When the government and most of the media concentrate on alarmism, this site is the antidote for those who don't believe the scare stories - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Of course the mere number of signatories does not "prove" anything, other than there is a serious body of opinion which disagrees with the claim. However, there are some people who deserve to be listened to more than others due to their high level of achievement and the latest signatory clearly comes into that category. Patrick Baeuerle is not well known to the general public, but I was blown away by the list of achievements listed in the article below:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> <a href="https://clintel.org/patrick-baeuerle-is-signatory-nr-1900-of-world-climate-declaration/">Patrick Baeuerle is signatory nr. 1900 of World Climate Declaration - Clintel</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I am honoured to find myself agreeing with someone who has such a brilliant mind.</span></p>Derek Tipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07893712146272196994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881436054697063063.post-58177542815023813142024-03-15T07:30:00.001+00:002024-03-15T07:30:00.131+00:00THE COST OF DECARBONISING STARTS TO UNRAVEL<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Although I do not expect the country to reach net zero for the reasons stated in previous posts, we will nevertheless spend a great deal of money in trying to get there. In doing so we will miss out on a number of other important measures we could have done instead which would have made a big difference to the lives of many of us.

But look at the huge sum to be spent on heat pumps and other measures to achieve net zero and then think about what this means for the future housing provision for those who need it.

Food will become more expensive. And the eco-friendly changes we’ll all be forced to make, such as insulating our homes or switching to electric cars, will be extremely difficult ’for low-income households’. The ICS concludes that the poorest 40 per cent of households are at risk of falling into ‘transition poverty’.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">As shocking as this statistic is, the report is no rant. A team of researchers from ICS, Trinity College Dublin, and the universities of Leeds and York have thoroughly reviewed the policy changes and instruments – subsidies, taxation and so on – most likely to prove effective in reducing emissions of CO2. And they have concluded that these Net Zero measures will push down living standards for a lot of people in the UK.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Essentially, the general effect of Net Zero is similar to that of </span><a href="https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/01/28/sin-taxes-are-taxes-on-the-poor/?modal=logged-in" style="background-color: white; color: #878787; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title="https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/01/28/sin-taxes-are-taxes-on-the-poor/?modal=logged-in">regressive taxation</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">. Just as a tax that is the same for everyone will most hurt those who earn the least, Net Zero policies mete out more pain to those who are least well-off. This won’t just affect the very poorest though. As the ICS warns, even ‘middle-income households that were not previously experiencing financial precarity’ might struggle.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">The report also highlights the other depredations brought about by Net Zero. For instance, the added cost and difficulty of car travel will reduce people’s leisure opportunities.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">The report certainly pulls no punches about the downsides of Net Zero. But it does not challenge the green transition itself. It instead calls for a ‘just’ transition to ease the socio-economic pain caused – a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;"><a href="https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/02/27/net-zero-is-a-war-on-the-working-class/" style="color: #878787; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" title="https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/02/27/net-zero-is-a-war-on-the-working-class/">Full post</a></strong>Derek Tipphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07893712146272196994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881436054697063063.post-10906698598661663842024-02-28T07:30:00.001+00:002024-02-28T07:30:00.136+00:00CHINA WAY OFF TRACK TO MEET EMISSION TARGETS<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #302226;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">“Another year of rapidly rising emissions in 2023 leaves China way off track against its target of cutting carbon intensity by 18 per cent between 2021 and 2025,” said Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). “As a result, carbon dioxide emissions would now need to fall by 4 to 6 per cent by 2025 to hit the goal.” </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #302226;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">So the rulers of the West buy their transformers, solar panels and wind turbines from The Coal Giant, while pretending they sincerely want to reduce coal use.

If given a choice between net zero and economic success, our politicians are disturbingly clear which takes precedence.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It’s the same story throughout the economy. We have allowed energy prices to soar, planned to close down our own offshore oil fields, and held back the growth in fracking even as it has delivered economic booms in North America.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We have ignored the fact that these choices are putting companies out of business – and are allowing Chinese rivals with far lower power costs to trample all over European businesses.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The harsh truth is that China has weaponised net zero, and turned it into a way of seizing industrial leadership. America is responding, admittedly perhaps too late, and with too much state control. But Europe and the UK have been left floundering, and their industry is about to get wiped out.
