BP GET BACK TO FOSSIL FUELS

This is a seismic U-turn, one that should take the oil giant firmly away from its fancy Beyond Petroleum slogans and even more fanciful attempts to become a renewables group.

Five years ago, BP set some of the most absurd targets among its peers to cut production of oil and gas by 40 per cent by 2030, while ramping up investment in renewables. 

Now Auchincloss is doing the reverse: looking to increase investments in fossil fuels by 20 per cent to £8billion by 2027 while cutting spending on renewables to around £1.2billion a year, more than £4billion less than planned.

CHINA NOT SO COMMITTED TO NET ZERO

SINGAPORE, Feb 13 (Reuters) – China started construction on 94.5 gigawatts of coal-fired power in 2024, the highest volume of new builds since 2015, hampering the country’s transition away from fossil fuels, researchers said

HOW TO RETURN TO CHEAP ELECTRICITY

"It is beyond doubt that if we continue on the Net Zero path we will return to the long-term upwards trend until the economy and/or society melt down entirely."

TEMPERATURE DATA TAMPERING UNCOVERED IN THE NETHERLANDS

It is now becoming clear that altering the temperature records is something which is widespread among those nations which are heavily invested in the climate crisis narrative and net zero CO2 emissions targets. The surprising thing is that no one seems willing or able to call them to account.

TRUMP RUSHES TO CLEAN OUT THE CLIMATE HANGERS ON

Trump in his second term has learnt a lot on how to get things done in a hurry. Just read what he has achieved already and then imagine what he will achieve in four years! If he succeeds the USA will power ahead and the Republicans could remain in power for decades.

UK CONSERVATIVES NOW REALISE THAT NET ZERO WAS A MISTAKE

 Here is further evidence of a clear shift in policy on net zero. It is still only a partial retreat, but either you have a net zero by 2050 policy or you don't. Once the mask has slipped there is no going back. They can see the mess the government is getting into and so they are slowly distancing themselves.

A QUESTION TO POSE TO A CLIMATE ALARMIST

In his latest short video Paul Burgess suggests posing a simple question to a climate alarmist as in this 2 minute video. He says to point out to them what effect all the measures have had on the level of CO2 emissions world-wide over the past 20 years and showing a graph which indicates no effect at all apart from the major recessions and covid. 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. Arguing with a climate alarmist is a bit like arguing with a Jehovah's Witness - it;s very time consuming and you don't get anywhere!

TRUMPS ENERGY AGENDA - LET THE MARKET DECIDE!

Trump’s reversals of the Biden administration’s “all-of-government” policy agenda focused on “combatting climate change” and “environmental justice" and replace it with a new policy  to set free America’s capacity for capitalist growth and human flourishing.

FEWER FOREST FIRES IN N. AMERICA TODAY THAN IN THE PAST

The findings may seem counterintuitive, but frequent low-lying surface fires often maintain balance in forests by reducing fuel sources across large areas, says Phys.org.  They show modern-day fires are much less frequent than they were in past centuries, despite recent record-breaking fire years, such as 2020. The results also reveal that much of the continent is in a substantial “fire deficit,” experiencing about 20% as much fire as in the past. Read more details here:

"EVERYONE IS GIVING UP ON CLIMATE GOALS"

That is the title of this short video by Sabine Hossenfelder, who produces science videos and has a large following. In this video she looks at how the big institutions and companies have backed out of costly pledges. All this was predictable. Fortunately the evidence suggests that the effect of CO2 has been shown to be much less than alarmists were predicting. At the end of the video she mentions a wildlife charity which does good work to try and help to save endangered species. Something that most people would agree is worthwhile. Definitely worth watching, though I find her German accent a bit off-putting.

TODAY'S CLIMATE MODELS OF NO USE - NEW STUDY

Because the current "state-of-the-art" general circulation models (GCMs) cannot simulate the trends and variances in global precipitation over the last 84 years (1940-2023), their usefulness should be reconsidered.

Hydrological processes – ocean circulation, water vapor, clouds – are key components of climate, easily overshadowing the impact of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by a factor of 2,100 (Koutsoyiannis, 2021).

THE LIMITATIONS OF BATTERY STORAGE

The public are being told that battery storage is a viable way of supplying electricity to the grid to cover times when the wind isn't blowing, and so enabling us to do away with most of our gas generating power stations. As this video from Paul Burgess shows, this is not true. Either our political leaders have been misled or they are lying.

NEW CLIMATE TARGETS DEADLINE MISSED BY 90% OF NATIONS

Considering that the world is supposed to be facing a "climate crisis" it does seem odd that so many of the political leaders have not even made a new climate target, unless they don't really believe there is one. The UK are the class swots and are one of the few to hand their homework in on time - but will they keep their promises or are they just empty words?

CO2 EMISSION CUTS SLOWING DOWN

Nations are struggling to increase CO2 emission cuts and so are promising smaller cuts. This is only to be expected as these cuts are starting to hurt the economy and be felt in people's pockets.

WHY HYDROGEN WILL NOT REPLACE METHANE

This video explains why the cost of hydrogen is so high that it would be ridiculous to use it to generate electricity,

Here is more news on this subject. Politicians seem hell bent on clutching at anything that might achieve CO2 emissions no matter what the cost. But eventually they (or their successors) will come up against the real cost and the project will hit the buffers.

NEW CLIMATE CHANGE PLAY COMING TO SOUTHAMPTON

Will this production calm the fears of vulnerable teenagers who have become totally brainwashed by the constant propaganda? 

Bringing the Outside In | Mayflower   Below is part of the intro:

"Amber is alone. She’s not turned up for the first day of her final year of sixth form. She’s terrified of the climate crisis, and everyone knows it. Enter Yerna – a three thousand year old “giant” she accidentally summons, who turns her stuffy flat into a forest oasis!. 

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".

Amber took a load of selfies with Yerma and put them on Facebook with a short video of Yerma explaining things which soon went viral. After that she became a massive celebrity and President Trump invited her to the White House where she explained what had happened to the American public.

BBC PROPAGANDA UNCOVERED

Satellites show that global temperatures have been in freefall in recent months. Since September 2024, they have fallen by a full half a degree Celsius, and yet the BBC claims that last month was the world’s warmest January on record. So what is going on?

HOW TRUMP CAN REMOVE THE CORNERSTONE CLIMATE LAW

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) deals with pollution in the USA and exceeded its powers by claiming that CO2 was a pollutant and was a danger to health. This then allowed it to bring in a whole raft of controls without needing the government to pass any legislation. If Trump is able to overturn this then a huge raft of legislation will fall away. The article below explains how it could be done:

MET OFFICE IN A HOLE, SO KEEPS DIGGING!

A short while ago a researcher, Ray Sanders, reported on some very poor practices going on at the UK Met Office. This received a lot of coverage in the online climate science blogs and also the online news outlet, the Daily Sceptic. Clearly this has come to the attention of the Met Office, which has led to an attempt to rebut some of the claims. The unconvincing rebuttal has only led to another long article pointing out the feebleness of the defence put forward, which is about as convincing as a burglar caught leaving the premises with a bag full of loot.
