The political shell game around net zero is to claim that someone other than taxpayers will foot the bill. Germans are discovering otherwise, and the political uproar is a warning to other governments. If only the U.S. had such a mechanism to stop green boondoggles like the Inflation Reduction Act.
THE myth of cheap wind power has been well and truly demolished, but unfortunately it is the public who will pay the cost.
During the period of global cooling which set in after the 1940s, Arctic sea ice expanded massively, and it was this that powered the storms of the 1990s. Since then then Arctic sea ice has receded again, thus weakening the thermal gradient because temperatures in the tropics have barely changed.
IT IS abundantly clear that the establishment will do all it can to shut down anybody who challenges its control of the media narrative, as Ofcom’s continuous vendetta against GB News shows.
SADLY, at the time of writing, five people are believed to have died as a result of Storm Babet last week. The climate porn merchants immediately jumped in to claim that climate change was responsible.
ACCORDING to all the experts, Arctic summers should have been ice-free years ago. In 2007, Nasa warned that the ice would all be gone within five years. Two years later, leading Arctic expert Al Gore told us it would probably disappear within seven years.
The SMB does not include ice lost through calving, which the DMI calculate separately. When this is factored in, there is a small net loss of ice each year. But this loss has been taking place since the end of the 19th century following the end of the Little Ice Age, the coldest era in Greenland since the Ice Age.
Globalism, climate-change alarmism and cultural self-annihilation have all come under serious challenge.
The new moral order our secularist elites have been busy constructing since the end of the Cold War is collapsing around them.
The floods and resulting deaths had nothing at all to do with climate change, and were instead caused by the collapse of two dams built by a Yugoslav company in the 1970s and which had had no maintenance for the last 20 years. It was a tragedy waiting to happen.
THE myth that our energy bills would come tumbling down thanks to the abundance of cheap offshore wind power has finally been blown to smithereens by the failure of the latest auction for the Contracts for Difference subsidy scheme to attract any bidders.
