Finally judges are starting to get tough with these fanatics. It has been a long wait and in the mean time we have endured no end of inconvenience while the law appears to have indulged them. Of course the problem is that they are almost talking the same talk as the government, who are themselves inflicting pain and poverty on the people claiming it is for our own good.

Real Climate Science | "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
The UK has been following a policy of unilateral decarbonisation which, like nuclear disarmament will not achieve a goal of changing the world. but it is capable of inflicting misery and poverty on the British people. At last the trade union leaders are understanding this and speaking out, as this piece linked below explains:
British companies are paying the highest electricity prices of anywhere in the developed world, official data has shown.
The cost of power for industrial businesses has jumped 124pc in just five years, according to the Government’s figures, catapulting the UK to the top of international league tables.
It is now about 50pc more expensive than in Germany and France, and four times as expensive as in the US.
The figures will fuel concerns about the future of UK industry amid warnings that high energy prices are crippling domestic manufacturers.

The danger of rechargeable batteries has been highlighted by the Israeli military using pagers as small bombs to kill or injure members of Hezbollah. It could be a serious concern as the following linked article explains:
With the foolish policy to achieve net zero it makes sense to allow UK industry to close and then to import the products from abroad, as it reduces our CO2 emissions. Success in achieving net zero means poverty for those who lose their jobs and a transfer of wealth to foreign countries. Sadly the voters are convinced that we will get all these "green jobs". The question is - when?
A letter has just been written to the UK government showing how they have made massive errors in calculating the cost of reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. In the short video, linked below Paul Burgess looks at the contents of the letter and explains what each point refers to. The department DESNZ is mentioned in the letter and this stands for Department of Energy Security and Net Zero.
Green charities are now huge businesses with salaries to match. No wonder so many are attracted to them.
This new video from Tony Heller looks at the latest claims from NASA that there has been a dramatic rise in sea level since 1995. He shows it is just another scare story which does not fit the data.
The following video explains clearly why the policy of trying to reach net zero CO2 emissions is incompatible with life in a modern country. This is regardless of whether it is necessary in order to affect the climate. It is a simple truth which, like the king's new clothes being not there, is never stated.

We are used to doom and gloom predictions from the climate alarmist fraternity. Usually they like to make them for a long time ahead, but this time they have been very gung-ho and gone for broke. So far they appear to have got it spectacularly wrong.

The video in the link below includes ex Tory MP Sir John Redwood explaining in no uncertain words exactly why the net zero policy is foolish. If only more current Conservatives would speak out in this way.
The months of lead-up sessions to COP29, which is being hosted this year in Azerbaijan, have been painfully slow even by the plodding standards of global climate diplomacy, participants say.
With just two months to go, there still isn’t an agreed definition of “climate finance” let alone how much should be paid, which countries should receive it and how, and who should be on the hook for it.
Some developing countries are demanding north of $1 trillion annually, a 10-fold increase on existing pledges.
If elected, Trump could slash funding for the climate and Ukraine, leaving the EU — which saw swings to the right in elections this year — footing the bill.
in a warming world due to increasing CO2 there will be a statistical increase in “unusually warm” years. But assuming the warming is entirely due to steadily increasing CO2 causing a slight (currently ~1%) energy imbalance in the climate system, then the warming that results is about ~0.02 deg. C per year.
Anything different from that small 0.02 deg. C per year warming is due to natural climate variability.
Satellite observations from CERES (Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System) indicate cloud cover has been declining since 2000. Declining cloud cover has meant less shortwave radiation has been reflected to space, resulting in an increase in the solar radiation absorbed by the Earth’s surface (ocean).
Here is another example of the way renewable energy is being pushed using deceptive figures. The following short video explains:
Quite a few politicians seem to get away with a conflict of interest in the area of climate change. In some cases it seems quite blatant, as can be seen in the following article:
The Baroness making a fortune from Net Zero | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT (wordpress.com)
Now we are starting to extract CO2 out of the air, but at what cost? Who is paying for this and how is it funded? £3 million from the government is small change compared with the £ billions that are being spent on other climate change projects.

The Isle of Man parliament is recorded and their speeches on climate change policy are dissected by Paul Burgess in this hour long video. Interestingly one MP is actually brave enough to disagree with the consensus and makes a lot of sensible points. He stands out like an atheist at a religious convention.

5 reasons behind the historic absence of tropical storms this hurricane season (accuweather.com)
Here's one:
Water across nearly all of the Atlantic hurricane basin is incredibly warm, which can fuel any tropical system that does develop. However, one area just off the west coast of Africa is much cooler, a phenomenon known as "Atlantic Niña."
Research has shown Atlantic Niñas can potentially lead to less tropical activity in the Atlantic. The reasoning behind this cooling in the Atlantic is still a bit unclear.
Not according to this study (linked article below) using computer models.
There is a lot of interesting information in the comments beneath the article. Among the comments was a link to this government paper:
The UK Carbon Capture Usage and Storage deployment pathway: an action plan (publishing.service.gov.uk) Here is a quote from page 16 of the report:
A CCUS project, incorporating capture, transport and storage infrastructure, takes between five and eight years from commencing detailed engineering work to operation. Therefore to support meeting our ambition of having the option of deploying CCUS at scale during the 2030s, subject to costs coming down sufficiently, we can use the 2020s to test and develop CCUS in the UK context.
A successful proposition will be one that is supported by local and regional communities, authorities and businesses. It will need to be consistent with the market based framework set out by Government and include the wider industrial and economic benefts of establishing CCUS in the place. (Page 30)
To help industry decarbonise, we have launched an Industrial Energy Transformation Fund, worth up to £315 million. This will provide funding for transformative decarbonisation investments, potentially including fuel switching and carbon capture. (Page 33)
BEIS analysis shows that the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for a frstof-a-kind combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) with post-combustion carbon capture and storage could be around £75/MWh, for a plant commissioning in 2025. The LCOE of a plant of this type was previously estimated to be £110/MWh52 (Page 36)
The question that sticks in my mind is - how could any manufacture be made cheaper by adding a whole extra plant to it? To see the cost of wind turbine electricity have a look at yesterday's link to the video by Paul Burgess. It is close to £100/MWh. I would be very sceptical about the figure of £75/MWh quoted by the government.
In this new video from Paul Burgess he looks at the true cost of wind energy. A short and interesting video which includes a clash in the UK parliament between a Reform MP and Labour on the topic.

An excellent piece from Ross Clark, author of the best seller Not Zero.
There is something very important to learn from the way that the German economy is going as a result of adopting energy policies to try to reach net zero. We should learn not to copy them!
Yet another ridiculous headline, this one from the USA, is trying to make us believe that the climate is causing bridges to wear out more quickly. The inference is that any infrastructure is now wearing out more quickly than before. As if the climate was perfect and now it is suddenly much worse.
We live in a world of "experts" when it comes to energy and climate, and most of the time these "experts" are able to speak to us via the media virtually unchallenged. Most of the public do not have the knowledge and ability to give a coherent challenge, but in the link below of a radio interview in the Isle of Man there was an exceptionally well-informed member of the public. The interview is dissected by Paul Burgess to give more background context.
