CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NOBLE LIE

 Many people would accept that there are times when it is ok to tell a lie, but some issues are so important that a lie is completely unacceptable. In climate change the costs are so high that we must insist on the whole truth. One new way of distorting the truth (AKA lying) is the attempt to claim that extreme weather events have been made a certain percentage worse by climate change. This is called a noble lie because it is in their mind a lie in a noble cause. These are known as climate attribution studies. This is when a particular extreme weather event is studied and then said to have been made much worse by human climate change. This article explains it clearly:

INSULATION SCHEME TO PAY OFF IN 100 YEARS

Insulation was installed in 14 homes in Yorkshire, at a cost of up to £44,000 per house, for the research conducted by Leeds Beckett University for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The government-backed study showed that it could take more than a century before the cost was repaid in reduced energy bills.

The Government is expected to unveil new plans to fund retrofits in poorer homes, as well as schools and other public buildings, within weeks, as part of Labour’s manifesto pledge to upgrade five million homes to cut bills for families. But will they notice any difference?

WHY DO THEY MAKE UP DATA?

Why do these state-run weather departments carry on issuing data for temperature stations which no longer exist?

The United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) was established to provide an “accurate, unbiased, up-to-date historical climate record for the United States,” NOAA states, and it has recorded more than 100 years of daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations across the United States.

The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of USHCN’s stations don’t exist anymore.

“They are physically gone—but still report data—like magic,” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, a certified consulting meteorologist.

“NOAA fabricates temperature data for more than 30 percent of the 1,218 USHCN reporting stations that no longer exist.”

Complete honesty and transparency should be the hall mark of science and the availability of data, yet what we see is the complete opposite, with data being manufactured and its source concealed. What possible reason could there be for this, other than to try and portray a false narrative?

CORALS ARE SO TOUGH THEY SURVIVE EXTREME CLIMATE CHANGE

We are constantly told that corals are very sensitive and will be killed by a slight warming of the ocean's temperature. This is a myth as the paper in the following post explains. The damage which occurs is only temporary and the corals themselves will return again as soon as conditions become favourable again, just like a hardy plant.

ANCIENT FLOODS WERE FAR WORSE THAN IN RECENT TIMES

Climate change is NOT the main cause of floods – and those today are ‘nowhere near’ the most extreme

  — Daily Mail

Study author Professor Stephan Harrison at the University of Exeter said recent floods are not exceptional if we look further into the past.

‘In recent years, floods around the world – including in Pakistan, Spain and Germany – have killed thousands of people and caused enormous damage,’ he said.

‘Such floods are seen as “unprecedented” – but if you look back over the last few thousand years, that’s not the case.

‘In fact, floods we call unprecedented may be nowhere near the most extreme that have happened in the past.’ 

Ancient European floods were much worse than anything in the last century « JoNova 

SEA LEVEL - NO ACCELERATION FOUND BY AI

 People who want you to believe that there is a climate crisis are determined to show that sea level is rising at an increased rate - in other words accelerating. There have been a number of models made which, the makers claim, show that it is accelerating, but there is one big problem for them - none of the world's long-running tide gauge data show an acceleration. This fact is ignored by the mainstream media and hence the public.

In his latest video Paul Burgess interrogates the latest AI tool called Grok AI Beta 3 to see what it can find. Interestingly, at first it comes up with the "mainstream answer", but when you ask it to dig a bit deeper and only look at the actual data it changes its tune and becomes a staunch sceptic. Here is the link:

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT SLOWLY CONSTRAINED BY STEALTH

There is a gradual, sinister removal of our freedom to move freely going on in some of our cities and it is happening without the publicity that you might expect. Suddenly roads are being closed off and routes through some cities are no longer possible. It has happened in London, and this has attracted publicity, but it is also going on in Oxford and Birmingham and Bristol, as explained in this short video below. The reason given is to reduce CO2 emissions, except that it does not - it does the opposite, as people have to take much longer routes to get to where they want to go. There are some people in local government who have an agenda, which is to control the people. Time for voters to find out who they are and vote them out!

PURSUIT OF NET ZERO 'A RESOUNDING FAILURE'

"Solar and wind power have grown to a mere 3.5% of primary energy production. The levelised cost of renewable energy – which measures the net present value of electricity produced over a plant’s lifetime – has declined sharply over the years. But this has not resulted in lower electricity prices. In fact, as the share of the energy mix provided by renewables has risen, electricity prices have tended to increase. That’s because wind and solar power are intermittent. Since storing energy in batteries is uneconomic, traditional sources of power are still needed as backup, which is expensive".

He makes a very good point, but the alarmist will, of course come back with "but we have got to do far more", and then reel off the extreme weather events which they claim to be linked to climate change.

Of course they don't give away the whole story, but perhaps it might end something like this:

Suddenly Yerna emerges from behind a plant pot along with a whole mass of greenery. "Where has all this come from?" asks Amber. 

Yerna explains, "You see the plants are my friends and they love CO2 and warmth, so your flat was just right for them. The CO2 levels in here are much higher than outside. That is why they pump CO2 into greenhouses".

Amber looked surprised. "But I thought CO2 was bad and that we were all going to die?"

Yerna spoke quietly and calmly, "I am 3000 years old and that is not true. The climate is a bit warmer, about 1.5 degrees C. It was just as warm during the Medieval Warm Period, around 1000 years ago. It was a really good time, just like the Roman Optimum about 2000 years ago. The worst climate was the Little Ice Age which only ended in about 1850. Just think, if we hadn't warmed up by that 1.5 degrees C. we would still be in it today!" 

Amber smiled and gave a sigh of relief.  "I am so glad you came", she said. "Now I know the truth I will go back to college and tell all my friends".

It is worth mentioning that, if what is constantly being fed to the public about there being a climate emergency due to man made CO2 is true, then all these privations would be necessary. Luckily the scientific evidence does not support what is being fed to us and I suspect a lot of our leaders know this but dare not admit it as they know it would immediately make them look very foolish. On the other hand if there are some who actually believe it, they know that they dare not implement such a drastic policy as they know it would destroy the economy.

The result is that we carry on with a policy which is still very costly and damaging, while at the same time will not achieve its intended goal. Not only that, but unless all major countries implemented the same stringent policy it could not possibly work. 

When this period of human history is written, future generations will be amazed at the huge fuss that was made of what might be called the "climate issue", just as today we look back at the "witchcraft issue".   

JUST A REMINDER OF WHAT THE CLIMATE AND NATURE BILL WOULD LEAD TO

Net zero is a mad aim as it currently is being followed by the UK government, but for those of a puritanical nature there is an even madder version set out in a back-bench MPs bill. If this were to passinto law here's what it would lead to:

WILL BLACKOUTS COME TO BRITAIN?

Here in this linked 40 minute video there is an in-depth discussion about the UK electricity supply system. It focuses on the effect of wind and solar energy on the reliability of it, and the risk of blackouts as we approach 2030 when the Labour government have set out to make the supply net zero CO2 emissions. This should be essential listening for the government, as well as all voters!

HEAT PUMPS MAY NEVER BE CHEAPER THAN GAS BOILERS

This has been admitted by Ed Miliband, the Labour minister in charge of the UK energy system and net zero. I think he should have said "WILL" rather than "may". Despite this, the government are still planning to introduce a scheme which will come into force in April, whereby boiler manufacturers will be fined if they fail to sell enough heat pumps.

Companies in the sector have previously warned it would add £120 to the cost of a new boiler – leading it to be dubbed the 'boiler tax'.

WHAT THE CLIMATE AND NATURE BILL ACTUALLY MEANS

The Climate and Nature Bill sounds innocuous enough, in fact it is a wolf in sheep's clothing as this article reveals. However before we start to man the barricades it must be noted that this is a back-bench bill that is not supported by the government so it is highly unlikely to pass into law, which is just as well!

CONSERVATIVE LEADER DENOUNCES PREVIOUS NET ZERO POLICY

Net Zero Watch welcomes the admission by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch that the 2050 decarbonisation target was ‘a mistake’ and that it was put in place without any plan to deliver it.

This new position will undoubtedly lead to speculation that the party is about to adopt a radically different climate and energy policy.

What a pity it has taken so long for them to realise this. Still it is a welcome change.

THE DECLINE OF THE GULF STREAM EXAGGERATED

In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) often referred to as the Gulf Stream, moves water throughout the world’s oceans powered by a combination of winds and ocean density. As the climate is continuously changing and the atmosphere is warming, many scientists fear that fresh water from melting polar ice sheets could significantly disrupt—or collapse—the AMOC. While a decline of the AMOC would have grave consequences, a collapse would be truly catastrophic.

In a new paper published in Nature Communications, scientists found that the AMOC has not declined in the last 60 years.

IS THE END OF NET ZERO IN SIGHT?

Bloomberg) — President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he would seek to have a policy of having no wind farms constructed during his second term, threatening billions of dollars in planned wind projects.

“We are going to have a policy where no windmills are being built,” Trump said during a lengthy tirade against wind power during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Trump, who has vowed a first day executive order targeting wind farms, has long made no secret his disdain for the energy source. But his remarks Tuesday represented the sharpest threat yet from the incoming president.

DOUBLING CO2 COULD BE OFFSET BY A 1% INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER

Acknowledged leading physicists,  Drs. van Wijngaarden and Happer, have produced the evidence in a new paper. Since CO2 has only risen by 50% since 1750 (280 ppm to 420 ppm), CO2’s total greenhouse effect influence in reducing outgoing radiation has thus far been in the range of tenths of a percentage point. A less than 1% change in outgoing radiation over hundreds of years is not even detectable amid the noise of outgoing radiation measurement. Observation error in measuring Earth’s outgoing radiation is 33 W/m², for example.

That is not a headline that immediately grabs your attention, but it is actually true. It will probably disappoint those who like to strike fear of climate change into the mind of the public so that they readily accept the massive costs they are about to be burdened with to control the climate back to what it was in the good old days before we had central heating motor cars and aircraft. Of course this will not be reported in our mainstream media.

RECENT GLOBAL TEMPERATURE INCREASE INTENSIFIED BY REDUCED CLOUD COVER

  A recent paper by Helge F. Goessling, et al., published by AAAS Science, looks at the possible cause of the recent global temperature surge and suggests it has been intensified by record-low planetary albedo”. The abstract states:

“In 2023, the global mean temperature soared to almost 1.5K above the pre-industrial level, surpassing the previous record by about 0.17K. Previous best-guess estimates of known drivers including anthropogenic warming and the El Niño onset fall short by about 0.2K in explaining the temperature rise. Utilizing satellite and reanalysis data, we identify a record-low planetary albedo as the primary factor bridging this gap. The decline is apparently caused largely by a reduced low-cloud cover in the northern mid-latitudes and tropics, in continuation of a multi-annual trend. Further exploring the low-cloud trend and understanding how much of it is due to internal variability, reduced aerosol concentrations, or a possibly emerging low-cloud feedback will be crucial for assessing the current and expected future warming.”

Previous papers have pointed out a warming of the oceans, particularly in the tropics. Since infrared radiation (from greenhouse gases such as CO2) cannot penetrate the ocean surfaces beyond a few millimeters (small fractions of an inch) increasing atmospheric CO2 cannot be an explanation of ocean warming over a few years, but increased sunlight at sea level can.

Just look at the latest figures for subsidising wind and biomass energy. A record high of £2.36 billion for last year. Meanwhile subsidies for wind power via the Renewable Obligation Scheme cost a further £4.6 billion in the year ended March 2024.  In short, wind power is now being subsidised to the tune of about £7 billion a year, when constraint payments are included.

CLIMATE SCIENCE IN 1974 FROM USA REPORT

Here is a summary of an article written in a Report in 1974:

Annual average temperatures over the Northern Hemisphere increased rather dramatically from 1890 to 1940, but have been falling ever since. The total change (by1974) has averaged about 0.5 degrees Centigrade, with the greatest cooling in higher latitudes. Iceland's hay crop has dropped by 25% since the 1950's, while pack ice in waters around Iceland and Greenland ports is becoming the hazard to navigation it was in the 17th and 18th centuries.

From 1890 to 1940 man enjoyed the warmest climate the world had known for 5 or 6 centuries. Dr. Reid Bryson, Director of the University of Wisconsin's Institute for Environmental Studies, thinks that the relatively warm period from 1890 to 1940 was only a brief intermission in the Little Ice age, a perid of worldwide expansion of snow cover, mountain glacier growth, and Arctic pack ice which began in the 15th century and became pronounced by the 17th century. There were three major glacial advances in the Alps, Norway, Iceland and Alaska and elsewhere around 1650, 1750 and 1850 separated by slight withdrawals. Average annual temperatures in England and perhaps worldwide were 1 to 2 degrees Centigrade colder than they were before or since (as at 1974). In the USA average Midwestern temperatures in the 1850's were as much as 4 degrees C. colder than they are in 1974.

GERMANY MAY STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON AS RENEWABLES INCREASE

Germany is aiming to cover 80 percent of its electricity demand with renewables by 2030, and have a largely decarbonised power supply by 2035. To make sure the lights stay on at all times as the share of intermittent renewable energy increases and coal is phased out, the Germans plan to build hydrogen-ready gas power plants, but these may not materialise fully as investment risks are too high, warned energy associations BDEW and VKU. Read more here:

Note to UK government - Even Germany is not planning to decarbonise its electricity supply completely by 2030, but they are struggling to achieve 80% by 2035.
