WIND TURBINE GRAVE YARDS
Ever wondered where all the scrap wind turbine blades end up? Here is the answer from today's Daily Mail:
TOM LEONARD: Graveyard of the green giants | Daily Mail Online
To cut to the chase, they cannot be recycled economically, so the bulk of them are buried in giant landfill sites. Doesn't sound very environmentally friendly, but nothing seems to be quite what we are supposed to believe, when it comes to global warming. The problem with one-sided propaganda, as Putin is finding out, is that when the other side of the story comes out, the people pushing the propaganda lose all credibility.

TIME TO GET THE UK FRACKING AND DRILLING
When the situation changes then the government policy needs to adapt to the new circumstances. The Ukrainian situation has done just that and must cause the government to look afresh at their energy policy. Prices were already increasing dramatically and now look to go even higher as supplies of gas and oil start to reduce world-wide. Now is the time to use this emergency to bring the bulk of the people on-board and take head on the green extremists who have been holding the country to ransom. We must urgently start fracking and drilling to get a secure and affordable fuel supply.

THE NET ZERO SLIGHT OF HAND
Back in 2019 Natascha Engel, a former Labour MP and also a "Climate Czar" wrote the following article in the Times:
Natascha Engel: Net-Zero Carbon Target Is Reckless And Unrealistic - Net Zero Watch
To all those who think that we are on track to get to net zero by 2050, you should think again! The fact is, that when all the imported goods and their "carbon footprints" are taken into consideration we have actually reduced our emissions of CO2 by a tiny 3.4%, and we have now done the easy bits!
GOOD NEWS ABOUT POLAR BEARS
London, 26 February - Polar bears are thriving, says prominent Canadian zoologist.
In the State of the Polar Bear Report 2021, published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) ahead of International Polar Bear Day tomorrow, zoologist Dr. Susan Crockford explains that while the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) promotes the impression that polar bear population numbers are declining, the results of recent studies indicate otherwise.

THE FACTS ABOUT UK WINTER RAINFALL FIGURES
How often have we been told on the TV that winters are "getting wetter" with more extreme rainfall causing flooding. This article provides the facts:
Analysis Of Winter Extreme Rainfall | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT (wordpress.com)
What the figures and graphs show is that the weather varies by a large amount form year to year, but when you look at the average taken over a thirty year period in place after place you can see that there is no change. The facts simply do not support the propaganda. Unfortunately not a lot of people know that, because the facts are suppressed.

A RAG BAG OF USEFUL IDIOTS IS ABOUT TO TRY AND HOLD THE COUNTRY TO RANSOM
Putin's useful idiots to target UK oil and gas production
The Times, 15 February 2022The successor movement to Insulate Britain was launched yesterday and delivered an ultimatum to Downing Street that if its demands were not met it would be its “duty to intervene”.
The letter was delivered by members of Just Stop Oil (JSO), formed by, the mastermind behind Extinction Rebellion and Insulate Britain, which brought motorways and roads to a standstill 19 times between September and November last year.
The ultimatum called for the government to make “a statement that it will immediately halt all future licensing and consents for the exploration, development and production of fossil fuels in the UK”.
It continued: “If you do not provide such assurance by March 14, it will be our duty to intervene — to prevent the ultimate crime against our country, humanity and life on Earth.”
The Times revealed last month that JSO intends to disrupt oil supplies if its demands are not met, targeting oil refineries and petrol stations.
Hallam, 55, has been touring universities around the country in an effort to recruit students to the cause. The group is believed to have more than 500 signed-up members. Insulate Britain had less than 200.
Among those who delivered the letter was Louis McKechnie, 21, an engineering student who was jailed for three months for blocking the M25 with Insulate Britain in October. On being released last month he said he would do it all again.
He said: “We know what needs to be done, it’s simple, Just Stop Oil. Right now. They are doing the opposite.” The climate change committee, which advises the government on its climate targets, said that while Cop26 delivered an increase in ambitions to cut carbon emissions worldwide, the current climate policies of countries did not come close to achieving these aims and would mean a catastrophic 2.7C rise of global heating.
It is understood that as well as students, JSO is seeking to mobilise trade unionists into strike action. A document seen by The Times, which was sent to union branches around the country, said it was “time for trade unionists to honour their radical traditions”.

RESISTANCE TO NET ZERO GETS MORE ORGANISED
Another good article in the Daily Mail tells us that Conservative backbenchers are now getting more organised to resist the policy of reducing CO2 emissions to net zero. Here is the link:

AT LAST COMMON SENSE BREAKS OUT AND THE UK GETS DRILLING FOR OIL AND GAS
North Sea oil and gas drilling approved as Cabinet push back against 'insane' Net Zero plans
The Daily Telegraph, 8 February 2022Six North Sea oil and gas fields are set to be given the green light this year, The Telegraph has learnt, as Cabinet figures push back against “insane” demands to go further on net zero.
Rishi Sunak has asked Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business Secretary, to fast-track the licences amid Treasury fears over the economic impact of making the UK a net zero carbon emitter by 2050.
It is the latest sign of tensions between Number 10 and Number 11 after the Treasury held back plans for bringing down NHS backlogs and demanded better value for money.
The Telegraph understands that Mr Sunak is also preparing to resist Boris Johnson’s high-spending instincts over public sector pay, measures to limit migrant Channel crossings and the scrapping of free Covid tests.
On Monday, the Prime Minister moved to play down suggestions of a rift with Mr Sunak – seen as a future Tory leadership contender – by responding “absolutely not” when asked whether he has doubts about the Chancellor’s loyalty.
He said: “Everybody in Number 10 and the Treasury are working together in harmony to deal with the big problems that the country faces and clearing the Covid backlogs.”
The six oil and gas areas, which have already been given a preliminary licence by ministers, are expected to be given approval by Britain’s oil and gas regulator to begin construction of rigs in the North Sea.

Despite calls for all domestic fossil fuel extraction to be halted, ministers have pledged to continue to support oil and gas production while renewable energy sources are developed.
Drilling of oil and gas could begin in the Rosebank field, to the west of Shetland, and at the Jackdaw, Marigold, Brodick and Catcher sites in the central North Sea. A sixth site, Tolmount East, had been intended to be approved by the Oil and Gas Authority last year but is now expected in 2022.
The combined reserves of all six sites are thought to be enough to power the whole UK for six months, with 62 million tonnes of oil equivalent fuel in the ground.
A Whitehall source told The Telegraph: “The Business Secretary is pushing for more investment into the North Sea while we transition – not just for jobs and tax revenue, but for domestic energy security.
“Kwasi is actively resisting insane calls from Labour and the eco-lobby to turn off UK production. Doing so would trash energy security, kill off 200,000 jobs, and we would only end up importing more from foreign countries with dubious records.
“Over the long term, we need to generate more secure, affordable, low carbon power in the UK to achieve greater energy independence. The more clean power we generate in the UK, the less exposed consumers will be to gas prices set by international markets.”

WILL THE GOVERNMENT STOP THIS MADNESS?
There is an article in the Mail on Sunday which should prepare the police and the government to deal effectively to prevent major disruption to our country and the majority of decent law-abiding people in it. Here is the article:
I will wait and see if they do stop it, but I am far from convinced that they will. Back in the 1980s there was major disruption caused by a miners' strike which involved hundreds of pickets, but the government, led by Margaret Thatcher, stood up to them and defeated them. Will this one do the same?
ENERGY IMPORT MADNESS REVEALED IN MAJOR ARTICLE IN DAILY MAIL
Excellent article in the Daily Mail on Friday which shows the enormous opportunity the UK is foregoing in order to reach net zero CO2 emissions. (In fact we will not reach net zero emissions, as we cannot do without fossil fuel energy).
Here is the link to the article:
When will this self-inflicted madness end? - Only when the British public realise what they are being denied.

GLOBAL WARMIST EXTREMISTS JAILED AT LAST - BUT NOT LONG ENOUGH!
At last some justice has been done to deter these global warming nutters, though 42 days is derisory in view of the misery they have inflicted on the pubic with their pathetic little protests. Read the story here:
