like getting flat Earth folk to give evidence on global travel.
