Downing Street confirmed on Monday that Sir Keir would attend the summit in Belem, near the mouth of the Amazon river. "We're
restoring the UK as a global leader on climate action and green growth,
and you can expect to see the PM driving forward that agenda at the
COP30 summit," the Downing Street press release gushed.
We Boggart Bloggers are of the opinion that Slimer's change of mind is really because with a triple Tsunami of brown smelly stuff about to hit Britain's biggest array of wind turbines from three different directions; stalling the grooming gangs inquiry, the failure of the government's flagship Net Zero policies, and pulling the plug on a court case that woud expose China's malign influence in matters of national scurity, our snivelling wimp of a leader would rather be 9000 miles away.
Or perhaps Starmer, ever the opportunist who misses the opportunity has been swayed by hysterical claims from the climate catastrophe lobby citing new research which shows a vast increase in the number of wildfires around the world and feels this is a crisis he understands and in which he can play the role of world statesman.
Unfortunately the wildfire hysteria was wrong, just the usual scaremongering based on mathematical models rather than reality and probably inspired by the failure of Net Zero policies. In genuine research data set after data set shows that the world burns ever less in terms of burned area. Disrupting this unhelpful reality, a splashy paper in Nature last year finally found a worrying narrative: “extreme wildfire events” had more than doubled globally over the past two decades. Using satellite data from 2003 to 2023, the authors clustered fire hotspots and tallied their “fire radiative power” – a proxy for intensity. Predictably, this ignited a bonfire of the vanities for politicians and the media. From The New York Times to CBS News the headlines blared warnings of a planet ablaze, seeing fiercer fires as proof that we are hurtling toward a global inferno.
Analysis shows that extreme fire is down by 35 per cent over the same period. The fires are burning less intensely, and we already knew that less area is getting burned as time goes by – but this contradicts the extreme climate script, so as with the redent delaration by 1900 scientists that there is no climate crisis, we heard crickets from major media outlets.
Perhaps Starmer sees hilself as the charismatic lesder who, by deploying his lawyerly skill of changing the truth by twisting the meaning of words, can save the planet from a greener and more prosperous futire thanks to a modest increase in atmospheric Carbon Dioxide.
But while the Prime Minister is clocking up more air miles and dodging the flak for his governments abject failure there is an destructive apocalypse happening every single day somewhere in the British countryside as Mad Ed Miliband , the minister for Nut Zero destroys our economy, living standards, food producing land and historic landscapes by covering over thousands of acres with millions of poisonous solar panels bearing long term heavy metal components and to build solar energy plants that produce very little power (and none at all during the hours of darkness when we still need electricity,) and has driven our energy bills to the highest in the world.
Please, please write to you MP and your Local Council, to resist by all means 'pressures' from central Labour government, block roads, dump dung on the Town Hall steps,lie down in front of the bulldozers, do anything you can to stop approvals of all renewable energy plants beginning tomorrow until the promises of abundant cheap energy are fulfilled or more likely proved false, and their long term harm to the environment is revealed.
And furthermore we must keep Starmer away from all international summits of world leaders because the man is so pathetically desperate for approval from powerful tyrants like China's Chairman Xi he's likely to return and announce that he has sold the nation to China and in future we will rent it back from them for a sum set at 105% of GDP annually.
