"We have only one way out in the short term, and that’s for Britain to start using the UK’s massive gas resources... "

Red rag to the green lobby bull?

But do we really want to hamstring the entire nation this winter by continuing to pretend that all fossil fuel is the work of the Devil, and we'd rather freeze and stay at home for the highly dubious proposition that such an act of self-flagellation will help save the world?

More likely it will just encourage the Indians and Chinese to build yet another coal-fired power station, knowing that we in the UK are too stupid to realise that we are giving them the freedom to do so!

Like all government initiatives, energy policies that they hope will lead us to "Net Zero" do have unintended consequences.

CO₂ is not a pollutant. It is essential for life.

More CO₂ means more greening of the Earth - what's not to like?!

The Bruges Group brings us Jeremy Nieboer, author of the book "Climate, All is Well, All will be well.

This site welcomes all level-headed contributions to the climate debate, a debate which in my view is not a debate at all - it's just propaganda, and you can't debate with propaganda.

Jeremy is a very gentlemanly presenter, but listen carefully. He makes very pertinent points which everybody should grasp - about the science, the pseudo-science, and the politics of

Briefings for Britain step out into less familiar terrain today with their article on the latest proposals to put a tax on meat "to stave off climate change".

They apply the time-honoured technique of verify-by-approximation to test whether the assertions being made by various (not necessarily disinterested) parties in support of this notion actually stand scrutiny. Do the numbers stack up?

Well, (this to be read in a slow and deliberate 'countryfied' accent!) "Oi think the arrrnser loies in the soil":

"Soils contain more carbon than plants and the atmosphere combined, using agricultural practices to sequester carbon would be better for the environment than taxing meat. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation sustainably managed soils can sequester up to 2.05 giga-tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year"

The Drax power station used to burn coal. It was converted to burn "biomass" (wood pellets) at some cost because wood pellets are "renewable". But does "renewable" mean "renewed" in the aggregate?

In any event, they are not renewable quite as quickly as they are burnable, so unless vast numbers of trees are newly planted so that the annual biomass reduction is more than matched by annual biomass regrowth...    the whole basis upon which this "netzero" "green" fuel is consumed falls apart - and that's before we consider the carbon costs of mining and transporting coal or gas against the costs of growing felling drying pelleting and transporting Lithuanian or American forests to the UK.

Lets us arbitrarily assume that 10 million trees are pulped into biomass annually to feed a power-station. If each mature tree takes 10 years to grow, than we would require a forest big enough initially to provide biomass for ten years, in this case 100 million trees minimum.

"yesterday, 3 November, saw a new record for the total daily cost of balancing the GB electricity grid. The previous record of £38 million, twenty times the current daily average, was smashed by a margin of £6 million, with the new record standing at £44.7m"

Actually, yesterday was 2nd November, so I assume a spot of finger-trouble at the key-board face, but no matter. The costs of net zero are coming home to roost, both in terms of money and unwanted CO₂ emissions from that dirtiest and most demonised of fuels, coal.

The cause? Low wind. Yes, yet another confirmation that on many occasions, the wind doesn't actually blow. Tranquillity reigns. Should the nations activities also come to a stop? A few more similar days in the middle of winter will no doubt concentrate the mind in due course.

A quick skip through history to set the scene for COP26 in Glasgow (without Russia, China, Japan).

Wuhan "had 10000 5G transmitters"

Extreme lock-down, imposition of "vaccines", global green plan.

So the Big Corporate '99.9%' are doing all they can to stave off their bankruptcy.

More countries are becoming independent of the globalists - this is huge.

Will the COP26 fall apart?

Whatever your stance on Climate Change, this presentation has much good sense to offer, so pro or anti, this presentation is recommended for you.

Healthy soil and improved crop yield can only be a good outcome regardless of the associated draw-down of that old devil, carbon.

What "Big Agriculture" will make of it all is yet to be determined, but clearly elimination of the over-use of pesticides herbicides and artificial fertilisers may cause indigestion in some quarters. 

Be that as it may, this is a stand-out presentation that demands to be seen. I suspect it may change your view of life on earth for ever.

We rely on our government ministers to know what they are talking about.

After all, if they are not properly advised then who is?

So when they openly tell the most extraordinary fibs we really ought to be worried. And when they fib about the costs of the national energy supply upon which our economy depends and upon which we depend in order to meet our basic needs for cooking, keeping warm, and travelling, then we really ought to be extremely concerned.

It really isn't good enough to say that "Oh, well, it's all about going green and we know that they have been spinning the yarn of all yarns about the need for change and the benefits of windmills and the need to subsidise the initial investment in order to kick-start the market and the world will end in six months if we don't JUST DO AS GRETA TELLS US"... 

This has been going on for so long now that we are well past our brow-beat-by date.

LarouchePAC explains what they think is going on at COP26 in Glasgow (not sure where they get the idea that Glasgow is in Switzerland - I hope they don't catch the wrong flight).

This is a conference of the Parties - not of the nations. Who are the Parties? They are whoever is invited by the UN.

"a giant step toward the elimination of national sovereignty... the destruction of national economies, and the killing of hundreds of millions, if not several billion people" 

Don't say you weren't warned.

Zerohedge reports on the gargantuan costs of getting to Net Zero over 30 years, as estimated by Bank Of America's latest thematic research report "Transwarming" World.

The five trillion dollars annually for 30 years it estimates would have to be met by - guess what - QE.

In a world already on its uppers due to pandemics (real or imagined) and consequent public upheaval, this I think comes under the heading of "it isn't going to happen", because it can't happen.

"... biggest QE episode in history, one wrapped in the "noble" veneer of fighting for the most important cause in the history of civilization, but in reality it's just the biggest wealth transfer scheme in history"

"it's all one giant spectacle meant for the masses"

Yes, it's another article critical of "green" energy policies, and well worth reading, not for the green/ungreen arguments but for the unspoken assumptions upon which these arguments are put forward.

We have heard a lot about Net Zero recently and we will likely hear a great deal more as COP26 bursts upon the media scene at the end of October, so it is entirely fitting that we mark the launch of a new web-site that will monitor and analyse developments in government green policy and its effects on the real world in which we must all continue to live.

So congratulations to the stalwarts at the Global Warming Policy Forum for setting up this initiative, and we wish them every success in their quest to inform public opinion and to bring reason and logic to this otherwise largely religious debate.

In its latest UK News release the GWPF (Global Warming Policy Forum) warns "our" government that sending heating bills sky high by applying green levies on top of high and rising fuel prices may not be the best way to endear their policies to the people, already bruised and battered financially through lockdowns, pandemic costs, and the associated closures of small businesses.

Being also bruised and battered by the effective curtailment of NHS and private hospital services that have sent waiting lists rocketing and patients both fuming and despairing, they may not be in any mood to indulge his government's reckless pursuit of zero carbon UK, when push comes to shove and the bills drop through the letterboxes of the nation.

“Government considers temporary nationalisation of energy companies to stop collapse”

"Minister warns of ‘really difficult winter’ amid rising energy costs and food shortages"

Yes, it's that 'conservative' word "nationalisation" again. Sir Kier must be groaning at the pursuit of socialist policies so arrogantly being bandied about by the Tory's - isn't "nationalisation" supposed to be Labour Party property? Maybe (along with the Green Party) he should have a word with the Met about such blatant theft.

Clearly failure of government to recognise failure of government policy is nothing new -  Climate Discussion Nexus has the appropriate rejoinder: "As was once said of Philip II of Spain, 'no experience of the failure of his policy could shake his belief in its essential excellence'".

So the green zombie policies march unthinkingly on...

The Sunday Telegraph today carries a report on the way that the costs of transitioning the UK to "net zero" may not have been transparently and independently assessed, leading to a likely misrepresentation of these costs to Parliament.

"Committee on Climate Change spreadsheets only revealed after 2 year freedom of information campaign"

"... analysis of their financial models by the Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF) shows that key assumptions were not credible even at the time the report was published"

"... but it is now clear that the CCC’s costings were incomplete, biased, and grossly misleading"

"The GWPF’s analysis of the CCC’s costings is ongoing, and further announcements are expected in the coming weeks"
