  • Miliband's Land of Climate Myths and Legends

    2024-12-02

    The Daily Sceptic reviews the tall tales spread by the ever-expanding network of philanthropist-funded NGOs and other assorted "non-profit" (and certainly non-democratic) agencies and special interest groupings 'of the people'.

    The UK is steadily being hollowed out to house a subservient population that believes everything they are told, eats what their lords and betters give them, travels only by self-propulsion, and visits only approved destinations such as vaccination centres, abortion clinics, euthanasia parlours, and (if you are lucky enough to have a job) workplaces.

    Prepare yourself.

     

  • Reflections on Scamdemics of all Kinds

    2024-12-01

    Mike Yeadon on his Telegram Channel pulls up a couple of interesting articles that go to the heart of the factors that make a scamdemic possible - or in opposition, impossible.

    Enjoy!

    First up - how they may likely have done it first time around, the 1918 Spanish Flu (and did much the same the Covid time around). At least we were (mostly) spared the spraying of poisonous substances everywhere (unless perhaps we lived in certain parts of China).

    Secondly - how to avoid falling for it all. The number one attribute that parents and teachers must develop in our kids to equip them to spot and sidestep these pan-societal illusions with an appropriate degree of nonchalance.

  • Verbiage Transitioning Incoming

    2024-11-29

    "... people will have to adjust their habits to meet Net Zero emission goals for 2030"

    "After 2030, consider that all beef, lamb and dairy will be banned and 'replaced by new diets' ”

    "... there is 'insufficient time for the planning, development and construction of new large-scale infrastructure to contribute to the 2030 target'"

    "... wind and solar power creates a problem with intermittency. 'Eventually, this must be addressed by either demand-shifting or storage'

    For "demand-shifting" read "rationing" or "service outages" or whatever your favoured expression for being 'involuntarily disconnected' / 'priced out' may be.

  • Shock Climate News!

    2024-11-23

    We have all become inured to the never-ending stream of announcements of climate doom from a vast array of people who hope to sound prestigious but should know better.

    It's like an unstoppable river, an ever cascading flood of doomsday predictions designed to put the unwary in so much fear of incoming doom that they will turn to anybody that will proffer a solution (even politicians) no matter how extreme and consequential such solutions may turn out to be.

    We are well down that road now, and more or less used to disregarding these emanations as a deluded but inevitable backdrop to daily life - so it is slightly startling to find an article by the apparently eminent Clintel Foundation that unambiguously  

    "declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary “climate emergency” is at an end"

    Phew!

    This is clearly the end of the era.

  • Renewables under New Threat?

    2024-11-22

    Are renewables sinking beneath the waves of new unpredictable threats?

    Does Ed Milliband have a solution? Could we afford it?

    And what does this mean for the security of subsea internet connectors? 

    If the power goes and the internet goes, then modern life may become impossible in short order.

  • COP29 Triumphant!

    2024-11-20

    Baku, Azerbaijan hosts the COP29 meeting of the great and the good, although possibly not (according to our source) the brightest and the best.

    Still, it's important for the Project that the man on the Clapham omnibus shouldn't feel too obliged to actually understand what goes on at such gatherings, because then he might get the impression that it's all a rather incompetent and ineffective snouts-in-the-trough kind of jamboree, and that would risk being counter-productive; so Baku being a long way away with no convenient transport links to Clapham is probably an ideal location for the venue, especially when we factor in the language problems.

    Unhappily for the Project, doughty Canadian Dr John Robson took up the challenge of (a) actually getting there (all the way from Canada!) and (b) reviewing the turgid nonsense on display for our education, amusement, and downright horror that so much could be expended on achieving so little. That man deserves a medal.

    Brave New Weather?

    2024-11-18

    Well, no, actually. More or less the same old weather.

    Lots of variability as before, but nothing significant to hang the Climate Change hat upon.

  • The Juggernaut Rolls on Regardless

    2024-11-13

    Bev Turner provides a round-up of the current state of play in the ongoing war of minds between those who would centralise control over the minutiae of our lives at the global level, and those of us who believe that one-size-fits-all at that level means the death of  individual inspiration and aspiration.

  • How Do We Know When a Politician is Lying to Us?

    2024-11-12

    It's an old joke, and of course the answer is:

    "when we see his lips move"

    Of course it's not as simple as that...

    ... or is it?

    II have to confess that on all the major issues of our day, it seems that both the politicians and the "free" press (mainstream) have consistently "been mistaken" and determinedly continue to "be mistaken".

    It's your view that counts.

     

  • Neil Oliver Draws the Necessary Conclusions

    2024-10-30

    It's hard to argue with Neil, so I won't.

    Yes, we've heard it all before, but this is as close to throwing his toys out of the pram that I have seen our normally serene and civilised Neil approach.

    "The legal definition of genocide is the committing of acts with the intention to destroy a people"

    But is Ed Miliband stupid? (Is he even real?)

  • Climate Change - Distraction for the Masses?

    2024-10-30

    Dr John Robson does a splendid job of entertaining us all with perfectly simple, logical expositions illustrating just how idiotic the climate change policies are.

    He's been doing it for years and yes, it's an easy target... perhaps too easy if you ask me.

    You don't have to think very hard to understand the inconsistencies, and we've all had many years to get to grips with the obvious flaws in the logic. Yes, I know that some people will never "get it", but eventually the majority will "get it".

    So what was the purpose behind it? Why bother to foist such a vast scam on the public for so many years that we've all become inured to it?

    Is it simply to drive us all bonkers by the unrelenting idiocy being so capably presented by our politicians, to the point where maybe we feel obliged to riot in

  • "Up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance ... is unaccounted for"

    2024-10-29

    One might believe that the World Bank would have enough bean counters to keep track of its expenditures...

    ... but maybe one might be wrong about the involvement of bean-counters.

    Given that climate finance has been a largely political hot potato seemingly since time immemorial, perhaps after all it's no surprise that politicians have taken their eye off the ball, but is the World Bank controlled by politicians or by bankers?

    Bankers one might suppose to be well-versed in the ways of auditing, so it's a bit of a surprise to note this Oxfam report  that uncovers such a gaping hole in the World Bank's climate disbursements.

    (But are Oxfam not supposed to be countering famine rather than counting expenditure designed to reduce CO2 emissions? Are they yet another outfit that has been somehow distracted from their founding purpose?).

    Clearly there is

  • Politician Says the Unthinkable!

    2024-10-17

    A mainstream UK politician in the running for party leader:

    "... legally binding carbon budgets would have to be done away with"

    Oh my! How long have we waited for this statement of the obvious?

    To be frank, it's never been clear who would be sent to jail when inevitably the legal targets are not met, so the whole business of legally enforceable  targets always was a theatrical pantomime - but then parliament has been a pantomime for a long time now, and especially since the infamous Brexit referendum.

    Welcome this straw of good sense whilst it lasts.

     

  • A Calm Assessment of Climate Panic

    2024-10-16

    Dr John Robson of Climate Discussion Nexus interviews Dr Judith Curry, providing a reasonably wide-ranging discussion which inevitably focuses on the complete lack of common sense in our political circles, both national and global.

    Yet still the unanswered question remains - at what point do we stop attributing the global insanity to mere incompetence, and start to seriously consider whether other factors may be a better fit to the observed situation?

  • Will We All be Suffocated by a Green Blob?

    2024-10-07

    Well, maybe it's not such a daft question after all... some have already suffered such a fate, although in that particular instance the problem was reportedly caused by natural causes rather than human activity. I doubt that was of much consolation to the people affected.

  • SMRs for Ever?

    2024-10-03

    A dollop of long overdue logic from Nick Hubble of Fortune and Freedom to blow the clouds of obfuscation away from our "green" but flaky energy future.

    What are the practicable solutions for our seemingly intractable national electricity supply problems?

    Well, local electricity generation, obviously.

    Take it out of the hands of national government and free ourselves of their ridiculous dogma, their oft-demonstrated ability to screw up large scale infrastructure projects, and their total disconnection from real-world engineering reality.

    Read all about it.

  • Define "Word Salad"

    2024-09-22

    "Word Salad" in general means a collection of imposing-sounding words which communicate no sensible message.

    Certainly no precise coherent message.

    The art of the word salad has been refined over many years by that putative global fascist dictatorship known as the New World Order.

    It's a long and carefully executed attempt to bamboozle the world population into accepting their pronouncements without argument, because... well, how do you argue with an interminable pile of nonsense?

    The people pushing it always have more labyrinths of nonsense to send you around!

    The pile simply has to be rejected in toto.

    Happily I am spared the need to dive in and demonstrate the meaninglessness of the pile of garbage because the inimitable Ivor Cummins has done the demolition job already.

    Net Zero Unaffordable? Not to Government ...

    2024-09-16

    After all, government can simply up the tax rates and freeze the thresholds (not to mention the pensioners - so I won't. After all, with the new assisted dying rules coming down the track, they will likely take care of themselves, if they can get an NHS appointment. And if they can't, the government can fast-track them).

    So when will public realisation explode into action?

    Nick Hubble has a theory.
