Another country, another council bemused, befuddled, and brainwashed by the green blob.

What is the defence? We must insist upon due diligence and democratic accountability.

Due diligence - check out what we are told and importantly, check out the counter-narratives. Which is plausible, which is actually proven? Or are neither proven? If not proven, then is the the proposed change of status quo justified on balance?

Assess both the upside scale of the opportunity and the downside of getting it wrong.

Democratic accountability - explain our recommendation, the counter-recommendation, the consequences of both, and put it to a vote of our constituents.

Now if we are just installing traffic lights, the downside of getting it wrong is probably relatively trivial, but if our constituents lives are going to be seriously changed then give them both barrels (both sides of

Has the onward march to our Net Zero future got  bogged down in the quicksand of government "incompetence"?

Every passing day it seems that more reasons emerge to indicate that Net Zero is the impossible dream.

The latest dive behind the scenes into what is actually going on (or not going on) comes courtesy of Fortune and Freedom.

"Renewable energy projects are taking decades to connect to the electricity grid. High voltage lines are proving as popular as wind farms"

You could say that it's gridlock.

Rule 1 - heap up the regulations

Rule 2 - make them as complex as possible

Rule 3 - wage lawfare

Something similar coming to the UK soon I don't doubt.

We don't do party politics on this site, because we believe that the party political system (a) acts as gatekeeper to prevent people of "unsound" views from getting elected and (b) if any do by some mischance get through this filter, they will be controlled by the whip system to vote as the party desires rather than in the interests of their constituents. 

Those who control the political party leadership (by whatever means) have Parliament sewn up.

If the leadership of the very few major parties are all controlled (by whatever means) by a single controlling entity (UN-WEF partnership anybody?) then we live in a dictatorship.

That said, the Reform Party has just chucked a googly onto the playing field perfectly timed to warm up the next general election and to remind the population (warning - words are insufficient to do this justice but I'll try) of the extraordinary parliamentary and legal contortions that followed the last National Referendum, when they

"... policies that are affecting people now... the implementation of those policies is being done at a very local level... that is, the local councils... the policy has come straight down from the highest levels, UN, direct to local authorities... and then the local councils are enacting the policy without any real consultation with local people... "

"... it's becoming worse and worse every day because they are developing the devolution which is the 'levelling up' we hear about... "

"... they should be consulting with people which of course they are not... "

Call me old-fashioned, but what if everybody is missing the point?

Whilst we are worrying about farmers' livelihoods and our food supply, the WEF and all its nonsensical edicts, the jabs that can do no wrong (despite pages and pages of "extremely rare side-effects"), is there yet another deadly menace that we should be worrying about, perhaps above all others?

When I was a lad I read a book, I think by amateur astronomer and author Patrick Moore,which told a story about evil rays from an outer planet (I think Saturn) which were being beamed to Earth (possibly via Mars?) and caused everyone to go quite mad and kill each other through wars etc. Does anybody recall the title?

Well, maybe he wasn't entirely off-beam in that! We certainly can detect a war fever which seems to have infected our body politic, that is so insistent that Russia must be fought and Israel "defended" at any cost - despite clear indications that their chosen defence now amounts to

It's a long drive to Truro, wherever you start from.

Martin Geddes went to report on the Cornish farmers protest against the Net Zero Nonsense that so besots what passes for our government.

"No Farmers No Food" signs much in evidence, and family reminiscences from years gone by.

We are all human, and humans have families, and we all depend on our farmers.Sometimes our leaders should remind themselves of that.

Richard Vobes is out on location talking to the bowler-hatted farmer.

The UK currently grows less than 50% of our food.

The government wants to phase out food imports by 2030, and is offering farmers incentives to take 20% of their land out of production and / or to give up farming.

We don't need a degree in mathematics to work out the likely result... (and when did we vote for these idiocies?).

Of course there may be reasons for these policies but would you plan for them?

Save the Planet! 

Watch the Movie!

You know it makes (non)sense!

"Tell me what I'm denying, because I am quoting... directly from the official UN scientific reports"

Maybe they're a bit late to the party, but every little helps.

"This film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are witnessing an increase in extreme weather events – hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and all the rest. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. On the contrary, it is very clearly the case, as can be seen in all mainstream studies, that, compared to the last half billion years of earth’s history, both current temperatures and CO2 levels are extremely and

It has taken 4 years to move from Obsessive Covid Disorder to a point where we may now perhaps indulge in some rational argument about what really happened in 2019-20, and how we might actually more sensibly work in the future.

Leaving aside all the technical virological and counter-measures arguments, it is apparent that the situation management of early 2020 where "the science" met "the government" in a conflicting and fast-changing muddle of overthrown pandemic preparedness and panic (which saw much of the former somehow displaced by much of the latter), this contribution by the good folk at the Global Warming Policy Foundation is, if not completely timely, at least on target.

What has Covid got to do with Global Warming? Both involve serious interaction between "government" and "science", so should be subject to a set ofcommon principles.

More from Net Zero Watch - or, to dig a little deeper, from the Royal Society, no less.

They have uncovered a problem with the modelling of methods to deal with the intermittency of "renewables". Yes, it's odd that isn't it? But it's becoming almost routine rather than unprecedented to find problems with "the modelling" these days.

I suspect that because modelling is (or can be) rather complex, the public has a tendency to consider it something that scientists do and it must therefore be "scientific" - but that is an error. It might reflect science if done well, or it might just reflect the prejudice and/or error of the modeller. And if the modeller is modelling something that isn't fully understood in the first place, well...  the result isn'tlikely to be very close to useful.

In this case, they

The CCC (the Government's Climate Change Committee) has a problem.

It is legally obliged to solve an intractable issue.

Nuclear takes too long to implement, "renewables" are too intermittent, and everything else creates CO₂ which cannot be released. So what to do with it?

Carbon capture is a safe political solution in so far as it has always been assumed that new technologies will be invented to solve the problem of sequestration. By extending this assumption, nobody need look too closely at the implications, so "job done" for today.

However, time waits for neither man nor novel technologies, so the CCC has had to do a bit more assumption-wangling to make it look like it has some plausible solution that could solve this tricky situation.

Essentially, by compressing this terrible CO₂ to a sufficient degree, it can be pumped underground into

Does anybody really understand AI?  Doubtful.

Is AI really exemplified by the AI apps that have so far been released by the Googles and Microsofts of this world for the public to play with?  Very Doubtful.

Are "they" really planning to build an internet of AI that can monitor and control, even generate,  everything we can see and everything we can upload, even (eventually) everything we can think? Tick.

Isn't that insanely technically challenging and probably untestable?  Tick.

And could it work?  Maybe, in parts...

So it will take them for ever to get it to that point? Probably.

So we have time...  Sorry, Nope.

The truth is that it wouldn't matter to

I suspect, I hope, I have faith that political life in this country is growing up.

In many places now we see the stirrings of disillusion, the crumbling of the assumption so assiduously cultivated until now, that having a choice of political parties at elections equates to freedom of choice.

What matters to the man on the Clapham Omnibus is not the colour of the party in power, but whether its policies are to the overall benefit of the people. We see now more clearly than perhaps ever before that on the policies that matter to the WEF, all major parties are at one with the monarchy.

There was a time when Parliament was happy to project the views of the people to the monarch and act as a restraint upon the monarch's power - Charles I took the fall in 17th century to achieve that status quo, yet here we are in the twenty first century with Charles III in close cahoots with the WEF corporate global oligarchs, and a supine Parliament in full lockstep with

Definition of insanity: - keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.

After innumerable years of government subsidy for developing "renewables" as a power source to replace "fossil" fuels, one might begin to understand that if we don't have progress now that "fossil" fuels are as expensive as they have been for many years (thanks to our benighted leaders' obsession with weakening Russia by all means possible) then it seems reasonable to suspect that "renewables" are not going to cut the mustard. Not now, not ever, certainly not any time soon.

So since the convoluted strike price mechanism so clearly failed, the government is taking action to reprioritise fuels that workdouble down on renewables by increasing the subsidies. Evidently, despite telling us all

What do we want our farmers to do?

Do we want them to grow food?

Or do we want them to curate the countryside, growing trees and wildlife at the expense of food, so that we can live as stone-age hunter-gatherers?

Most European farmers seem to have concluded that they don't want to return to the stone age, and they suspect that we wouldn't want to either.

They also suspect that growing plants that take up CO₂ isn't the disaster that has been portrayed.

I can't think what has possessed them to think that way when the great and the good at that fount of global instruction the WEF, have so clearly determined where they want us to go, but perhaps we should, in the interests of inclusivity, listen to their

Humanity is at the cross-roads - and on board a bus being driven as hard and fast as possible into a future that nobody has tested for safety - despite "our safety" being the go-to excuse of our elites to lock us down, jab us with who-knows what, feed us with who-knows what, confine us to quarters, and generally ride roughshod over all our traditional time-honoured freedoms.

Have we noticed yet?

Or are we still too busy playing ever more responsive silly games on our phones?

Do we the people have to separately investigate, conduct our own safety trials, determine any effects detrimental to the environment, document and prove the harm that any and each of these novel technological marvels may do to us and/or the environment, to the satisfaction of a legal system that takes forever, charges exorbitant fees, and may not even be fair and even-handed?

"The Radio Wave Packet... will be a basic tool with which to penetrate the wall of denial, to place wireless technology alongside climate change on the world’s agenda of greatest assaults on life and most immediate threats to survival"

This international initiative is formed to "do what it says on the tin".
