NET ZERO AT ALL COSTS

 The madness continues with an announcement that the UK will never reach its target of net zero emissions by 2050, according to the report by Energy Systems Catapult, a government-funded body that promotes innovation (and net zero). The Climate Change Committee, which advises the Government, has described direct air capture as “a necessity, not an option”, for the UK to meet its net zero targets. This comes at a cost of £30 billion at a time when the country has no money to properly fund our roads, schools, prisons etc.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE MAKER LOSING HUGE SUMS

You might think that electric vehicles would be a good investment with all the political pressure for doing away with petrol and diesel vehicles, and yet we see that the manufacturers are losing large sums, as the bulk of the public are not buying them. Governments can interfere in the market, but it can have unintended consequences.

GLOBAL TEMPERATURE - WEAK AND INACCURATE - HERE'S WHY

This new video by Paul Burgess clearly explains how the poor standard of temperature data makes accurate measurements impossible and yet the whole climate change narrative depends on this data. This inherent weakness is never mentioned and is completely ignored by those who are desperate to keep the public believing, and hence willing to put up with the restrictions that are to be put on them.

TIME FOR PACKHAM TO APOLOGISE OR PAY DAMAGES

I am sorry to say it, but Chris Packham comes across as a condescending smart-arse in this debate, when he says, without any evidence, that "the science" is on his side, and that his opponent relies on information from those paid by the fossil fuel industry. He blusters because he cannot recite any actual evidence because there is none.

24973 HITS TODAY! (SO FAR)

 I could not believe the figure for the number of viewings for today. Maybe the hit counter is playing up. I usually get about 1000 to 2000 on a good day, but this figure is way off the chart. 

You are all welcome and keep coming back for the important news on climate change. I will get the final figure at midnight. My best month was around 73,000, so I doubt if that will be beaten, but you never know. 

UPDATE:

Final figure for 25th was 28,947

26th (so far) 13,504

CENSORING "CLIMATE - THE MOVIE" IS DEBUNKED

The climate alarmists are desperate to discredit the new film "Climate - The Movie" which has attracted a lot of attention on the internet. The following article looks at some attempts and debunks them.

NATIONAL ELECTRICITY PRICES COMPARED

According to research by Eurostat in the race to the most expensive electricity in the world, this week the UK is the winner.  The bottom line is that from 2008 the price of electricity in China fell from €100 down to €80 per megawatt hour. While in Australia it rose from €125 to €300 and in the UK prices rose from €150 to €360.

 Effectively, the price of electricity fell 20% in China at the same time as it rose 240% in Australia and the UK.  the percentage of wind and solar power penetration on each national grid pretty much predicts the order of the price graphs the EU collated. Among this pool, the nation with the highest penetration of wind and solar power is the UK which gets 29% of its electricity from wind and solar power.  Australia is second at 26%, and the EU collective third at 22%.

NET ZERO IS "TOTALLY UNNECESSARY" SAYS LEADING SCIENTIST

Even if you believe that CO2 is causing a climate emergency there is absolutely no need to try and reach net zero. The fact is that atmospheric CO2 levels will start to fall even if we carry on emitting most of the CO2 we are currently emitting.

The reason is due to something called the CO2 “sink rate”. It has been observed that the more CO2 there is in the atmosphere, the more quickly nature removes the excess. The NASA studies showing “global greening” in satellite imagery since the 1980s is evidence of that. According to Roy Spencer each year nature removes an average of 2% of the atmospheric excess above 295ppm. 

So now we know that net zero is not only massively expensive and impossible, but it is also quite unnecessary.

One word comes to mind - pathetic!

CLIMATE TARGET TO BE DITCHED

Setting targets way into the future is an easy thing to do, but as the time passes it eventually becomes clear that these targets are not achievable. The Scottish government is the first to reach this point:

It won't be the last! There are some completely ridiculous targets which have been set by councils. Obviously they are not as high profile as governments, but they deserve to be shown up for making such barmy claims.

CORAL BLEACHING PROPAGANDA

The "climate change emergency" requires a constant stream of scary headlines to try and keep the public believing and being ready to accept the increased costs and restrictions that will be introduced to attempt to meet net zero CO2 emissions. Here is a link to the article:

A TEN MINUTE VIDEO THAT GETS TO THE HEART OF THE CLIMATE DEBATE

I know there are some people out there who say there is no debate. Everything is  settled and we now simply have to stop emitting CO2. That is simply unscientific. Science works by looking at all the evidence, not just the bits which appear to support one particular argument. If any facts don't fit then a theory is wrong. On that basis the idea that CO2 controls the world's surface temperature is wrong, and yet there is no discussion in the main stream media about this. Here is a link to the video:

INTERESTING VIDEO BY AN ENVIRONMENTALIST WHO HAS BECOME A CLIMATE CHANGE SCEPTIC

This is quite a long interview with Adrian Hayes at 55 minutes but the main focus on his climate change views starts at 20 minutes in. His gradual realisation that the idea of CO2 controlling the world's temperature is far from certain is interesting and came after doing a detailed investigation. It is a journey that quite a lot of thinking people have made. What made this interesting for me was that I know Adrian's family, they were neighbours of mine.

MORE ON THE ABSURD DECISION BY THE ECHR

According to this article there are some parallels between the behaviour of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the German Courts under Hitler.  Both were captured by an ideology and so stopped being independent. A very dangerous situation!

And here:

Europe's highest court rules countries must 'protect citizens from climate change' after legal action by 2,000 Swiss women - paving the way for British eco mobs to force the government to implement green policies | Daily Mail Online

Apparently Switzerland produces 0.1% of world CO2 emissions, so any policy it enacts could not possibly have any measurable effect on the climate even if they eliminated all CO2 emissions tomorrow. The court's decision is completely irrational - the complete opposite of what a court should be.

There is also the point that it is weather which gives rise to heat waves and there have always been periods of uncomfortably hot weather and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.

SOLAR PANEL TOXIC WASTE

Those who are truly concerned for the environment and who also believe there is a climate emergency must be in a complete quandary over the use of solar panels and what happens to them at the end of their life. The following linked article gives details of the problem.

TIME TO LEAVE THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

A group of elderly women claimed they were vulnerable to heat waves! Has the world gone mad, I ask. There is no explanation of how they convinced the court that heat waves were increasing and this was definitely due to man made CO2 emissions. I have no doubt there will now be dozens more of these crackpot cases, costing tens of thousands in lawyer fees. I hope the UK will now leave this court which seems to have extended "human rights" way beyond what was originally intended when the court was set up.

COST OF NET ZERO ELECTRICITY - £100 BILLION OVER NEXT SIX YEARS

 Net Zero Electricity Fantasies to Cost British Consumers £100 Billion Over Next Six Years – Watts Up With That?

"But it might be asked, what is £100 billion when an almost complete dismantling of modern economic society is being planned? A mere down payment on wealth destruction on an unimaginable scale. At a time when the political will to control immigration has withered, massive deindustrialisation is being planned in Europe, with unimaginable effects on the less affluent members of society. On the basis of an unproven hypothesis that human-produced carbon dioxide controls a climate headed for disaster – now deemed ‘settled’ and beyond debate – small, well-funded elite groups in society are planning to remove 85% of the world energy supply within less than 30 years. How far they will get in this madcap, nightmarish scheme before being repelled by gathering rational and democratic forces, only time will tell."

A GOOD SUMMARY OF THE CLIMATE DEBATE FROM CLINTEL

The Climate Intelligence Group, known by the name Clintel, originated in Holland but is now international and is responsible for organising the World Climate Declaration which concludes that there is no climate emergency. This has been signed by hundreds of leading scientists, as well as many unknown ones like me. The link below is a good summary of the strong arguments for the case against a climate emergency, which are rarely mentioned in the mainstream media.  I recommend it to all those with an open mind on the subject. There is much other interesting material on the website as well.

OIL BONANZA TRANSFORMING GUYANA

If anyone believes that the third world is ready to sacrifice its prosperity in order to reach net zero should watch the interview in the link below. There is no way that the world's oil reserves will remain in the ground while there continues to be so much demand for it and such fabulous wealth obtained from it.

 BBC iPlayer - HARDtalk - Mohamed Irfaan Ali, President of Guyana

You will note that he pays lip-service to the climate change emergency by blaming the rich nations for causing it, yet he has no intention of sacrificing his own countries wealth to stop it. He probably does not even believe in it himself. But luckily for him he can use the third world "get out of taking responsibility" card. Whereas the "rich West" must take the blame and pay up until a leader emerges who dares to say NO.
