HOW REPORTERS MISUSE A TRAGIC STORY TO PUSH THE "CLIMATE BREAKDOWN" NARRATIVE

A single storm—even a deadly, destructive one—says nothing about long-term climate trends. Weather is not the same as climate. Weather extremes resulting in floods have occurred in Spain for centuries, well before modern industrial emissions.

EUROPE'S ECONOMY IS IN TROUBLE DUE TO HIGH ENERGY PRICES

Europe has succeeded in slashing carbon emissions more than any other region—by 30% from 2005 levels, compared with a 17% drop for the U.S. But along the way, the rush to renewables has helped drive up electricity prices in much of the continent. It is crippling industry and hobbling Europe’s ability to attract key economic drivers like artificial intelligence, which requires cheap and abundant electricity. 

“Very clearly the cost of the transition has never been admitted or recognized,” said Gordon Hughes, a professor at the University of Edinburgh and a former adviser on energy to the World Bank. “There is a massive dishonesty involved.”

OFF-SHORE WIND FARMS HAVE BAD EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT - NEW STUDY

Offshore wind farms set in motion a complex network of turbulence, warming, microplastics, and infrasound. The combination of these factors shifts climatic and ecological processes, shaping both the atmosphere and the marine environment. The results signal that these far-reaching technical interventions can no longer be viewed as isolated or negligible fringe phenomena.

CoP STARTS A ROADMAP - BUT WHERE IS IT GOING?

 In each hard case that had to be decided by the participants, there was going to be a roadmap for getting someplace, someday, which was often unspecified. But there were no roads so no map. An issue resolution roadmap normally specifies methods and milestones. In this case the only method was ever more meetings.

Why would the delegates want to see an end to these jamborees? They have become an end in themselves. An annual get-together to occupy a large number of people who have come to believe in their own importance.

CoP 30 PROPAGANDA TO CLAIM SUCCESS OUT OF FAILURE

"The COP30 agreement claims the world was previously on track for more than 4C of warming until the Paris Agreement heroically “bent” that trajectory down to 2.3–2.5C  However, “this is misinformation,” says Roger Pielke Jr., Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. It is a fiction built on the carcass of RCP8.5 — the extreme scenario that scientists quietly abandoned years ago because it required impossible coal use, implausible demographics and an economic collapse that never happened."

 COP30 Is Lying To Justify Its Existence - Clintel 

The truth is that the Paris Agreement has resulted in emissions of CO2 rising year on year, just as they did before. The fact that temperatures have not risen in line with the computer predictions is because the predictions were exaggerated. CO2 has not caused the warming.

CoP 30 ENDS IN A FUDGE

One thing that most people can agree on is that these climate conferences seem to achieve little or no progress. After 30 years, fossil fuels still account for over 80% of the energy used in the world and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has continued to rise throughout. To call this a success would leave most people bemused. In fact cynicism is now the usual response from the public who regard the great and the good who fly in private jets to these events, and then lecture us on how to cut back on our own small emissions, as utter hypocrites. The cost of all this is obscene, when set against so much poverty in the world. This must stop.

ALARMISTS LOSING THE ARGUMENTS ON CLIMATE AND GETTING DESPERATE

The article below seems at first to be a real threat to those opposed to the policies to reduce CO2 emissions, or even challenging the scientific arguments which underpin the whole reason for them.

The awkward thing for the alarmists is that they must allow freedom of speech and the democratic rights of people to speak and write freely, even when they don't like what the people are saying or writing. So what do they mean by "climate denialism" when there are so many highly qualified people putting forward very rational arguments. 

So the threats are, in reality, only applicable to those making ridiculous arguments, and even then it will be difficult to stop them. It all seems to be a load of hot air.

GERMANY'S SELF IMPOSED CLIMATE POLICY - A RECIPE FOR ECONOMIC DISASTER

Here is another good article from Clintel. The climate policies proposed and being followed by some nations is quite remarkable. This article covers a lot of issues, but the one that caught my eye was what is happening in Germany.

 Germany wants to be climate-neutral by 2045 – a self-destructive plan: Germany’s reduction will inevitably be offset by rising emissions in other EU countries. This is because European emissions trading ensures that emission rights that are not used in Germany are used up in other EU countries. 

With its Climate Protection Act, Germany has imposed restrictions on itself that will have a highly painful impact in the coming years. The German Climate Protection Act, cemented by the Federal Constitutional Court, seems like a recipe for economic disaster. It allows Germany only a residual budget of 6.7 gigatons of CO2 from 2020, which is likely to be used up by the early 2030s. According to the law, penalties, shutdowns, and restrictions on freedom will then be imposed in order to meet climate targets. It does not sound like much fun!

JAMES HANSEN WAS RIGHT

James Hansen one of the key architects of the idea that the world faced a "climate emergency" has been proved right, not about the "emergency", but about his assertion that the industrial nations would not give up the use of fossil fuels. In the article linked below author Robert Bradley looks at some of the prophetic statements made by Hansen. 

As the article states, the most sensible and much more economical policy would be to adapt to extreme weather events, which have always happened and no doubt always will. We have already spent enough money on the net zero policies with very little to show for it. Instead we could have protected our coastline against severe storms and put in better protection to prevent rivers from flooding our homes.

It is generally a very slow process, but with sudden restrictions being put in place, such as the London emissions scheme, ULEZ, Other councils are following suit with similar schemes and parking charges are rising along with restrictions on parking provision. The reason for this is the dual policies of reducing CO2 emissions and reducing pollution.

NEW MOTORING TAX ON THE WAY

The Telegraph explain how the system will work:

While the specifics are still discussed, The Telegraph can reveal that the scheme would be aligned to the annual payment of vehicle excise duty (VED), which affects all UK motorists. EV drivers have had to pay the charge since April.

The new element is being described as “VED+” and being framed as a way to get drivers of green cars to pay more each year.

EV drivers will be asked to estimate the number of miles they will drive in the year ahead and pay a fee, set in the current plan at 3p per mile.

SCIENCE BASED TARGET INITIATIVE ? (NO, ME NEITHER)

So you, like me, have never heard of this. Well now I have, let me give you some facts.Nearly 900 companies – including several large international corporations – have withdrawn from the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This initiative requires members to set scientifically validated climate targets in order to align their emissions goals with international standards. However, more and more companies are questioning the feasibility of these requirements. The withdrawal affects approximately seven percent of all participating companies. (So you can see that this was a big burden on businesses)

The extra costs incurred in complying were bound to lead to higher prices for consumers. However once people start leaving and returning to competing on price it is the firms left in this project that will be left struggling. It is the return to a free market economy.

 893 companies have withdrawn from the global climate initiative

PRICES DRIVEN UP BY "VOLUNTARY" ESG RULES

 ESG is the “environmental, social, and governance” criteria that Greens devised as a tool to coerce compliance.

The strategy is clever and relentless. ESG advocates form “voluntary” industry groups that lock in their radical priorities from the start. Then, they lean on major corporations to join these pacts — or else face coordinated boycotts and damaging PR campaigns. Take the U.S. Plastics Pact, for instance: Greens would argue that it encourages the reduction of waste and increases recycling etc. whereas others will argue that it’s a targeted assault on the plastics, food, and petroleum sectors, with an explicit mission to trigger a “profound paradigm shift” and drive “systemic change” in how these industries operate. 

Whatever side you are on there is no doubt that it results in increased costs for the consumer and when taken to the extreme it limits choice and drives out competition.

Now a coalition of state Attorneys General, led by Florida A.G. James Uthmeier, has written to environmental groups demanding to know how their use of the Pact to fuel their activism does not violate antitrust laws. Uthmeier is joined by the Attorneys General from Texas, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. Read their full press statement at CFACT.org.

“Radical environmental activists do not have the right, nor the avenue, to suppress business operations in our market,” Uthmeier said.

BILL GATES SOFTENS HIS STANCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE

On the cusp of COP30 in Brazil, Bill Gates has launched a 17 page memo called Three tough truths about climate.

Bill Gates can see what’s coming (a reckoning for the renewables debacle), and he is repositioning himself so he doesn’t go down with the ship. Indeed, he’s almost writing an escape plan for the whole Blob. In a nutshell, he’s admitting between the lines that wind and solar power are unaffordable, and since climate change won’t actually be that catastrophic, everyone should calm down while we invent technologies, and in the mean time, get back to stopping people from starving. Wouldn’t you know, he says “Health and prosperity are the best defense against climate change.”

NATURE IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF WARMING SAYS NEW PAPER

The study scrutinizes the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) hypothesis, which attributes all observed warming solely to human-caused GHG emissions. Using satellite data from the CERES program and Ocean Heat Content (OHC) data from the ARGO float program, the author analyzed the Earth’s Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiation imbalance—the net energy flux into the Earth’s thermal system. By comparing observed energy trends with theoretical forcings, the study concludes that natural factors play a significant and dominant role in the warming observed since the mid-1970s.

The UK Government can go on for another almost 4 years before another General Election, so it is strange that the Party's most successful Leader is now calling for it to water-down its leading policy.

They will not abandon net zero, but they will stop talking about it and try to bring it forward by stealth.

The End of Paris? – Climate Scepticism

"to limit ‘global warming to below 2°C’ – i.e. to achieve the Paris Agreement’s ‘well below 2ºC’ target (Article 2.1 (a)) – global emissions should ‘decline by about 25% from 2010 levels by 2030’. Therefore, as 2010’s global CO2 emissions were 34.0 Gigatonnes (Gt), they’d have to come down to about 25.5 Gt by 2030 to meet the target. But the world’s 8 largest emitters (China, the USA, India, Russia, Indonesia, Iran, Brazil and Saudi Arabia) together already emit more than 25.5 Gt (see Endnote 1) – and all are likely to increase (or at best stabilise) their emissions over the next five years. Therefore warming of at least 2ºC is a certainty."

90% OF AIR-BORNE MATERIAL IS NATURAL

There is a drive among environmentalists (who are now a massive number of people in local and national government) to persuade the public that all our problems are a result of mankind and if only we would stop polluting the air everything would be fine. In fact there are a vast range of natural pollutants which we can do nothing about, as this extract from Wikipedia explains 

"Human-made (anthropogenic) aerosols account for about 10 percent of the total mass of aerosols in the atmosphere as estimated in 2010. The remaining 90 percent comes from natural sources such as volcanoes, dust storms, forest and grassland fires, living vegetation and sea spray, emitting particulates such as volcanic ash, desert dust, soot and sea salt".  [Particulate matter - Wikipedia ]

They could have included pollen and spores from bacteria yeasts and mould which we know are harmful. It is this lack of balance that is misleading. Human pollution has decreased a huge amount during the past 50 years or so and yet there is more emphasis than ever on reducing our now small contribution further, which comes at an ever increasing cost.

MET OFFICE TRY TO DESTROY THEIR OWN FAKE DATA

The UK Met Office have been under increasing scrutiny over that last year or so. Their chief tormentor, Ray Sanders, has been gathering more and more evidence that much of their temperature data has been fabricated. As the net has tightened they have resorted to try and prevent him from uncovering the truth by banning him from using the Freedom of Information Act to ask awkward questions. Now, in a desperate (but ultimately futile) effort to hide their malpractice they have removed large chunks of the fabricated data from their website. They have done this because they know that the pretence of claiming that the data has been calculated from "well correlated" nearby stations is simply fiction.

The deletion of material from a website does not make it disappear as copies of the original are still retrievable. It doesn't end there because this fabricated data has been used to produce the evidence of rapid warming, and so this must also be seen to be altered, if not discarded, as it is tainted by the now obliterated fake data.

They must now be made to own up to what has been going on. How this can be achieved remains to be seen.

The record was just over 93,000 in April 2024, but in September I had 276,238. I do wonder where the traffic comes from, particularly since Google has decided not to help anyone find the blog.

PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS TO DO EVEN MORE TO SET THE USA LOOSE FROM THE UN CLIMATE STRAIT JACKET

President Trump should begin the formal process to end U.S. participation in the UN 1992 framework itself. The treaty explicitly provides a withdrawal mechanism: a country may notify the U.N. and, one year later, the exit takes effect. If the Paris executive pledge could be reversed, this Senate-ratified foundation can be lawfully revisited as well.

THE WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING THROUGH THE USA

President Trump's administration is really pulling every string to stop the previous government's climate change policies. The link below refers to how they are trying to stop wind farms being built by using the courts to overturn contracts, and apparently succeeding. This must send a warning to all those companies that have entered into any agreements that they will now face an expensive battle. The government is also changing the language used by various bodies under its control, such as preventing certain words from being written into their documents. It is quite extraordinary, like banning a religion. but that is what climate change has become.

TRUMP CHANGING WORLD VIEW ON CLIMATE

The speech that President Trump gave to the UN sets out very clearly the direction in which the USA will be moving, but there are still Democrat states like California that don't want to follow, however they are still having to change as they see that their old policies of restricting the extraction and use of fossil fuels is making them look foolish and impoverishing their people.

DEMOCRACY IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH NET ZERO

This article chimes with my own thoughts, which are that no democracy could achieve net zero, as the public would simply vote out any government that inflicted the loss of freedom required to achieve it. Here in the UK we have had a unified approach by both the main parties, but now that we have made all the easier decisions we are coming to the tough ones where it is going to hurt the public in terms of restrictions and even higher costs. These policies will not get any party elected.

The greenlash is here: Britain cannot afford Net Zero and democracy at the same time

WHY 1976 WAS THE HOTTEST SUMMER EVER

The Met Office claim that the summer of 2025 was hotter than 1976. Below Ray Sanders explains why they are wrong in a very convincing way. Despite this, there is never any debate on mainstream media. Instead they simply accept what the Met Office claim at face value without attempting to challenge them in any way.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPEECH TO THE UN

 Here is a link which has the entire speech on it: Trump to UN: ‘Climate change is the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world’ « JoNova

It is an incredible speech which has received very little coverage in the mainstream media, considering the content. Now, I am prepared to say that the President does exaggerate his own successes and boasts about them too much, but considering that his teleprompter was switched off and he had to ad lib it was a remarkable effort. 

His remarks about climate change were, to a large extent, spot on, though he could have said that there is some truth in the fact that humans have probably caused some warming. Where he was correct was when he said that the policies to switch to renewables and stop using fossil fuels was causing great harm to our economies and exporting our jobs.

No other leader would dare to speak to the UN in the way he did. 

BRITAIN'S INDUSTRIAL DISASTER

Former Conservative MP and government minister, Sir John Redwood has written an important piece, linked below, in which he looks at the reasons behind our industrial decline. The government's net zero policies are the crucial factors. Industrial decline is leading to economic decline, and in a vicious circle this leads to higher taxes which makes it even worse. We desperately need a new approach starting with the removal of the Climate Change Act and all that flows from it.

GLOBAL CLIMATE POLICY HAS FAILED SAYS NEW YORK TIMES

"When politicians who advocate for oil and gas win landslide victories, while carbon taxes are political suicide, even The New York Times has to admit that global climate policy has failed."

GOOGLE CLOSE DOWN FREE SPEECH

 I previously discovered that this blog has been de-platformed by Google, but I have since found that it is not only my blog but a number of other highly distinguished blogs that have suffered the same fate.

such as:

go to Tallbloke'stalkshop

Warning: The blog "Tallbloke's Talkshop" is known for publishing climate 

change misinformation and does not reflect the scientific consensus on 

climate science

. For accurate information, it is recommended to consult 

established scientific resources instead of relying on this site. 

"Tallbloke's Talkshop" is a blog that promotes climate skepticism, frequently 

publishing misleading content that questions mainstream climate science. 

The site has been publicly criticized for spreading false information, such as 

the baseless claim that the UK Met Office fabricates climate data. [ it is Google 

that is making baseless claims, as the evidence on Tallbloke'stalkshop clearly 

shows they are fabricating temperature data for non-existent weather stations]

go to Notalotofpeopleknowthat

Warning: The blog "Not a Lot of People Know That" (notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com) is run by Paul Homewood and is 

known for promoting climate change misinformation. Its content does not 

align with the scientific consensus on climate science and should not be 

considered a reliable source. 
The blog's content frequently contradicts the evidence-based findings of 

established scientific bodies like the UK Met Office and the Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It has a history of publishing false or 

misleading claims about climate data and climate change impacts, as 

highlighted by reports from reputable sources.  

Time to do away with this partisan search engine which tries to sensor what 

people can see and thereby brainwash the public. There are other search 

engines out there.

THIS WEBSITE DE-PLATFORMED BY GOOGLE

 Just for fun I asked Google to go to this website Climatescience.blogspot.com. Here is 

what it came up with:

go to climatescience.blogspot.com

"Based on search results and public knowledge, 

climatescience.blogspot.com 

was a climate-skeptic blog on the Blogspot platform. While its content is still 

observable via feed services, it is no longer actively maintained or widely 

referenced. The blog was known for publishing content that cast doubt on the 

scientific consensus regarding climate change. 

It is distinct from the authoritative and long-running climate science blog 

RealClimate, which is run by working climate scientists and is located at realclimate.org. 

Please note: The search results indicate that the climatescience.blogspot.com 

domain is associated with a "scare story" viewpoint on global warming. For 

current, accurate, and scientifically-verified information, it is recommended to 

visit blogs and websites that adhere to the scientific consensus. "

So it says this site is "no longer actively maintained"! It is a wonder that anyone 

comes here at all, and yet this month I have had over 180,000 visitors!

AUSSIE CO2 EMISSIONS STALLING

Nearly all the “climate action” we’ve paid for in Australia has only reduced emissions by 3.9% in 20 years

Anthony Albanese is proud that Australia has reduced emissions by 28% since 2005, but doesn’t tell Australians that 24% of that was in land use, mostly because we let scrub and forests grow back. And now he’s talking of reducing emissions by 62% by 2035?

UK' s LOOMING ENERGY CRISIS EXPLAINED

A good new video from Paul Burgess explains what is becoming increasingly alarming. It is something the UK government will do all it can to avoid, but the policy of net zero is making it ever more likely, as we move ever closer to the cliff edge. We are taking bigger risks, like a gambler trying to recover his losses. There is bound to come a time when we face a cold spell with a wind drought and the inter-connector not giving us enough and hey presto!

NEW CLIMATE SURVEY BY THE TIMES NEWSPAPER

 British people are fed up with paying more to “combat climate change” « JoNova

The number of Britons who think the dangers of global warming have been exaggerated has jumped by more than 50 per cent in the past four years, new research for The Times reveals today.

One in four voters now believe that concerns over climate change are not as real as scientists have said, amid growing public concern at the cost of the government’s net zero policies.
