All sorts of things are being plotted using the "climate crisis" to conceal the true objective. The Chinese Communist Party can sponsor climate lawsuits that cost US companies big money, tie them up in court, slow them down, and sometimes bankrupt them, and that’s for cases they don’t win.

Many of us fondly remember the Dad's Army TV series showing how an army of enthusiastic, but ill-equipped civilians prepared to fight Hitler's army should a land invasion have occurred. It is becoming apparent that our Met Office is also relying on well-meaning amateurs to look after its weather stations as this article shows:
As the article says, it is no fault of the site-owners, but they are being asked to provide the data which are under-pinning the government policy that is asking us all to become worse off. The public are completely unaware that they are being deceived in this way, and the government are complicit in using this poor quality information.
The research, led by the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published in Geophysical Research Letters, analyzed satellite observations to find between 1.5% and 3% of the world’s storm cloud zones have been contracting each decade in the past 24 years, says Phys.org.
The trend has been linked to changing wind patterns, the expansion of the tropics and storm systems shifting toward the North and South poles
If you look at the figures and charts in this article you can see how the costs have spiraled over the past decade. They are now a very significant cost of over £10 per MWh. No wonder renewables aren't cheap!

If only these experts could understand that the only reason our electricity prices are so high is because they are loaded with £20 billion of subsidies for renewables every year. The very consequence, therefore, of the CCC’s own policy advice since the very start.
Cut Electricity Bills, Says CCC | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
Two months ago the UK Prime Minster told the world Britain would go “all out”to accelerate Net Zero, to bolster energy security and weather control, because “it’s in the DNA of my government”. This week, the same Prime Minister says he will save factories by cutting power bills for more than 7,000 of the most energy-intensive businesses “by up to 25%” by slashing net zero charges. So the companies that produce the most CO2 will be excused, because they will go out of business, but the rest of the UK can pay even more, because they aren’t going broke yet.
It seems that the Spanish government has no intention of revealing the true cause of the blackout of April 28. This thought-provoking essay by a Spaniard reveals how the political consensus is leading to complacency.
The new type of thermometers work in a completely different way to the traditional liquid in glass (LIGT) ones, usually mercury. The new type are platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) which react more quickly to sudden changes in temperature. You can follow the details below in this new (to me) blog. I am adding this blog to my long blog roll as it has some other good articles in it.

Scientists are beavering away coming up with new information all the time, but the mainstream media only focuses on one small part of the picture - that which is fed to them by the climate alarmists. Here is an example of the type of information you will never see on your main TV channels.
New Study: Antarctic Ice Sheet Melt Will Lead To Widespread Cooling, Sea Ice Expansion
"It's only words" was the lyric of a famous Bee-gees song, and words are all we have to describe things. As Jo Nova says in the linked article clever people control the language and so they try to shape our understanding and we must not be fooled by this. We need to read into what exactly is meant and make sure that we expose the use of euphemisms and call a spade a spade.

This was a leading story on the main BBC news last night. Have you noticed how these stories are pushed out whenever we get a spell of hot weather? They are accompanied by footage of animals sheltering from the heat and dogs and people cooling off in the water. The inference here might be that as the situation appears hopeless, we might as well give up - like someone on a diet who discovers that they haven't lost any weight.
But no, there is still a chance if we keep going we can still make a difference - every scrap of CO2 saved will stop a tiny amount of global warming. People are unconvinced by such arguments. Why should they continue to deprive themselves while other nations wage war and their leaders swan around in private jets to attend conferences to lecture the rest of us? These messages are largely falling on deaf ears.

The UK plans to use the interconnectors linking the UK with France, Holland, Belgium, Norway and Denmark to back up the UK’s own power stations on “tight days” when supplies are stretched.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/18/britain-to-rely-on-france-to-avoid-blackouts-this-winter/ This is all very well, except that they will probably be relying on us to help them. What a farce! Time to stock up on candles and extra blankets.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will start pushing legislation that would fast-track ambitious national projects to boost Canada’s economy, now faced with Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called “nation building” projects – like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors – and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years’ time.
Antarctica experienced record low temperatures in late 2023, particularly during late winter (July-August). These extreme cold events were observed across a wide area, impacting both East and West Antarctica, including the Ross Ice Shelf and the Antarctic Peninsula, according to The Watchers here.
The irony just couldn’t be greater, as all we hear in the fake media are stories about big icebergs breaking off somewhere, and everyone being (mis)led to believe the South Pole is melting when clearly as a whole it is not.

The central role of the RCP8.5 ‘business as usual’ model scenario, much featured in recent IPCC reports has polluted climate model predictions for years with its wild and improbable claims of carbon dioxide emissions and soaring temperatures. A huge number of science papers incorporating the pathway are published by obvious Net Zero activists, and their ‘scientists say’ fairy tales are sped on their way by blinkered journalists in the mainstream press. The science writer Roger Pielke Jr. notes that RCP8.5 has been “falsified” – but Net Zero must not be given up at all costs.
The Great Climate Science Swindle Goes On – The Daily Sceptic
A New York nonprofit bankrolled by Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked entities is at the center of a controversial state climate law that could force fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion over 25 years for climate mitigation projects. The Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC), which received millions from Chinese state-owned banks and Washington taxpayer funds, has aggressively backed the “Climate Change Superfund Act,” sparking a federal investigation and constitutional concerns. Critics argue the law, signed by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul in December 2024, threatens U.S. energy security, inflates consumer costs and represents undercover influence by Beijing to undermine American sovereignty.

So much for coal being phased out. This may be the case in the UK and Western Europe, but in China, Russia and many third world countries they haven't got the message as you can see in this article:

Substantial evidence has emerged to suggest that the UK Met Office is promoting the political cause of Net Zero by using recently introduced sensitive thermometers to collect 60-second unnatural heat spikes. These pulses are used to promote constant clickbait ‘records’ and claim exaggerated atmospheric warming.
Furthermore, it appears that these short-term ‘spikes’ are larger in junk sites with massive internationally recognised ‘uncertainties”. Almost eight in 10 of the Met Office’s nationwide temperature measuring stations are in junk CIMO Classes 4 and 5 with possible errors up to 2°C and 5°C respectively.
For years business leaders have been encouraging the government to proceed with their net zero policy and now they have realised that the result is ever higher energy prices which are hitting businesses, making them uncompetitive. Be careful what you wish for!
The reconstruction clearly distinguishes centennial-scale warm periods such as the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Roman Warm Period (RWP), and millennial-scale African Humid Period (when the Sahara was green, lake- and fauna-covered). These warmer centuries (millennia) were accompanied by wetter, much more humid climates.

Recent scientific work has found the rate of greening has actually been increasing since the turn of the century. Ask Grok for recent coverage of this important trend in the BBC and Guardian, and the answer comes back with none since 2016. Global greening heads a long list of taboo subjects for captured journalists promoting the political Net Zero fantasy. Also on the not-to-do list is the pause of the Arctic sea ice extent since 2007, the continued strength of the Gulf Stream, record growth for three years of coral on the Great Barrier Reef and North American wildfires in the last 100 years running at barely a quarter of those recorded back to 1600.
Organisations, like Carbon Brief only exist as a result of funding from rich donors who push the climate scare and so they obey their paymasters and push out one-sided stories. Unfortunately for them they are easily debunked by the data, as in this case.

Larry Fink, head of BlackRock, claims people don’t care about renewables now, they just want power:
The reliance on gas power for data centers is a departure from previous thought, said Larry Fink, founder of global investment firm BlackRock, speaking to a crowd of industry executives at an oil and gas conference in Houston in March.
About four years ago, if someone said they were building a data center, they said it must be powered by renewables, he recounted. Two years ago, it was a preference.
“Today?” Fink said. “They care about power.”

Estimates of the cost of net zero are about as reliable as a weather forecast for two or three weeks time. But this does not stop people giving them out. Here is a piece about the latest efforts:
John Rentoul’s Fake Cost Of Net Zero | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
When climate activists talk of reaching net zero by 2050 to save the planet what do they actually mean? The reality is that it would save less than 0.5 degrees C. at a cost of many trillions of dollars. Once people realise that, they rapidly go off the idea. We are currently living through a period of financial austerity and cuts to vital services which are much more important to people. Listen to this talk by a very distinguished atmospheric scientist to hear this truth explained in a simple way.

In Germany it seems a number of German weathermen have been getting acutely aroused every time a model sees a heat wave in the pipeline 2 weeks out. The media make headlines out of them. Over at German Weather Channel here, Jan Schenk suddenly warned of “a 100-year summer” with temps soaring to 40°C in Germany. “One of the hottest summers ever is in the cards at 70 to 100%.”…

The surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gained 622 billion tons of new ice and snow since September 1. This is the most in at least eight years, and is far above the the 1981-2010 average.
