GOOD-BYE TO EU STEEL MAKERS

Here are the sad details of the demise of one of Europe's great industries along with the hundreds of good jobs that go with it. Of course it is not going entirely all at once, but if new plants are being built out of the EU it is just a matter of time before the older plant becomes obsolete. Such policies are the knock-on effect of climate change policies and if these continue then other energy intensive industry will surely follow.

THE CLIMATE BANDWAGON KEEPS ON ROLLING

As a councillor I get sent a lot of stuff on climate change. Here is an example of an expensive waste of time, or an easy way to make a profit out of climate propaganda. Why on earth would anyone want to pay £300 to be given more propaganda on this topic?  You would think there was already enough in the mainstream media.

This article is a great rebuttal of all the misinformation being peddled about the climate scare. Well worth reading and repeating.

WHO SAID SCEPTICS WERE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS?

If you thought that climate sceptics were likely to believe in conspiracy theories, then read this! Does this man really believe that only he and three other UK scientists are experts on Arctic ice thickness? He seems to live in a climate alarmists bubble and needs to get out more - but of course he can't, as this would allow the "assassins" to get him. Time for him to get a disguise and disappear.

DIESEL VEHICLES CAUSING THOUSANDS OF EXTRA DEATHS TO "PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE"

UK PRESS AND THE HOTTEST MONTH/YEAR HEADLINES

Here's a good piece dissecting the claims, often mad in the UK press recently, that this month/year will be the hottest ever, based on a forecast of a few hot days.  Of course they want to sell papers and these claims make for dramatic headlines. The reality is that it becomes like the story of the boy who cried wolf.

HOW THE SOLAR INDUSTRY DISTORTS THE FIGURES TO MAKE ITSELF MORE COMPETITIVE

Here's the lowdown on what the solar industry don't want you to know. By cherry picking the best data they create a false rosy picture and ignore the extra costs  and problems the solar energy creates for the grid.

UK TO GO NO FURTHER OR FASTER THAN OTHER NATIONS SAYS CLIMATE CHANGE MINISTER

UK GREEN PROJECTS TO SUFFER 40% BUDGET CUT

GIGANTIC NEW COAL MINE APPROVED IN NEW SOUTH WALES

Here is a link to the details and the controversy caused.  Australian PM, Tony Abbott is a strong leader who speaks a lot of common sense, which the greens hate him for. The whole GW issue is riddled with inconsistent nonsense which this highlights.

CLIMATE CHANGE PROPAGANDA BY THE NATIONAL TRUST

This article looks at the likelihood of the UK suffering blackouts this winter and it seems the possibility is growing, though the government assures us that all is well, but then they would.

GREEK POWER CRISIS

STATES SET TO DEFY OBAMA CLIMATE RULE

MINI ICE AGE WITHIN 15 YEARS SAYS NEW RESEARCH REPORT

UK GOVERNMENT WATERS DOWN ECO HOME REGS

Here is a link to this news which is warmly welcomed, if you can excuse the pun. At last the government seem to realise the folly of driving up the cost of homes with no benefit whatsoever for residents or the environment.

ECO HOMES TURN INTO OVENS IN HOT WEATHER

This Mail article looks at the problems with increasing the insulation and draught-proofing of homes. It works in the winter but causes severe over-heating in the summer. The obvious solution, which climate alarmists will not like, is to install air-conditioning. So much for low carbon !

BBC RATCHETS UP ITS ALARMIST PROPAGANDA

This article from Roger Helmer MEP's excellent blog explains in simple English why the BBC is wrong to be so biased in its reporting of issues related to climate change, but I doubt that they will change as their alarmist position has become so embedded that it is very unlikely to change.

THE GLOBAL COAL RENAISSANCE

This article confirms the fact that fossil fuels such as coal are going to be the major source of energy throughout the world for many years to come. All those alarmists who say coal must be kept in the ground need to wake up and face reality - it's not going to happen!

REFRACKING IS THE WAY TO INCREASE YIELDS

 This article gives the details, including the very impressive statistics which should give the UK government the impetus to get on with sweeping aside the opposition and get fracking going here.

UK CHANCELLOR TO REIN IN GREEN SUBSIDIES

This article looks at the cost of wind and solar energy and how they are spiralling out of control. It seems that he is now ready to rein them in, though he cannot do anything about those already committed to.

THE MYSTERY OVER BRITAIN'S "HOTTEST DAY"

Christopher Booker looks at the evidence for Britain's hottest day, claimed by the Met Office during the recent hot spell that lasted for a few days. I wonder if the Met Office would have gone to so much trouble to claim a record cold temperature?

UN URGES DEVELOPED NATIONS TO TRANSFER 100 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR

If climate change is not all about the money, I think we can conclude from this that it is certainly a very important aspect which helps to keep it going despite the apparent lack of warming in recent decades.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Monday urged developed countries to create a credible plan to commit 100 billion U.S. dollars per year by 2020 to support developing countries to adapt to climate change.

"I strongly urge developed countries to provide a politically credible trajectory for mobilizing 100 billion dollars per year by 2020 to support developing countries in curbing emissions and strengthening their resilience," Ban said at a high-level event on climate change.

The UN chief said he would "proactively engage with leaders from both the global north and south to make sure this goal is met and is considered credible by all."

He expressed disappointment with what he called the "snail's pace" of climate negotiations currently taking place in the lead up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting set to take place in Paris on Dec. 7-8.

"I really count on leaders, presidents, prime ministers and ministers to exercise their political direction so that this negotiation will move much faster," Ban said.
