Globalists Say Climate Change Is A Threat To Democracy But The Real Threat Is Globalism

 by Arthur Foxake, 28 March 2024

While most of the large economies in the European Union are backing off their rash and ill - considered pledges on 'net zero', over in the USA, even as the public reject the scaremongering of climate alarmists and the policies their anti - civilisation ideology has promoted, the increasingly crazy  Biden administration (because the advisers and managers making Dementia Joe's decisions for him are now as crazy as the POTUS himself,) are still trying to push this agenda  de-industrialisation agenda without without any apparent concern for public opinion or for the misery and impoverishment The Childsniffer's regime is inflicting on many Americans. 

The White House seems determined to implement what Eric Heymann, a senior executive at Deutsche Bank, calls “a certain degree of eco-dictatorship” on the USA. This reflects a change in elite opinion towards what two German observers have described as a “political ideology that questions the foundations of pluralism and democracy”, and which instead favours a post-national “politics of identity and minority entitlements” and a global technocratic regime.

Which to those familiar with 20th century political history sounds a lot like Sational Nocialism (or something.)

The problem with Biden's operators bid to get him re-elected by spreading enough climate change alarmism to frighten people into voting for the wilful destruction of the national economy that sustains them is that 'The Science' of man made climate change most certainly is not ‘settled,’ and people who claim it is (including Biden's re-election campaign strategists are just not exposing themselves to the work of highly respected scientists who hold a different point of view. 

Few people deny that the climate is changing, climate has fluctuated constantly over the past millennia. Highest temperatures ‘since records began’ is the mantra we hear constantly rom the alarmist camp but most people don’t realise that the records they’re referring to only began in the late 1800’s and were very sketchy until well after World War One, which hardly a broad enough statistical base on which to base such sweeping assumptions as 'The Science Is Settled'.

Science has nothing to do with consensus. It is based on evidence. Einstein’s last plea was that Science remain an open book and that distinguished critiques and questions be examined on merit and let the evidence prevail. There are no credible voices supporting flat earth theory or creationism as an alternative to evolution. When we look at the broad spectrum of opinions on man made climate change however, the list of scepitics is a very long one  and includes Dr John Clauser 2022 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Richard Lindzen retired Professor of Meteorology at MIT and the late Freman Dyson, esteemed the world over and a contemporary of Oppenheimer. Real Science has always and will always hear such men out. The quasi religious zealots of the Scienceology cult want to silence everyone who questions or challenges their orthodoxy trade in insults not evidence. They have nothing of substance to offer, only the dodgy output from computer based mathematical models programmed by amateurs.

There is a recent example of how little we know about the complexities of climate, and how little control we have over the environment. Early in 2022 Hunga Tong,an underwater volcano erupted in the South Pacific, sending massive amounts of heat trapping water vapour into the atmosphere without any ash, which cools the environment by blocking energy inbound from the sun.


How the Hunga Tonga eruption looked on the ocean surface (Picture: The Guardian)

 

Results from scientific studies of the effects of that eruption have begum to appear and a recurring theme is the high likleyhood that the Hunga Tonga event has played a significant part in the high temperatures recorded around the world over 2023 and 2024. If that is the case northern Europe could be in for some scorching summers for years to come. But are these high temperatures unprecedented as alarmists claim.

We’ve had satellites recording climate data since the 1970s. Accurate themometers have only been around since the 18th century when Fahrenheit invented them. Detailed records maybe 100-150 years and even then many destroyed by World Wars. There are still no organised records for most of Africa and much of Asia and South America. Ocean records which would account for seventy five per cent of the planet's surface, are also patchy and were totally dependant on shipping routes until satellites came along. So for the majority of the planet records have only existed for slightly more than 50 years.

We’re talking numerical temperatures here now (temperature “records” after all) not climate “trends” from ice core sampling etc. 

Modern humans have been here for 200,000 years plus. So a sampling interval (in statisticians terms!) of a tiny sliver of the planet's existence and just 0.08% of human history is what the alarmists are basing their predictions on. And we are expected to accept it is possible to accurately predict the future based on that? It is like saying hey it was really hot for the last minute so it’s going to stay that way, who cares that for the several hours preceding it we don’t know what the temperature was at all !!!.

The world isn’t being weaned off fossil fuel as globalist governments claim. The Western nations hamstringing of their own industrial base and shutting down their own oil and gas production and handing the industry over to China and India and the oil and gas to Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, Nigeria, Venezueala and to Russia of course, is empowering and enabling the very autocrats governments tell us are our enemies and threats to democracy.

 In a way having arguments about this subject is pointless – except that it affects ordinary citizens directly in the pocket. CO2 emissions are rising at an accelerating rate year on year despite the numerous climate conferences and the hysterical “global warming, no climate change, no climate crisis, climate emergency” discourse.

Much of what the West has been doing of course is to simply offshore the CO2 production to other countries..Secondly net zero is simply technically in unfeasible and will remain so for many decades. The sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow therefore you need backup therefore you need two energy production systems, gas being by far the best. Politicians mandating particular technologies has never been the way that energy or any other technical transition has happened in the whole of human history. “Stop burning wood and start burning coal” said Henry the 8th (NOT!). They won’t get it right!.

Electric vehicles, as one example, are worse for the environment on almost any metric than their internal combustion equivalence. They “work” to a fashion now because there’s only a small niche market for them. Just think of the vast areas given to charging stations the enormous queues for them etc. Green activists are dishonest – or perhaps they are mostly just idiots: they will of course oppose the huge increase in mining and industrialisation of the countryside that will be required to quadruple the necessary electrification. But as this mining and refining (an incredibly dirty, highly polluting and energy hungry process,) is taking place in Africa, Russia, South America mainly and battery manufacture (another incredibly dirty, highly polluting and energy hungry process or series of processes,) is centred in China, India, and other places where enforcement of United Nations climate accord pledges is lax to say the least, we cant expect things to change any time soon.

 But none of this  matters to globalist governments like the Biden administration, the Schloz regime in Germany, UK's Conservative-In-Name-Only government and the rest. Politicians are not capable of thinking beyond the next election which is why climate policy is becoming a threat to democracy.

Britain To Harvest Power From Sahara Solar Farms Using 700ft Ship? Another Green Dream
World’s biggest cable-laying vessel will link Moroccan renewables with Devon substationread a headline in a UK mainsteam news website recently. A project to feed power from the Sahara Desert to Britain moved a step closer to fruition as its financial backers prepare to commission the giant cable-laying ship.

Is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Really A Pollutant Or Are The Green Blob Scamming Us all
A new study has been published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation, which claims that a phenomenon known as CO2 fertilization is contributing to increased greening of the globe. The authors of the study, “The global greening continues despite increased drought stress since 2000”, used the measurement of Leaf Area Index (LAI) to shows that more than half of the land area on earth is greening at an accelerated rate since 2000.

Hottest Ever UK January Day - In One Small Village
Today’s high is not due to ‘climate change’ although Warmageddonists and climate alarmists have been quick to claim it is, but is a result of a rare phenomenon known as the Fohn (or Foehn) effect (literally ‘the hairdryer effect’) that sees isolated spots near mountains hit with a narrow blast of hot air.

Net Zero Is Dying Says The Manhattan Contrairian - But Is It Taking Western Civilisation With It?
We Boggart Bloggers have always been sceptical of the Climate Change scam. And as most of our readers will be aware, the scam had to be rebranded as 'Climate Change' because after a brief (and statistically insignificant,) warming trend in the 1980s and 90 the apparent warming stopped until 2016 when there was a brief blip because of an El Nino event on the Pacific region before global mean temperatures started flatlining again ...

The Offshore Wind Fiasco Sets New Records For Government Incompetence
In an article on wind powered generators last week a science & technology writer showed himself in need of remedial education in basic literacy:"Meanwhile, 14GW of installed capacity puts us second in the world behind China," he burbled The problem here is inability to understand the meaning of 'installed capacity.' If it means a capability of generating 14GW of electricity, as it would if we were discussing gas, nuclear or coal that would be lovely ...

Environmentalists Hype The Summer Heat, Ignore The Winter Chill And Call Ity Science
According to Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of the nonprofit climate change scepticism advocacy group Power the Future, who insists that environmental activists are hyping up heat events such as the hot weather parts of the United States and southern Europe seeing right now. While mainstream media reporters are whipping themselves into a frenzy over the summer's heat, the kind of temperatures being recorded should not be causing surprise ...

Scientists says Nuclear Is The Way Forward For Clean Energy - Do Ursidae Defecate In Sylvan Landscapes?
Scientists, politicians and media have been screeching, for the past 30 or so years, about the need to transition away from carbon based fossil fuels, (coal, gas and oil,) as a matter or urgency or risk destroying the life supporting ecology of our planet by overloading the system with Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted from human activity. Next they'll be informing us, in their lofty and condescending way that yes, bears do actually shit in the woods.

Out Of Touch Elites Are Destroying Civilised Society Society With Net Zero Obsession And No Plan B
How good it must have felt for politicians to set those lofty goals, knowing that someone else must deal with the cost and the implementation? But now the bills are now arriving, and they’re bringing a world of hurt. To sum up: Western policy elites have embarked on the electrification of society, replacing hydrocarbons in housing and transport, but without the technology to replace it well.

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.

New UN Report on Climate Change – Nothing New, Nothing True
The latest United Nations (“UN”) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) report, published this week, once again, in scaremongering tone and the language of the panic stricken, claims that the planet is in peril (we are facing climate disaster, the clock is at one minute to midnight, we must take urgent action to destroy civilisation if we are to save the planet, the usual over - dramatised guff designed to spread fear and panic,) basically the same claim as they have been making at least twice a month for the past 20 years.

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.

How Germany's open door to migrants and mad dash to Net Zero Brought Down The Establishment
Friedrichstrasse in Berlin is one of Europe's most renowned shopping streets. Lined with glitzy stores, from Galeries Lafayette to Karl Lagerfeld it is on a par with Avenue des Champs-Élysées, London's Regent Street or Via Montenapoleone in Milan, teeming with shoppers eager to spend their hard earned or ill - gotten cash and flowing with cars, buses and taxis.

Implosion of Germany's Green Party Threatens To Destabilse EU
With the defeat of Donald Trump in the 2020 US election, the far left parties in Liberal Democracies celebrated the defeat of the far right. At around the same time it appeared that Germany's AfD party, Italy's Lega and and the Sweden Democrats had been discredited and surges in their popularity had been halted by negative propaganda campaigns while Germany's Green Party were at the height of their popularity and were hailed as Europe's great hope for a clean, net zero, woke, gay and trans friendly future.

Europes Tractor Protests Spread To Germany And Now Include Fishing Trawlers
Hundreds of farmers have descended in their tractors on a small German coastal town to protest measures imposed by the European Union as part of the bid to 'save the planet' by reducing CO2 emissions from cow farts. 400 tractors reportedly gathered in Büsum on Wednesday to protest what is probably the most insane environmentalist policy dreamed up by the EU idealogues to date ...

Thousands of Dutch farms will be forced out of business to meet new EU 'Nitrogen pollution targets
he globalist technocrats who control The European Union (EU) have enacted new environmental protection laws which will force member states, including The Netherlands, to meet the new targets for reducing emissions, which address nitrogen emissions from human activity rather than Carbon Dioxide, the Netherlands government proposes to shut down a large portion of its farming industry in order to comply with emissions targets ...

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.

The True Cost Of The Green Energy Boom Is Now Being Realized
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. ...

Debunked: The Great Renewable Green Delusion
The war in Ukraine has not caused the global energy crisis of early 2022 byt merely exacerbated it. Currently the nations currently in conflict with Russia over its incursion into Ukraine are those which are most dependent for their energy needs on Russian oil and gas. And now their loonytoons 'net zero' green energy policies have failed they are biting the hand that feeds them.

Even If The War In Ukraine Ends, Sanctions Will Stay - So How Bad Will The Food Crisis Get?
Western leaders, desperate to show their own countries they were taking a firm stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, were quick to impose economic sanctions ... so quick in fact that they acted before they had though things through. While freezing Russia out of the global finance system they have exacerbated the wests energy crisis, while Russia's retaliatory ban on raw materials (fertiliser) exports will create extra problems on top of those we already had ...

Green dreams of Heat Pumps Continue reading >>>
When Boris Johnson revealed the UK Government plans for achieving 'net zero' carbon emissions by 2050 it emerged the much teased clean, green replacement for gas boilers as our main source of domestic heating is to be heat pumps. The Daily Stirrer counters the pseudo-scientific bollocks and reveals this 'new technology has been around for a hundred years.

Extinction Rebellion Wants To Destroy Civilization, Not Just Fossil Fuels
Readers may find it hard to believe but while our attention has been focused on the coronavirus pandemic, other things have been happening. Recently the eco - crusties of EkSTIMKtion Rebellion have elbowed their way back into out consciousness and now, with Antifa and Black Lives Matter, form an unholy trinity of Marxist seditionist groups intent not only on destroying capitalism but destroying civilisation ...
