I think David Starkey hits the nail squarely on the head in this somewhat formulaic presentation.

And William made an astute choice of protagonists as well!

Of course they don't talk about the elephant in the room (is the Climate Change narrative valid?) but "we know our place".

The problem with "Climate Change" is that we fall into the trap of arguing the toss on the basis of "the science" (which is monstrously complex and therefore impossible to prove, and - more to the point - very hard to disprove in the minds of most).

But the truth of the matter is that it isn't science, it's propaganda.

So let's look at it from that viewpoint...

What is propaganda?

Neither more nor less than the art of deluding the public to believe something that isn't true. The Nazis of Germany in WW2 are reputed to have been adept at this skill (but I don't think they were by themselves). What was their secret?

"tell a lie big enough and repeat it until people believe it"

Obviously, the ideal world for the propagandist is one in which the media of the day are controlled. In Germany in 1940 the

This news will no doubt come as a horrible shock to many, but it's hard to argue with the cold facts.

No doubt that is exactly why the supporters of Net Zero don't like to talk about the facts, preferring to emphasise the emotional arguments - but when were wars won by emoting?

As they were never taught in school, emotions are useful for driving your attention and purpose, but thereafter we need evidence logic analysis planning and execution to get to where we want to be.

The 'orrible Nigel, erstwhile scourge of the EU, now (some think prematurely) retired to journalism, spills the ghastly truths that climate change campaigners won't touch:

The earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have made the news recently, but there have been many others around the world in recent times.

Much speculation has been centred on the assertions that at least some of these have been created deliberately. How on earth is that done? By using electromagnetic waves at enormous power to mess with the ionosphere, it is asserted that earthquakes below the heated area may be triggered. You wouldn't need power to move the tectonic plates, just enough to trigger release of the building tension between adjacent plates.

The HAARP (high frequency active auroral research program) installations around the world are supposed to be for monitoring and research purposes, but they are connected to electrical supplies capable of massive power - such as might be required to attempt such feats as to trigger an earthquake.

It's no secret that our schools are not teaching our kids how to think - they are teaching them what they want them to think.

This was brought home to me in 2019 when I attended a General election hustings at a local school - there was no dissent, climate change was an emergency and what were we going to do about it?

"Give me the child until seven, and I will give you the man, said Aristotle, a phrase understood down the ages"

"... there are few ideas in today’s climate political agenda that require more faith than the forecasts of climate models"

Succinctly put.

"The school briefing notes suggest that climate models 'have been used to make accurate projections for the past 50 years, and have advanced significantly during this time' "

"In fact, it would more accurate to say that they have

Oh dear.

It seems that no responsible politician can make any innocent move to improve our environment these days without becoming the butt of a fresh conspiracy theory.

Everybody knows that "the Science is Settled", so how is it that whenever any responsible politician takes some small step towards limiting emissions, some disgruntled amateur sleuth pops up to try to trash his efforts by throwing up all sorts of inconvenient facts that he's dredged up in a mere hour or two fumbling around on the internet?

You really couldn't make it up.

The technocrats who would rule the world may not understand that they do not understand.

What you don't understand you cannot control.

They would control the world through their AI algorithms - but could the AI understand the manufacture of something as simple as a pencil?

Could it really track its "carbon footprint" (or whatever other notional key performance indicator(s) they may from time to time dream up)?

Well, perhaps for a pencil it could be done? After all, it's simply a question of breaking the problem down into its constituent parts, tracking each individually, and then apportioning some part of the cost of each constituent to the resulting pencil. Yes, this would be a multi-levelled process but in principle...

But what about the accuracy of the necessary assumptions underlying each individual part? For instance, the costs of the pencil factory. What

"This coupled variability improves the performance of statistical models, which project further weakening of North Atlantic Oscillation, North Atlantic cooling and hiatus in wintertime North Atlantic-Arctic sea-ice and global surface temperature just like the 1950s–1970s"

So we have our old friends the climate modellers, still busily introspecting on how to make their simplistic models reflect the mind-boggling complexity of our global convection and volcanic heating and cooling systems, not to mention the characteristics of the solar heating and cooling systems that influence our entire planetary solar system.

And who is to say that similar galactic systems hitherto undreamed of may not also be governing the heating/cooling cycles of the entire Milky Way?

Am I alone in thinking that the hubris of our ever-more-intricately-modelling pseudo-scientists knows no bounds?

This is a considerable discussion (some think made more pertinent by Greta's recent arrest!) where an Israeli academic is interviewed by an Israeli Christian missionary.

This is a wide-ranging discussion that probably touches on any climate question that you can think of.

"... you need to dig into the data "

"... we need power when we need power... "

"... more people die from cold than from heat... "

"... is CO₂ really something that causes temperatures to rise?"

Whilst the Mayor of London may want to hobble motor transport within the metropolis, it seems that not all local councils are on board with this scheme.

Sutton council: "We are taking this step to send a strong signal to the mayor that he must start listening to local people"

Harrow council: "Our growing coalition of London councils are not satisfied with the justification for the expansion and remain strongly opposed to it"

It's encouraging to see local councils stepping up to demand some democratic legitimacy for these policies - write in to your councillors to show them your support!

And if your council supports the ULEZ, write and tell your councillor why you disagree.

Yes, it's a normal British winter, even if the rail employees nurses and border force (that went down well didn't it?) and our perfidious political classes are determined that we should make the worst of it. Keep warm if you can, but don't you know we have a war to fight in the Ukraine?

(Are you winning it yet? Do you have any exit strategy for when the truth eventually becomes inescapable? What was it to do with us in the UK anyway? Why did we not encourage Zelenskyy to negotiate a settlement whilst he still had some negotiating cards to play and many thousands still lived who have now died?)

Well, if you are planning to listen to Greta at Davos this week you may get a slightly skewed viewpoint of how our planet's much-maligned climate is doing. It's a bit like asking our politicians how the war is going. Or asking our striking border force how the squaddies are managing all the arrivals.

This is a huge topic but the reality is very simple - can we link the predicted "extreme weather" events (or even any predictions) to "climate change", and did those predictions come about?

Since the climate has been said to be changing for 50 odd years now, we should be able to point to some predictions that have indeed come about, and in view of the severity of the proposals put forward for combating this menace, we really ought to be able to point to some concrete evidence that (a) the predictions so far have been quite good and (b) we understand quite well how these predicted phenomena work.

In short, let's look at the evidence.

And by the way, models are not necessarily "science".

Models can only be regarded as scientific if they

Our politicians and media are by nature prone to oversimplifying -

"We will fix the NHS by giving them the money they need"

"Drive diesel cars to reduce CO₂ emissions"

"Drive petrol cars to reduce particulate emissions"

"Drive electric cars to reduce emissions"

"Privatise monopolies to improve their performance"

"Nationalise the railways to improve their performance"

"Regulate the Utility companies to improve their performance"

Yeah, right.

Take a step back, the world is more complex than they would have us believe.

Possible objectives of our UK Green Energy policies:

1. Reduce our CO₂ emissions overall
   
2. Reduce traffic emissions in city areas
   
3. Show the world that our Green policies work, thus giving them a lead to encourage them to adopt the same policies and thus reduce overall global emissions
   
4. Reduce our energy costs
   
5. Reduce pollution

Bearing in mind that UK CO₂ emissions are a tiny fraction of global emissions, if we can't show other countries that our green policies are successful in

   (a) keeping us and our economy powered

   (b) reducing our CO₂ emissions

then these other countries will see no incentive to follow

Setting the scene for the battles to come, Kate Mason explains the real intentions behind the UN's Sustainable Development Goals for Farming for 2030.

Farming WEF-style that is.

"We are in the middle of one of the largest psychological operations of our time, to invert our understanding of what is healthy... a focus on altering our perception of food from something that is grown naturally in the earth, to something that is synthetically engineered in laboratories... farmers are being demonised whilst massive corporates are dominating the markets with synthetic foods... "

That isn't even the half of it.
