THE DEMONISATION OF FRACKING IN THE UK

This excellent new video by Paul Burgess explains how fracking has been given such a bad press that it is now impossible to give it a fair hearing in the UK. This is at a huge cost to the country.

NET ZERO LOSING APPEAL IN AUSTRALIA

Recently the Australian Government has been very supportive of net zero policies, but they are becoming unpopular with the public there just as they are losing support more generally due to the high cost of energy resulting in increased cost of living and job losses.

 Finally, on the edge of extinction, the Australian opposition start to fight on Net Zero « JoNova

NEW BREAKAWAY CLIMATE CONFERENCE MAKES A LOW KEY START

Colombia and the Netherlands co-hosted the first Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels Conference in the coastal city of Santa Marta in Colombia from April 24–29. The conference brought together governments from 57 countries – representing one-third of the world’s economy – to create practical, accelerated roadmaps for phasing out coal, oil, and gas. The states in attendance included EU member states and the U.K. However China, India, the U.S., Russia, Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were all absent.

THE VOLCANIC ERUPTION THAT CHANGED OUR UNDERSTANDING

On January 15, 2022,  Hunga Tonga volcano on the floor of the South Pacific exploded with enough force to punch a plume 35 miles into the sky, says the Daily Galaxy. Nearly four times the water contribution of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption, which had been the modern benchmark for volcanic atmospheric disruption.

LABOUR PARTY CLIMATE DOGMA TO DESTROY NORTH SEA OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

 Despite the recent oil and gas shortages caused by the Iran conflict, the UK Labour Government are determined to push on with their ideological attack on UK fossil fuel extraction. See the article below, taken from a piece in the Telegraph.

TRUMP FINDS A NEW WAY TO STOP NEW OFFSHORE WIND PROJECTS

Here;s the new Plan B.

The administration enters into legal settlements with the wind farm developers, whereby the government pays the developers substantial sums of money to walk away from the projects. Oh, and as a kicker, the settlements require the developers to reinvest the settlement funds in oil and gas projects in the U.S. The first such settlement was entered into with the French developer Total Energies in March, and then in late April the administration concluded two more such settlements with other developers.

NEW RESEARCH - 'CLIMATE CHANGE' HAS NO IMPACT ON PRECIPITATION

In the last 300 to 700 years, no precipitation pattern has emerged in Scandinavia, Asia, or Central Greece which can be linked to manmade impacts or post-1950 CO2 increases (Stridbeck et al., 2026, Cai et al., 2026, Sakalis and Kastridis, 2025).

COUNCILS WILLING TO GO FURTHER ON CLIMATE POLICY

Much of what councils do is to implement what their national governments give them, but there are some areas where a council can choose their own policy and here we see that Copenhagen City has chosen to go further in restricting the diet of those in rest homes as this article explains,

There seems little democratic freedom here. The climate agenda is a big bonus to those who enjoy controlling us.

UK NET ZERO JUST GOT MUCH TOUGHER

When you are struggling to reach a target, is it a good idea to make that target even more difficult? The UK Government seem to think so.

OIL AND GAS NOT STRANDED ASSETS AFTER ALL

 What stranded asset? Norway opens up 3 old, gas and oil fields and 70 new exploration sites « JoNova

Amid sharp price rises in oil and gas since the US and Israel’s attack on Iran in February, Oslo has given its approval for oil and gas companies to explore in 70 new locations in the North Sea, Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea.

At least their government is putting its own people first instead of just putting up taxes. If only our leading politicians would learn from them.

BANS ON ADVERTS FOR MEAT AND FOSSIL FUELS IN EUROPE BEGIN

Banning adverts for widely popular products seems to fly in the face of peoples rights to a free choice in a democratic country. I wonder if the news below will be copied by others, or will there be a backlash?

INFORMATIVE MATERIAL ON THE SCIENCE OF GW

Below is a link to a 31 page deposition given by three very distinguished scientists to a judge in a legal case. It covers the whole area of global warming and includes diagrams, graphs and tables. Some parts of it are quite technical and hard for a layman to follow, though presumably the judge was not a scientist. The questions at the end were particularly interesting and well worth reading

USA SHOWS WORLD DOMINANCE IN OIL AND GAS

In a striking display of America’s energy dominance, the United States has shattered export records for crude oil, diesel, and gasoline—delivering a powerful message on Persian Gulf Day as military options against Iran remain firmly on the table. This landmark achievement underscores the remarkable strength of U.S. production and refining capacity, even amid global tensions. 

If only the UK had continued to extract the oil and gas that exist around and under our territory we could be reaping the rewards right now. But no, our government would rather forego that and head for net zero instead.

FUTURE CLIMATE PREDICTIONS ARE NOW LESS SCARY

The whole climate scare is based on predictions based on how much CO2 is emitted. The computer models link the amount of CO2 with the degree of global warming which in turn gives predictions of sea level rise and even amounts of floods, droughts etc.

What has just happened is that these scientists in charge of the computer programme have decided that the scenario with the greatest emission of CO2 is simply not possible (something that many scientists have been saying for years). So they have now removed it in the latest version. 

The problem is that this "impossible" scenario has been used to produce the scary headlines and by political leaders as a reason for bringing out costly policies. Are they now going to admit that they have brought in unnecessary policies - of course not.

HOW PUBLIC VIEWS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE ARE CHANGING

According to an article on the BBC website, this is why climate change is not a vote winner: 

Concern about climate change "had taken second place to issues like cost of living, economy and also immigration" in recent years, the environment psychologist explained, citing a hypothesis known as the "finite pool of worry".

The share of the UK public who have said the country needed to reach net zero sooner than 2050 had nearly halved since 2021, according to a recent study by King's College London, Ipsos and the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations, external.

The proportion of people who feel the target's not needed had risen from 9% to 26% over the same period.

The fact is that support for net zero is something that has been built on exaggeration and confusion between weather (short term) and climate (based on long term averages). People are starting to notice this, and the more it is pointed out the less people will worry. 

HAVE ANY UK COUNCILS REVERSED THEIR CLIMATE EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS?

 Here is the answer:

• Durham County Council formally scrapped its 2019 climate emergency declaration in 2025 following local elections that brought a Reform UK majority. The council replaced the formal declaration with a focus on social care and other local priorities while continuing some environmental programs.

  
  
• Kent County Council has also voted to rescind its 2019 climate emergency declaration and abandon previously set Net Zero 2030 targets. The council now emphasizes local economic considerations and has implemented an Energy and Low Emissions Strategy in place of the original targets,
• So will more follow after the local elections as climate sceptic parties such as the Conservatives and Reform take control of councils?
