A CRITICAL REVIEW OF IMPACTS OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Here is a link to the USA Department of Energy's very important paper on the state of climate science. Because of its findings this has been ignored by the mainstream media which seems to be only interested in the "climate emergency" narrative. What cannot be disputed is that the authors are all highly distinguished scientists. It's such a shame that there are so many in positions of power who are so brain-washed that they refuse to listen or read of anything which does not agree with their pre-conceived view.

UN MEDDLING IN INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE LAW

There can be no doubt that the UN is run by left-wing lawyers who want to be the defacto world government. Unless national governments stand up to them they will grab more and more power. Here is their latest attempt to bully the Australian government:

FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK AT THE BRAZIL CoP

The existential climate narrative has always been accompanied by tropes such as the “science is settled” and “we’re past the time to ‘debate’ climate change.” This climate summit in Brazil is raising to a much higher level its attempt to quash free speech and scientific challenges to its climate dogma.

The USA is powering away under President Trump. He and his government are not attending the current CoP event in Brazil, but American reporters are there to inform us of what is happening. It appears that California governor Gavin Newsom takes an opposing view and is expected to run for president in 2028. If a sensible climate policy is to be maintained it is vital that JD Vance is elected and not Newsom.

CAR POLLUTION - IS IT MASSIVELY EXAGGERATED?

The 'war on the motorist' has been going on for several decades. It is generally a very slow process, but with sudden restrictions being put in place, such as the London emissions scheme, ULEZ, Other councils are following suit with similar schemes and parking charges are rising along with restrictions on parking provision. The reason for this is the dual policies of reducing CO2 emissions and reducing pollution. The harm caused is constantly pushed at the public as being very serious, but the following article shows that this is a massive exaggeration.

UK ENERGY SUBSIDIES - A GUIDE TO UNDERSTAND THEM

The energy market, in particular the electricity market, has become increasingly complex with a range of government subsidies used to promote renewable energy. How do these work and what do they cost? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the informative article below. The subsidies are now costing an eye-watering £14 billion a year, making our electricity the most expensive in the world.

NEW MOTORING TAX ON THE WAY

The Telegraph explain how the system will work:

While the specifics are still discussed, The Telegraph can reveal that the scheme would be aligned to the annual payment of vehicle excise duty (VED), which affects all UK motorists. EV drivers have had to pay the charge since April.

The new element is being described as “VED+” and being framed as a way to get drivers of green cars to pay more each year.

EV drivers will be asked to estimate the number of miles they will drive in the year ahead and pay a fee, set in the current plan at 3p per mile.

AUSSIES TO GET 3 "FREE" HOURS OF ELECTRICITY

So many homes in Australia have installed solar panels that in the middle of the day they have to give it away to encourage people to use it. Of course it comes at a cost elsewhere in the system as nothing can be truly free and some other people are paying for it. Once subsidies are introduced the whole market becomes distorted.

PEACEFUL PROTEST OR CRIMINAL DAMAGE?

Recently a court cleared climate change protestors of causing criminal damage to Stone Henge when they threw coloured powder at the stones. The judge was very keen to direct the jury to consider the right to protest and appeared to make light of the damage which had to be cleaned off. This result will give the green light to other protestors to take similar action. This weak judgement does nothing to help protect society from these hooligans. Very bad news.

HOW BACK-UP POWER FOR WIND AND SOLAR LEADS TO DISASTER

As  the UK continues to rely more and more on solar and wind power to generate "carbon-free" electricity the question of how we will cope when the wind doesn't blow and the sun isn't shining becomes very urgent. At present we have gas-fired generation on stand-by, but the government claims we can do without this. This video, linked below, explains how very costly this would be.

A Message To The Residents Of The Isle of Man (With lessons for the UK)

SCIENCE BASED TARGET INITIATIVE ? (NO, ME NEITHER)

So you, like me, have never heard of this. Well now I have, let me give you some facts.Nearly 900 companies – including several large international corporations – have withdrawn from the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This initiative requires members to set scientifically validated climate targets in order to align their emissions goals with international standards. However, more and more companies are questioning the feasibility of these requirements. The withdrawal affects approximately seven percent of all participating companies. (So you can see that this was a big burden on businesses)

The extra costs incurred in complying were bound to lead to higher prices for consumers. However once people start leaving and returning to competing on price it is the firms left in this project that will be left struggling. It is the return to a free market economy.

 893 companies have withdrawn from the global climate initiative

PRICES DRIVEN UP BY "VOLUNTARY" ESG RULES

 ESG is the “environmental, social, and governance” criteria that Greens devised as a tool to coerce compliance.

The strategy is clever and relentless. ESG advocates form “voluntary” industry groups that lock in their radical priorities from the start. Then, they lean on major corporations to join these pacts — or else face coordinated boycotts and damaging PR campaigns. Take the U.S. Plastics Pact, for instance: Greens would argue that it encourages the reduction of waste and increases recycling etc. whereas others will argue that it’s a targeted assault on the plastics, food, and petroleum sectors, with an explicit mission to trigger a “profound paradigm shift” and drive “systemic change” in how these industries operate. 

Whatever side you are on there is no doubt that it results in increased costs for the consumer and when taken to the extreme it limits choice and drives out competition.

Now a coalition of state Attorneys General, led by Florida A.G. James Uthmeier, has written to environmental groups demanding to know how their use of the Pact to fuel their activism does not violate antitrust laws. Uthmeier is joined by the Attorneys General from Texas, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. Read their full press statement at CFACT.org.

“Radical environmental activists do not have the right, nor the avenue, to suppress business operations in our market,” Uthmeier said.

BILL GATES SOFTENS HIS STANCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE

On the cusp of COP30 in Brazil, Bill Gates has launched a 17 page memo called Three tough truths about climate.

Bill Gates can see what’s coming (a reckoning for the renewables debacle), and he is repositioning himself so he doesn’t go down with the ship. Indeed, he’s almost writing an escape plan for the whole Blob. In a nutshell, he’s admitting between the lines that wind and solar power are unaffordable, and since climate change won’t actually be that catastrophic, everyone should calm down while we invent technologies, and in the mean time, get back to stopping people from starving. Wouldn’t you know, he says “Health and prosperity are the best defense against climate change.”

NEW CAMPAIGN TO CUT ENERGY BILLS BY SCRAPPING NET ZERO TARGETS

Labour won the election on a clear promise to tackle the “underlying causes” of the cost-of-living crisis and bring energy bills down. Clean Power 2030 (CP30) - Ed Miliband’s mission to decarbonise the electricity grid over the next five years - was sold as the policy to deliver those savings, with repeated claims it would cut costs by £300 and “lower bills for good”. 

Yet evidence since the election shows the opposite is happening - with prices rising by £150.

CLIMATE SCIENTISTS RIDICULOUS PREDICTIONS

Next time we see on the news that we are about to reach a climate "tipping point" we should look back a few years to see what previous scientists have got wrong. One of the classics is this one about an ice-free Arctic in summer. Al Gore was very keen to promote this idea, but he does not seem so scary today when it can be seen just how wrong he (and the scientists who informed him) was. These clearly ridiculous predictions are never mentioned in the mainstream media, but the public aren't fooled - they are now much more sceptical and rightly so.

NATURE IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF WARMING SAYS NEW PAPER

The study scrutinizes the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) hypothesis, which attributes all observed warming solely to human-caused GHG emissions. Using satellite data from the CERES program and Ocean Heat Content (OHC) data from the ARGO float program, the author analyzed the Earth’s Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiation imbalance—the net energy flux into the Earth’s thermal system. By comparing observed energy trends with theoretical forcings, the study concludes that natural factors play a significant and dominant role in the warming observed since the mid-1970s.

NET ZERO NOW AN ELECTION LOSER ADMITS TONY BLAIR

The UK Government can go on for another almost 4 years before another General Election, so it is strange that the Party's most successful Leader is now calling for it to water-down its leading policy. The Labour government is already so unpopular that it has just lost one of its safest seats in a by-election. They will not abandon net zero, but they will stop talking about it and try to bring it forward by stealth. But they will find it impossible because it is enshrined in law and they will be called out by the Climate Change Committee and the various green organisations.

PRESIDENT TRUMP STOPS THE UN GLOBAL CLIMATE TAX ON SHIPPING

“The collapse of the UN-backed shipping emissions deal is not the disaster portrayed by climate activists — it’s a victory for sovereignty over what amounted to taxation without representation,” Anthony Watts, senior fellow at The Heartland Institute, told the DCNF. “Shipping may account for 3% of global emissions, but it moves 90% of global trade; taxing it in the name of ‘net zero’ would have punished consumers and developing nations alike while enriching bureaucrats and consultants in Geneva and New York.”

The End of Paris? – Climate Scepticism

"to limit ‘global warming to below 2°C’ – i.e. to achieve the Paris Agreement’s ‘well below 2ºC’ target (Article 2.1 (a)) – global emissions should ‘decline by about 25% from 2010 levels by 2030’. Therefore, as 2010’s global CO2 emissions were 34.0 Gigatonnes (Gt), they’d have to come down to about 25.5 Gt by 2030 to meet the target. But the world’s 8 largest emitters (China, the USA, India, Russia, Indonesia, Iran, Brazil and Saudi Arabia) together already emit more than 25.5 Gt (see Endnote 1) – and all are likely to increase (or at best stabilise) their emissions over the next five years. Therefore warming of at least 2ºC is a certainty."

90% OF AIR-BORNE MATERIAL IS NATURAL

There is a drive among environmentalists (who are now a massive number of people in local and national government) to persuade the public that all our problems are a result of mankind and if only we would stop polluting the air everything would be fine. In fact there are a vast range of natural pollutants which we can do nothing about, as this extract from Wikipedia explains 

"Human-made (anthropogenic) aerosols account for about 10 percent of the total mass of aerosols in the atmosphere as estimated in 2010. The remaining 90 percent comes from natural sources such as volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation and sea spray, emitting particulates such as volcanic ash, desert dust, soot and sea salt".  [Particulate matter - Wikipedia ]

They could have included pollen and spores from bacteria yeasts and mould which we know are harmful. It is this lack of balance that is misleading. Human pollution has decreased a huge amount during the past 50 years or so and yet there is more emphasis than ever on reducing our now small contribution further, which comes at an ever increasing cost.

MET OFFICE TRY TO DESTROY THEIR OWN FAKE DATA

The UK Met Office have been under increasing scrutiny over that last year or so. Their chief tormentor, Ray Sanders, has been gathering more and more evidence that much of their temperature data has been fabricated. As the net has tightened they have resorted to try and prevent him from uncovering the truth by banning him from using the Freedom of Information Act to ask awkward questions. Now, in a desperate (but ultimately futile) effort to hide their malpractice they have removed large chunks of the fabricated data from their website. They have done this because they know that the pretence of claiming that the data has been calculated from "well correlated" nearby stations is simply fiction.

The deletion of material from a website does not make it disappear as copies of the original are still retrievable. It doesn't end there because this fabricated data has been used to produce the evidence of rapid warming, and so this must also be seen to be altered, if not discarded, as it is tainted by the now obliterated fake data.

They must now be made to own up to what has been going on. How this can be achieved remains to be seen.

DEMOCRACY IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH NET ZERO

This article chimes with my own thoughts, which are that no democracy could achieve net zero, as the public would simply vote out any government that inflicted the loss of freedom required to achieve it. Here in the UK we have had a unified approach by both the main parties, but now that we have made all the easier decisions we are coming to the tough ones where it is going to hurt the public in terms of restrictions and even higher costs.

Now, I am prepared to say that the President does exaggerate his own successes and boasts about them too much, but considering that his teleprompter was switched off and he had to ad lib it was a remarkable effort. 

His remarks about climate change were, to a large extent, spot on, though he could have said that there is some truth in the fact that humans have probably caused some warming. Where he was correct was when he said that the policies to switch to renewables and stop using fossil fuels was causing great harm to our economies and exporting our jobs.

No other leader would dare to speak to the UN in the way he did.

NEW CLIMATE SURVEY BY THE TIMES NEWSPAPER

 British people are fed up with paying more to “combat climate change” « JoNova

The number of Britons who think the dangers of global warming have been exaggerated has jumped by more than 50 per cent in the past four years, new research for The Times reveals today.

One in four voters now believe that concerns over climate change are not as real as scientists have said, amid growing public concern at the cost of the government’s net zero policies.

NET ZERO, DEBT AND DECLINE OF THE EU AND UK

 I found this interesting essay on the Clintel website. Here is one section of it:

The Cult of Net Zero

After 50 years of failed predictions of climate apocalypse, the zealous pursuit of Net Zero climate policies at any cost in the EU and UK to ‘save the planet’ is a peculiar form of economic suicide. The postwar European miracle was built on cheap and abundant fossil fuels, nuclear power and pragmatic economic management. That foundation is now being dismantled in the name of fighting climate change.

Subsidies for wind and solar have reached astronomical levels, yet these intermittent sources cannot provide the baseload power that industry and households require. Nuclear energy, once a symbol of modernity, has been hobbled by regulation or phased out entirely. Natural gas supplies to supplement dwindling North Sea production were once reliably imported from Russia. They were cut off by sanctions and geopolitical hubris although the EU remains the largest importer of Russian LNG. The sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline signalled the end of cheap Russian natural gas that helped lay the foundations of Europe’s post-war economic prosperity.

The result is predictable: deindustrialisation, skyrocketing electricity bills and declining living standards. Germany’s vaunted Mittelstand firms — medium-sized manufacturers that long formed the backbone of its export model — are relocating abroad. Energy-intensive industries in France and Great Britain are shuttering. Households, already squeezed by inflation and stagnating wages, are asked to shoulder the costs of heat pump mandates, bans on gasoline and diesel cars and ever-higher energy taxes.

This is not an energy transition. It is an energy regression — an attempt to reconfigure advanced industrial societies around technologies that cannot deliver the reliability and affordability required for economic growth. The climate policies imposed by Brussels, Berlin, Paris and London amount to a vast system of central planning and prescriptive industrial policy. History – and Friedrich von Hayek in his book The Road to Serfdom – have shown that central planning, ‘green’ or otherwise, leads not to progress but to shortages, inefficiencies and decline.

THE CASE AGAINST NET ZERO IS UNDENIABLE

In an article in today's Daily Mail, Dominic Lawson (son Of Nigel, the late founder of the Global Warming Policy Foundation and Net Zero Watch) has written a powerful article showing how political leaders around the world are turning their backs on Net Zero policies, leaving the UK Labour Party stuck in a situation where their industrial base is collapsing leaving their economic policy in a hopeless mess.

USA COURT STOPS TAX GOING TO GREEN GROUPS FROM BIDEN ERA

A federal appeals court ruled 2-1 on Tuesday that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin [pictured] could, in fact, withhold $16 billion in so-called “gold bars” sent from the outgoing Biden administration to favored left-wing “green” organizations. [emphasis, links added]

STORING CO2 UNDERGROUND IS NOT EFFECTIVE SAYS NEW STUDY

For the first time, a study maps safe areas that can practically be used for underground carbon storage, and estimates that using them all would only cut warming by 0.7°C, says Phys.org.

The result is almost ten times lower than previous estimates of around 6°C, which considered the total global potential for geological storage, including in risky zones, where storing carbon could trigger earthquakes and contaminate drinking water supplies.

LABOUR STICK TO GREEN POLICY, DESPITE JOB LOSSES

 Company behind Lindsey Oil Refinery collapsed owing estimated £1.6bn including huge sum to tax office

The author is a retired trade unionist. He prefers to remain anonymous.

I attended a Unite demo against the Lindsey Oil refinery [closure] a few days ago. It was well attended, and we listened to General Secretary Sharon Graham, who explained that she and some of the workers will meet ministers next week. She said that 15 bids has been received for the refinery. Presumably we will find out more next week.

ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET STARTING TO GAIN ICE

The GRACE satellite, measures the total surface mass — with all the gains as well as the losses —  and suggests after 20 years of decline the steadily falling trend has broken.

What matters most in this story is that the climate models didn’t see this change coming, and therefore are missing at least one big crucial factor, or maybe ten. Who knows?

Antarctica was supposed to suffer polar amplification, and heat twice as fast as the rest of the world. What happened to that?

IS THE WORLD FOLLOWING EUROPE'S GREEN LEAD?

Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—accounted for 87% of the world’s energy in 2024, while renewables’ share remains in single digits despite more than $5 trillion being spent on wind and solar in the last 20 years.

Last year, global energy supply increased by nearly 2%, driven by rising demand for all types of energy. Accounting for 65% of the increase was the Asia-Pacific region, which represents 47% of the world’s energy consumption and where 83% of the coal is burned and reigns as king of fuel sources. Together, China, India, and Indonesia produced 71% of the globe’s coal.

NEW SEA LEVEL PAPER SHOWS NO ACCELERATION IN RISE WORLD WIDE

An analysis of more than 200 tide stations around the world shows that there is no evidence of a global acceleration in sea level rise. That is the surprising conclusion of the paper A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Changes, published this week in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering. It is a unique study by two Dutch researchers, Hessel Voortman and Rob de Vos.

The paper also shows that IPCC models significantly overestimate local sea level rise in 2020. This new publication is a follow-up to an earlier paper from 2023 in which first author Hessel Voortman demonstrated that sea level rise along the Dutch coast was not accelerating.
