This was a leading story on the main BBC news last night. Have you noticed how these stories are pushed out whenever we get a spell of hot weather? They are accompanied by footage of animals sheltering from the heat and dogs and people cooling off in the water. The inference here might be that as the situation appears hopeless, we might as well give up - like someone on a diet who discovers that they haven't lost any weight.
But no, there is still a chance if we keep going we can still make a difference - every scrap of CO2 saved will stop a tiny amount of global warming. People are unconvinced by such arguments. Why should they continue to deprive themselves while other nations wage war and their leaders swan around in private jets to attend conferences to lecture the rest of us? These messages are largely falling on deaf ears.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will start pushing legislation that would fast-track ambitious national projects to boost Canada’s economy, now faced with Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The central role of the RCP8.5 ‘business as usual’ model scenario, much featured in recent IPCC reports has polluted climate model predictions for years with its wild and improbable claims of carbon dioxide emissions and soaring temperatures. A huge number of science papers incorporating the pathway are published by obvious Net Zero activists, and their ‘scientists say’ fairy tales are sped on their way by blinkered journalists in the mainstream press. The science writer Roger Pielke Jr. notes that RCP8.5 has been “falsified” – but Net Zero must not be given up at all costs.

A New York nonprofit bankrolled by Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked entities is at the center of a controversial state climate law that could force fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion over 25 years for climate mitigation projects. The Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC), which received millions from Chinese state-owned banks and Washington taxpayer funds, has aggressively backed the “Climate Change Superfund Act,” sparking a federal investigation and constitutional concerns. Critics argue the law, signed by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul in December 2024, threatens U.S. energy security, inflates consumer costs and represents undercover influence by Beijing to undermine American sovereignty.

Substantial evidence has emerged to suggest that the UK Met Office is promoting the political cause of Net Zero by using recently introduced sensitive thermometers to collect 60-second unnatural heat spikes. These pulses are used to promote constant clickbait ‘records’ and claim exaggerated atmospheric warming.
Furthermore, it appears that these short-term ‘spikes’ are larger in junk sites with massive internationally recognised ‘uncertainties”. Almost eight in 10 of the Met Office’s nationwide temperature measuring stations are in junk CIMO Classes 4 and 5 with possible errors up to 2°C and 5°C respectively.
For years business leaders have been encouraging the government to proceed with their net zero policy and now they have realised that the result is ever higher energy prices which are hitting businesses, making them uncompetitive. Be careful what you wish for!

The reliance on gas power for data centers is a departure from previous thought, said Larry Fink, founder of global investment firm BlackRock, speaking to a crowd of industry executives at an oil and gas conference in Houston in March.
About four years ago, if someone said they were building a data center, they said it must be powered by renewables, he recounted. Two years ago, it was a preference.
“Today?” Fink said. “They care about power.”

The surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gained 622 billion tons of new ice and snow since September 1. This is the most in at least eight years, and is far above the the 1981-2010 average.
Question Time last week was a car crash for the corporation, with chairman Fiona Bruce interrupting Richard Tice, the Reform Party MP, to contradict his contention that only 4% of carbon dioxide emissions are manmade. Thirty percent was the correct figure, she boldly asserted. Unfortunately, Tice was right, and she was wrong, so the Corporation’s gophers got to work and quietly edited the recording to remove her gaffe. Unfortunately someone noticed, and sceptics had a field day. A few days later, when Nick Robinson had Tice on his Political Thinking podcast. They decided, somewhat surprisingly, to take up cudgels on exactly the same subject, namely the human influence on climate.
Once again, Tice expained that human emissions were dwarfed by natural ones, and there was no attempt to probe this argument more deeply. Afterwards Robinson tweeted a clip from the interview with the comment:
"He’s denying the scientific consensus that climate change is partly man made & can be slowed or halted.”
Tice’s words clearly implied that he thought mankind affected the climate, but only marginally.
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the “AMOC,” is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate by transporting heat from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere, says Caltech @ Eurekalert.
The AMOC also modulates regional weather, from the mild summers in Europe to the monsoon seasons in Africa and India. Climate models have long predicted that global warming will cause the AMOC to weaken, with some projecting substantial weakening amounting to a near-collapse relative to the AMOC’s strength today.
Such a weakening would have far-reaching consequences, including changes in regional sea level rise and major shifts in regional climate, such as colder conditions in northern Europe and drier weather in parts of the Amazon and West Africa.
However, a new study from Caltech finds that although the AMOC will weaken under global warming, it is likely to do so to a much lesser extent than current projections suggest.

Over all it adds up to a massive $370 billion.

We need to remember that the whole climate scare depends on the amount of warming and so the accuracy of temperature readings is vital. It all hinges on a ramshackle bunch of often poorly sited, badly maintained weather stations from which the Met Office claim "record" temperatures with an accuracy of one hundredth of a degree! It would make a good comedy. We could call it "It Ain't Half Hot Mum", or has that title already been used?

Last year the UK Met Office was shown to be inventing long-term temperature data at 103 non-existent weather stations.

Citizen super sleuth Ray Sanders issued a number of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to learn the identity of these correlating sites but has been told that the information is not held by the Met Office. So the invented figures for the non-existent sites are supposedly provided by stations that the Met Office claims it cannot identify and are presumably not recorded in its copious computer storage and archive

Details of the £1.5 billion Project Njord are to be found in the recently-published Ministry of Defence Acquisition Pipeline document. Seven separate amounts of £210 million under the heading “The procurement of Mitigation Solution(s) to negate the adverse effects of offshore wind farms on AD radars” are being given to RAF radar stations from Saxa Vord in Shetland to Portreath on the coast of Cornwall.
The radar problem might eventually have to be solved by a costly transfer of ground facilities to the air. Professor Justin Bronk is a leading expert on air power and technology and he recently noted that unless there was a “breakthrough” in mitigating the effect of wind turbines on ground-based radar, “Britain is going to need a more capable airborne detection service”.
The article linked below contains a few graphs which illustrates exactly why we should not trust the headlines put out by the Met Office. Exaggeration is a form of lying, by not including all the background data.

It is high time they were seriously taken to task very publicly over this, but no one wants to do it.

Unreliable UK Met Office Peak Temperature Records: The Airport Runway Problem
Author: Paul Burgess, B.Sc., M.Sc., Retired Environment Engineer and Water Resources Engineer, Specialisation in Hydro-Climatology Abstract The UK Met Office’s claimed record high temperatures, notably 40.1°C at Heathrow and 40.3°C at Coningsby in 2022, are unreliable due to unaddressed biases at airport runway sites.
These records, widely publicised as evidence of extreme climate events, fail to account for the urban heat island (UHI) effect, ventilation issues, and sensor calibration problems inherent to airport environments. Estimates suggest the true temperature at Heathrow was likely 36.9-37°C, significantly lower than reported. Furthermore, the Met Office’s use of data from non-existent stations and statistically impossible 33-year averages for short-lived sites casts significant doubt on their data integrity.
This paper argues that the consistent occurrence of record highs at airports is not coincidental but a direct result of these unmitigated factors, amplified by uncritical media reporting. Introduction The UK Met Office has reported unprecedented temperature records in recent years, with 40.1°C at Heathrow and 40.3°C at Coningsby in July 2022 marking the first instances of temperatures exceeding 40°C in the UK. These figures, set at airport runways, have been broadcast globally as milestones in climate history, driving narratives of escalating climate change. However, critical examination reveals that these records are unreliable due to three unaddressed factors: the UHI effect, inadequate ventilation, and potential sensor calibration errors. Compounding this, evidence from
Freedom of Information (FOI) requests highlights the Met Office’s inclusion of data from 103 non-existent stations and the use of 33-year rolling averages for stations operational for as little as 8 years. The consistent siting of record highs at airports underscores a systemic issue, as runway environments amplify these biases. This paper explores these factors and their implications for the trustworthiness of the Met Office’s peak temper
Over the past decade, the UK has seen a rapid deployment of renewable energy sites. Solar and wind farms are being rolled out at scale and, on the surface, it’s a clean, green revolution. But step behind the glossy headlines and you’ll find an uncomfortable truth: the power infrastructure supporting these sites is being built to a dangerously low standard.
This isn’t just about cutting corners – it’s about systemic failure in how we treat the backbone of renewable power delivery.

A new scientific paper by Paul Burgess shows how the scientific literature shows that many of the alarming claims pushed by the mainstream media are simply not supported by the scientific facts. Paul has used AI to search for the papers and here are his findings:
When you read about this latest wind farm scandal it shows just how wasteful the rush to achieve net zero actually is. Not only that, but the policy is not even achieving net zero. It is merely posturing and pretending to be doing something, when in practice it is destroying natural peat bog and costing a lot of money to produce a very low yield of electricity.
Rather than producing electricity at a load factor of around 50 per cent, as forecast and promoted by owner SSE Renewables, the Viking Energy wind farm has so far been churning out electricity at a rate of just 17 per cent of what is potentially possible.
The 103-turbine project became operational in summer last year.
The average load factor for onshore wind farms in the UK currently stands at 26.34 per cent. Read the details here:

Many people would accept that there are times when it is ok to tell a lie, but some issues are so important that a lie is completely unacceptable. In climate change the costs are so high that we must insist on the whole truth. One new way of distorting the truth (AKA lying) is the attempt to claim that extreme weather events have been made a certain percentage worse by climate change. This is called a noble lie because it is in their mind a lie in a noble cause. These are known as climate attribution studies. This is when a particular extreme weather event is studied and then said to have been made much worse by human climate change. This article explains it clearly:
Insulation was installed in 14 homes in Yorkshire, at a cost of up to £44,000 per house, for the research conducted by Leeds Beckett University for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).

Why do these state-run weather departments carry on issuing data for temperature stations which no longer exist?
The United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) was established to provide an “accurate, unbiased, up-to-date historical climate record for the United States,” NOAA states, and it has recorded more than 100 years of daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations across the United States.
The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of USHCN’s stations don’t exist anymore.
“They are physically gone—but still report data—like magic,” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, a certified consulting meteorologist.
“NOAA fabricates temperature data for more than 30 percent of the 1,218 USHCN reporting stations that no longer exist.”

‘In fact, floods we call unprecedented may be nowhere near the most extreme that have happened in the past.’

People who want you to believe that there is a climate crisis are determined to show that sea level is rising at an increased rate - in other words accelerating. There have been a number of models made which, the makers claim, show that it is accelerating, but there is one big problem for them - none of the world's long-running tide gauge data show an acceleration. This fact is ignored by the mainstream media and hence the public.
In his latest video Paul Burgess interrogates the latest AI tool called Grok AI Beta 3 to see what it can find. Interestingly, at first it comes up with the "mainstream answer", but when you ask it to dig a bit deeper and only look at the actual data it changes its tune and becomes a staunch sceptic. Here is the link:
We already have the highest electricity prices in the developed world and UK and European gas prices are many times higher than those in the US and Canada. We simply cannot afford any more whacky projects that push up energy costs even more. In fact we should be going in the opposite direction and declaring an energy emergency to bring energy costs down.
Green Hydrogen to Increase Gas Bills – Watts Up With That?
This government must have a death wish by driving up prices with every policy. There is no way they will get re-elected if they keep going like this. They seem to be totally obsessed with achieving net zero no matter what.

There is a gradual, sinister removal of our freedom to move freely going on in some of our cities and it is happening without the publicity that you might expect. Suddenly roads are being closed off and routes through some cities are no longer possible. It has happened in London, and this has attracted publicity, but it is also going on in Oxford and Birmingham and Bristol, as explained in this short video below. The reason given is to reduce CO2 emissions, except that it does not - it does the opposite, as people have to take much longer routes to get to where they want to go. There are some people in local government who have an agenda, which is to control the people. Time for voters to find out who they are and vote them out!
If it ain't right... Do it at night. This Bristol thing is INSANE.
For many across the world, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to exit the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) is a sign that central banks can refocus on their primary mandates: stabilizing economies, controlling inflation and fostering growth.

A powerful committee of MPs has warned that they have concerns about our ability to keep the power on, as a result of the measures to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2030. It is yet another sign that we are getting close to the point where power outages become likely.

Paul has made a new video showing his frustration about a discussion on GB News. As he explains, there are so many people who are completely indoctrinated with the idea that CO2 is a sort of pollution that they seem to have completely over looked the fact that it is actually essential plant food.

It appears that some slavery can be over-looked if it is in a good cause, like making solar panels which will give the appearance of going towards net zero (even though no hope of actually reaching it!)

The payment is to compensate for damages and losses from protests in 2015 and 2016 that damaged and delayed the North Dakota Access Pipeline. The protests were so large and so out of control, the clean up bill cost North Dakota $38 million dollars. So finally the oil companies have turned the tide in the USA.

The price of fitting an air-source heat pump increased by 33pc, from £9,686 to £12,951 in the six years to January 2025, according to Telegraph analysis of data from the trade standards body, MCS. This is hardly going to encourage many to change from gas to heat pumps, so what form of persuasion will they try next?
