YET ANOTHER UK POLITICIAN SEEMS TO BE BRAINWASHED ON CLIMATE

This piece in the Mail on Sunday is typical of the sort of thing we are being fed on a regular basis in the media.  Tobias Ellwood is a Conservative MP and so you would imagine that he is intelligent and yet he doesn't seem to understand why China is continuing to develop large numbers of coal-fired power stations. The answer is that they are by far the most economic and reliable way to produce electricity. Also it is clear that the Chinese leadership do not believe that CO2 emissions will cause Armageddon. 

It is interesting that Tobias does not mention that the world should attempt to apply serious sanctions on China (or other nations continuing to build coal-fired power stations). He merely vaguely mentions 'diplomacy'.The fact that he and other politicians never mention such sanctions leads me to think that they are also not really serious about a so-called climate emergency. 

Tobias needs to stop soaking up the climate propaganda and actually read the IPCC reports. If he did he would know that regarding droughts (which lead to wild fires), the IPCC has “low confidence” about any evidence that climate change may be causing a net increase in the frequency or severity of drought.
