60% OF UK VOTERS ARE CLIMATE SCEPTICS

This week, a new polling firm called Merlin Strategy asked voters for their views on tackling climate change. But here’s the crucial thing, it didn’t merely ask them: “Do you support net zero?” Instead, it asked them which was more important: action to achieve net zero, or cutting the cost of living. And guess what they said? Almost 60 per cent chose cutting the cost of living, while a mere 13 per cent chose net zero.

EU CLIMATE PROPAGANDA GOES UP A LEVEL

The paper by Grant et al ticks the full Marxist Bingo Card whipping up class warfare driven by “intergenerational inequality”. It was funded by the EU and is being used to justify the huge cost and deprivation that is being forced on EU citizens. They claim that babies today will live through more ghastly heatwaves than their grandparents born in 1960 did. And it’s all “unprecedented” (they use the term 25 times in the paper).  It’s as if the Holocene did not exist. Sea levels were at least a metre higher 8,000 years ago. How could the world not have been hotter? And how did those cats, dogs, geese and frogs live in the high arctic north of Norway 9,000 years ago. There were thousands of bones in those caves. Do they or do they not exist?

UK TO SPEND £1.5 BILLION TO STOP WIND TURBINES AFFECTING AIR DEFENCE RADAR

Details of the £1.5 billion Project Njord are to be found in the recently-published Ministry of Defence Acquisition Pipeline document. Seven separate amounts of £210 million under the heading “The procurement of Mitigation Solution(s) to negate the adverse effects of offshore wind farms on AD radars” are being given to RAF radar stations from Saxa Vord in Shetland to Portreath on the coast of Cornwall.

The radar problem might eventually have to be solved by a costly transfer of ground facilities to the air. Professor Justin Bronk is a leading expert on air power and technology and he recently noted that unless there was a “breakthrough” in mitigating the effect of wind turbines on ground-based radar, “Britain is going to need a more capable airborne detection service”.

MET OFFICE DISTORTS THE DATA ON CLIMATE AS USUAL

The article linked below contains a few graphs which illustrates exactly why we should not trust the headlines put out by the Met Office. Exaggeration is a form of lying, by not including all the background data. The Met Office cherry picks one temperature figure taken in one place at one time and publicizes it to make a spurious claim. It is high time they were seriously taken to task very publicly over this, but no one wants to do it.

REFORM TO 'WAGE WAR' AGAINST NET ZERO

We are certainly living in interesting times here in the UK after the recent council elections. The breakdown of consensus politics is clear to see. How will the Labour government react to this? And how will the voters react to the behaviour of Reform councils? I can envisage all sorts of unintended consequences, such as industrial action by a largely left-wing workforce.

A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE SPANISH ELECTRICITY SYSTEM FAILURE

The story of the collapse of the Spanish and Portuguese grids with the resultant blackout and damage to their economies has seem to have disappeared from the mainstream media very swiftly. I wonder if this could in any way be due to the fact that the main reason for it was an over-reliance on renewable energy? Something which would be likely to cause a loss of confidence here in the UK in our own grid. The following article takes a good look:

TONY BLAIR THROWS A SPANNER INTO THE CLIMATE CHANGE WORKS

“People are being asked to make financial sacrifices and changes in lifestyle when they know that their impact on global emissions is minimal,” Blair said in a foreword to a new report from his think tank released on Tuesday. What he is saying is simply acknowledging what the majority of people, as he implies, already know. What is new is that Blair feels confident enough to say this publicly. The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, has said similar things. Nigel Farage was the first to say it, and the big wins for his Reform Party prove that large numbers of the public agree. 

Now that these senior figures in UK politics have gone above the parapet, I can only see others following and soon it will become acceptable to voice these concerns. This is how leaving the EU gradually became acceptable.

EXPOSING THE MET OFFICE DECEIT

A new scientific paper by Paul Burgess can be downloaded at: Paul Burgess | Substack Here is part of it: 

 Unreliable UK Met Office Peak Temperature Records: The Airport Runway Problem

 Author: Paul Burgess, B.Sc., M.Sc., Retired Environment Engineer and Water Resources Engineer, Specialisation in Hydro-Climatology Abstract The UK Met Office’s claimed record high temperatures, notably 40.1°C at Heathrow and 40.3°C at Coningsby in 2022, are unreliable due to unaddressed biases at airport runway sites. 

These records, widely publicised as evidence of extreme climate events, fail to account for the urban heat island (UHI) effect, ventilation issues, and sensor calibration problems inherent to airport environments. Estimates suggest the true temperature at Heathrow was likely 36.9-37°C, significantly lower than reported. Furthermore, the Met Office’s use of data from non-existent stations and statistically impossible 33-year averages for short-lived sites casts significant doubt on their data integrity. 

This paper argues that the consistent occurrence of record highs at airports is not coincidental but a direct result of these unmitigated factors, amplified by uncritical media reporting. Introduction The UK Met Office has reported unprecedented temperature records in recent years, with 40.1°C at Heathrow and 40.3°C at Coningsby in July 2022 marking the first instances of temperatures exceeding 40°C in the UK. These figures, set at airport runways, have been broadcast globally as milestones in climate history, driving narratives of escalating climate change. However, critical examination reveals that these records are unreliable due to three unaddressed factors: the UHI effect, inadequate ventilation, and potential sensor calibration errors. Compounding this, evidence from 

Freedom of Information (FOI) requests highlights the Met Office’s inclusion of data from 103 non-existent stations and the use of 33-year rolling averages for stations operational for as little as 8 years. The consistent siting of record highs at airports underscores a systemic issue, as runway environments amplify these biases. This paper explores these factors and their implications for the trustworthiness of the Met Office’s peak temper

THE TIME BOMB IN RENEWABLE GRIDS

Over the past decade, the UK has seen a rapid deployment of renewable energy sites. Solar and wind farms are being rolled out at scale and, on the surface, it’s a clean, green revolution. But step behind the glossy headlines and you’ll find an uncomfortable truth: the power infrastructure supporting these sites is being built to a dangerously low standard.

This isn’t just about cutting corners – it’s about systemic failure in how we treat the backbone of renewable power delivery.

Meanwhile, British Energy Secretary Ed Miliband welcomed “low carbon energy” as playing “a critical role in delivering energy security”.

“As long as energy can be weaponized against us, our countries and our citizens are vulnerable and exposed,” he added. [Talkshop comment – how does importing renewables and batteries from China fit into that concept?] Answer came there none!

 This brief video exposes the propaganda put out by the UK state broadcaster on climate change. It is something which many people are unaware of, since the BBC has a world-wide reputation for impartiality. We associate propaganda with dictatorships and communist regimes. Just because the BBC has this reputation makes it able to give out one-sided material and still be believed. The test is whether the BBC (or any other propaganda organisation) will allow opposing points of view to be heard. Once it is clear that they do not, then it becomes one-sided propaganda and should not be trusted.

WIND FARM SCANDAL REVEALED

When you read about this latest wind farm scandal it shows just how wasteful the rush to achieve net zero actually is. Not only that, but the policy is not even achieving net zero. It is merely posturing and pretending to be doing something, when in practice it is destroying natural peat bog and costing a lot of money to produce a very low yield of electricity.

Rather than producing electricity at a load factor of around 50 per cent, as forecast and promoted by owner SSE Renewables, the Viking Energy wind farm has so far been churning out electricity at a rate of just 17 per cent of what is potentially possible.

The 103-turbine project became operational in summer last year.

The average load factor for onshore wind farms in the UK currently stands at 26.34 per cent. Read the details here:

 Many people would accept that there are times when it is ok to tell a lie, but some issues are so important that a lie is completely unacceptable. In climate change the costs are so high that we must insist on the whole truth. One new way of distorting the truth (AKA lying) is the attempt to claim that extreme weather events have been made a certain percentage worse by climate change. This is called a noble lie because it is in their mind a lie in a noble cause. These are known as climate attribution studies. This is when a particular extreme weather event is studied and then said to have been made much worse by human climate change. This article explains it clearly:

WHY DO THEY MAKE UP DATA?

Why do these state-run weather departments carry on issuing data for temperature stations which no longer exist?

The United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) was established to provide an “accurate, unbiased, up-to-date historical climate record for the United States,” NOAA states, and it has recorded more than 100 years of daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations across the United States.

The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of USHCN’s stations don’t exist anymore.

“They are physically gone—but still report data—like magic,” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, a certified consulting meteorologist.

“NOAA fabricates temperature data for more than 30 percent of the 1,218 USHCN reporting stations that no longer exist.”

SEA LEVEL - NO ACCELERATION FOUND BY AI

 People who want you to believe that there is a climate crisis are determined to show that sea level is rising at an increased rate - in other words accelerating. There have been a number of models made which, the makers claim, show that it is accelerating, but there is one big problem for them - none of the world's long-running tide gauge data show an acceleration. This fact is ignored by the mainstream media and hence the public.

NET ZERO TO ADD £900 TO BILLS BY 2030

Professor Hughes is arguably the UK’s pre-eminent energy economist, and he has calculated that Ed Miliband’s Clean Power 2030 plan will add at least £25 billion per year to the cost of the electricity system. This will cause prices to soar, hitting every household in the UK with a cost-of-living increase of over £900.

UK CARBON BUDGET DOES NOT ADD UP

When reading the article, the term DSR stands for demand side response, in other words getting customers to switch off to balance the grid. This can only be done by paying them, so yet another cost to be added to our bills. If not enough DSR is agreed then it goes without saying that the production side will have to cut some customers off. That is the state we will be in in the near future.

PURSUIT OF NET ZERO 'A RESOUNDING FAILURE'

"Solar and wind power have grown to a mere 3.5% of primary energy production. The levelised cost of renewable energy – which measures the net present value of electricity produced over a plant’s lifetime – has declined sharply over the years. But this has not resulted in lower electricity prices. In fact, as the share of the energy mix provided by renewables has risen, electricity prices have tended to increase. That’s because wind and solar power are intermittent. Since storing energy in batteries is uneconomic, traditional sources of power are still needed as backup, which is expensive".

NEW UK "CARBON BUDGET" RIDICULED

The campaigning organisation says that the spending estimates are unaffordable, and are lowballed, because they are based on figures that bear no resemblance to anything seen in the real world.

The Climate Change Committee, which prepares the budget, says that capital expenditure on Net Zero projects will have to rise from around £18 billion today to over £40 billion by 2029, a level of expenditure that will then have to be sustained for a decade.

BP GET BACK TO FOSSIL FUELS

This is a seismic U-turn, one that should take the oil giant firmly away from its fancy Beyond Petroleum slogans and even more fanciful attempts to become a renewables group.

Five years ago, BP set some of the most absurd targets among its peers to cut production of oil and gas by 40 per cent by 2030, while ramping up investment in renewables. 

Now Auchincloss is doing the reverse: looking to increase investments in fossil fuels by 20 per cent to £8billion by 2027 while cutting spending on renewables to around £1.2billion a year, more than £4billion less than planned.

A QUESTION TO POSE TO A CLIMATE ALARMIST

In his latest short video Paul Burgess suggests posing a simple question to a climate alarmist as in this 2 minute video. He says to point out to them what effect all the measures have had on the level of CO2 emissions world-wide over the past 20 years and showing a graph which indicates no effect at all apart from the major recessions and covid. He makes a very good point, but the alarmist will, of course come back with "but we have got to do far more", and then reel off the extreme weather events which they claim to be linked to climate change. Arguing with a climate alarmist is a bit like arguing with a Jehovah's Witness - it;s very time consuming and you don't get anywhere!

FEWER FOREST FIRES IN N. AMERICA TODAY THAN IN THE PAST

The findings may seem counterintuitive, but frequent low-lying surface fires often maintain balance in forests by reducing fuel sources across large areas, says Phys.org.  They show modern-day fires are much less frequent than they were in past centuries, despite recent record-breaking fire years, such as 2020. The results also reveal that much of the continent is in a substantial “fire deficit,” experiencing about 20% as much fire as in the past. Read more details here:

"EVERYONE IS GIVING UP ON CLIMATE GOALS"

That is the title of this short video by Sabine Hossenfelder, who produces science videos and has a large following. In this video she looks at how the big institutions and companies have backed out of costly pledges. All this was predictable. Fortunately the evidence suggests that the effect of CO2 has been shown to be much less than alarmists were predicting. At the end of the video she mentions a wildlife charity which does good work to try and help to save endangered species. Something that most people would agree is worthwhile. Definitely worth watching, though I find her German accent a bit off-putting.

TODAY'S CLIMATE MODELS OF NO USE - NEW STUDY

Because the current "state-of-the-art" general circulation models (GCMs) cannot simulate the trends and variances in global precipitation over the last 84 years (1940-2023), their usefulness should be reconsidered.

Hydrological processes – ocean circulation, water vapor, clouds – are key components of climate, easily overshadowing the impact of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by a factor of 2,100 (Koutsoyiannis, 2021).

NEW CLIMATE CHANGE PLAY COMING TO SOUTHAMPTON

Will this production calm the fears of vulnerable teenagers who have become totally brainwashed by the constant propaganda? 

Bringing the Outside In | Mayflower   Below is part of the intro:

"Amber is alone. She’s not turned up for the first day of her final year of sixth form. She’s terrified of the climate crisis, and everyone knows it. Enter Yerna – a three thousand year old “giant” she accidentally summons, who turns her stuffy flat into a forest oasis!. 

Of course they don't give away the whole story, but perhaps it might end something like this:

Suddenly Yerna emerges from behind a plant pot along with a whole mass of greenery. "Where has all this come from?" asks Amber. 

Yerna explains, "You see the plants are my friends and they love CO2 and warmth, so your flat was just right for them. The CO2 levels in here are much higher than outside. That is why they pump CO2 into greenhouses".

Amber looked surprised. "But I thought CO2 was bad and that we were all going to die?"

Yerna spoke quietly and calmly, "I am 3000 years old and that is not true. The climate is a bit warmer, about 1.5 degrees C. It was just as warm during the Medieval Warm Period, around 1000 years ago. It was a really good time, just like the Roman Optimum about 2000 years ago. The worst climate was the Little Ice Age which only ended in about 1850. Just think, if we hadn't warmed up by that 1.5 degrees C. we would still be in it today!" 

Amber smiled and gave a sigh of relief.  "I am so glad you came", she said. "Now I know the truth I will go back to college and tell all my friends".

Amber took a load of selfies with Yerma and put them on Facebook with a short video of Yerma explaining things which soon went viral. After that she became a massive celebrity and President Trump invited her to the White House where she explained what had happened to the American public.

HOW TRUMP CAN REMOVE THE CORNERSTONE CLIMATE LAW

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) deals with pollution in the USA and exceeded its powers by claiming that CO2 was a pollutant and was a danger to health. This then allowed it to bring in a whole raft of controls without needing the government to pass any legislation. If Trump is able to overturn this then a huge raft of legislation will fall away. The article below explains how it could be done:

This received a lot of coverage in the online climate science blogs and also the online news outlet, the Daily Sceptic. Clearly this has come to the attention of the Met Office, which has led to an attempt to rebut some of the claims. The unconvincing rebuttal has only led to another long article pointing out the feebleness of the defence put forward, which is about as convincing as a burglar caught leaving the premises with a bag full of loot.

CLIMATE BILL BITES THE DUST

The radical "Climate and Nature" bill has failed to clear its first hurdle in the House of Commons. It is now unlikely to become law. So we can all breathe a sigh of relief that even this government is not mad enough to commit economic suicide at the rate that this bill would have achieved. However the current net zero is just a slower version along similar lines as we will find out in the next few years.  

Climate and Nature Bill falls as MPs vote to end debate - BBC News

It is worth mentioning that, if what is constantly being fed to the public about there being a climate emergency due to man made CO2 is true, then all these privations would be necessary. Luckily the scientific evidence does not support what is being fed to us and I suspect a lot of our leaders know this but dare not admit it as they know it would immediately make them look very foolish. On the other hand if there are some who actually believe it, they know that they dare not implement such a drastic policy as they know it would destroy the economy.

The result is that we carry on with a policy which is still very costly and damaging, while at the same time will not achieve its intended goal. Not only that, but unless all major countries implemented the same stringent policy it could not possibly work. 

When this period of human history is written, future generations will be amazed at the huge fuss that was made of what might be called the "climate issue", just as today we look back at the "witchcraft issue".

This has been admitted by Ed Miliband, the Labour minister in charge of the UK energy system and net zero. I think he should have said "WILL" rather than "may". Despite this, the government are still planning to introduce a scheme which will come into force in April, whereby boiler manufacturers will be fined if they fail to sell enough heat pumps.

Companies in the sector have previously warned it would add £120 to the cost of a new boiler – leading it to be dubbed the 'boiler tax'.
