Two tier free gear Kweir Smarmer is attending the COP29 conference on the climate change crisis this week and mainstream media are trumpeting the claim that he is the only world leader among the 66,000 grifters flown on private jets to Azerbaijan (wherever the fuck that is,) to attend this taxpayer funded elitist jolly. What makes those bozos who call themselves journalists think Smarmer is a world leader?
Addressing the conference, the British National Socialist Workers' Party Prime Minister told a 75% empty auditorium, "we will win the Net Zero."
He's right about that, there's nobody else left in it. But what does our virtue signalling ambition to be the first developed nation to totally destroy our economy mean in real terms?
Smarmer was referring to his government's ambition to decarbonse the electricity system by 2030 .
Even if the government could rewrite the laws of physics and reach its target to decarbonise electricity production entirely by 2030 it still wouldn’t get it close to the new target of cutting overall emissions by a further two thirds by 2035, because electricity generation only currently accounts for 11 per cent of UK territorial emissions.
Just had my calculator out and found that China and India combined emit exactly 52 times as much CO2 as UK (nice coincidence that,) which means we produce as much in a year as they produce in a week. And their output is accelerating a lot faster than ours is being reduced.
In 2023 The UK was responsible for 0.8% of global CO2 emissions from human activity.
We have gained no discernable benefit from this at the cost of destroying our industrial base and sacrificing a significant chunk of our agriculture, as well as exporting millions of well paid jobs to those nations that do not give a tupenny fart about net zero.
My understanding of the plan to shut down all gas fired power stations by 2030 is to have a potential 90GW of wind in total, plus 40GW of solar for 130GW total. But the problem remains that those potential output levels can only be achieved in optimal weather conditions. During weeks like the two immediately prior to the current one (10 to 16 October 2024,) when there have been day long periods when the total installed generation capacity for wind produces an average of 5GW or less, we have a problem. Between 4pm and 8am there will be no solar at all, and minimal amounts even during the day so what will keep the lights on?
Currently we are in the situation of favouring wind power to the extent that media never mention the fact that gas fired power stations have to be kept running, sending their output down to earth, in case of sudden changes in wind speed because distribution grids cannot handle fluctuations in supply. Thus there must be some steady and reliable supply available to kick in should the wind drop sudenly or the sun disappear behind a bank of heavy cloud.
By November 2030, when the net zero zealots have closed all the cas fire power stations, peak demand (4pm or so?) will be well above 50GW, due to the move to heat pumps and EVs, and it will keep on rising.
This cannot work. Its a recipe for nationwide blackouts with no spinning reserve to restart. Smarmer and his hapless, bacon sandwich regurgitating Energy Secretary, Ed Minibrained can make all the pledges they wish at COP29, but sooner or later reality is going to bite them on the arse as it has the leaders of China, India, USA, France,Germany, Australia, Japan and the rest of the world's major economies.

Climate Scaremongers Have Taken Over Where COVID Scaremongers Left Off
Boggart Blog can announce that the winners of our coveted Scaremongering Bollocks of The Month award goes this month to BBC News. Not only did the BBC report in one of their regular climate catastrophe scare stories that river levels across the UK have been at record lows, they broadcast that news story on the same day as The London Weather Centre announced that March 2023 was set to be the wettest March since records began.
Green Energy & Net Zero: A Herd Of Elephants In The Room

Net Zero Will Lead To The End Of Modern Civilisation, Says Top Scientist
In a recently published science paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer said Net Zero would be the end of modern civilisation. Writing about wind and solar power he argued it would be especially tragic “when not only will this new infrastructure fail, but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary”.
Germany haemorrhaging cash to keep country running on as ‘net zero’ becomes zeroeconomic activity
Germany was so desperate to achieve 'net zero' CO2 emissions that for years the country's government closed its fossil fuel-fired and nuclear power plants,replacing those plants with wind and solar power — as well as impoorting huge volumes of natural gas and oil from Russia.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, when NATO (aka the U.S.A.) mandated that the West impose retaliatory sanctions on Russia, including a ban on importation of Russian gas and oil, Germany found itself in a hole:
Just When We Need It Most, Renewable Energy Disappears
In an encouraging sign of a great awakening, million of people in the UK are now, after a week of brutally cold, absolutely windless weather asking "Why have we wasted so much money on wind turbines and harvesting solar energy."
Yet when politicians are asked directly: "How do we keep the lights on and our homes warm when the wind does not blow and the sun is too low in the sky to make much impression on photovoltaic cells that do the business in solar panels?
Europe's Cold Spell Exposes Green Energy Policy Failure
So far the autumn of 2022 has been unusually mild which has had eco-warriors getting worked up and gluing their arses to motorways and airport runways to demand that we stop using oil. However winter temperatures across Europe predictably dropped sharply in late November and through most of December to date have been positively arctic. Scientists have offered the opinion that the cold weather spell the ongoing European gas crisis is now “likely” to worsen significantly as usual seasonal weather spreads across the northern half of the continent, bringing with it an increased need for domestic heating.
Minister's Claim That 40% UK Energy Comes From Renewables Is Technically Illiterate
Britain's newly installed Secretary of State for Energy, Grant Shapps, is still learning the job so perhaps we should cut him some slack, but even so a statement he made on our energy supply today shows astounding ignorance of technical details relating to his portfolio.
Answering a question in Parliament this morning about Britain's ability to reach its target of getting 40% of our energy needs from sustainable sources, Shapps sneered that it was not possible for us to reach 40% now as we already get 43% from wind. Unfortunately the sneering sarcasm was misplaced but served to reveal the man in charge of energy policy does not know the difference between energy and electricity.
"Our Country Is Facing The Biggest Crisis The Crisis We Ever Had": German Employers' Association Warns Over Russian Gas Cut
With the Nord Stream 1 pipeline closed for maintenance, with the possibility that President Putin will not allow it to reopen at the end of the scheduled 10 days downtime in retaliation for the EU's continued support or Ukraine in their conflict with Russia, Germany is facing an unprecedented crisis that could erase the prosperity Germans have grown accustomed to, warned Rainer Dulger, head of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations.
Net Zero Is A Dangerous Fantasy, But Scientists Believe In Fairies It Seems
With oil and gas prices rocketing and the highly propted sustainable energy sources performing way befow expectations the energy crisis currently gripping Europe (with worse to come as food shortages start to bite, polticians still seem more intent on pandering to the green lobby and chasing the dream of a fossil fuel free world rather securing the energy and food supplies needed by the people they serve.
A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy
When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.
We need energy security – not Net Zero
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a major rethink in the West. We have suddenly found ourselves vulnerable not just to rising prices in oil and gas, but also to inflation in other commodities – such as food and fertiliser. Of all these problems, the security of our energy supply has most exercised minds.
For four decades we have been fed a constant stream of propaganda assuring us that green energy was the only way forward if we wanted to secure supplies of the energy essential to a modern society while preventing the environmental catastrophes that would be the inevitable consequence of climate change caused by the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted by human industrial, commercial and social activity. ...
