Although it was not yet enshrined in law, this agreement opened the way for Theresa May to set the Net Zero target in 2019. We were quickly followed down the road to economic disaster by the EU which implemented restrictive laws on climate, energy security and farming. By 2021, our envoy to COP26, Alok Sharma was gleefully blowing up coal-fired power stations and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was boasting of aligning £130 trillion of the world’s financial assets with the Paris Agreement climate goals, or what we might now see as western economic suicide. Worse, people well qualified to criticise the crap science behind net zero were cancellled, hounded out of their jobs abd profesions and destroyed if the deviated from the official line on net zero. Fast forward to 2024 and Reform based their General Election campaign on a platform of ditching Net Stupid Zero. The pushback towards common sense did not stop there, earlier this year the current Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, signalled that the Tories no longer believed Net Zero was achievable by 2050. The number of journalists writing about the follies of Net Zero and UK energy policy grown (from almost net xero,) nd scientists were no longer being cancelled for expressing scepticism about the reliability of mathematical models on which the whole climate change case is built. The Net Zero juggernaut no longer looked impregnable, cracks were beginning to appear but progress was slow. Towards the end of 2025 however, Ms Badenoch announced that the Conservative Party plans to repeal the Climate Change Act, which underpins all the Net Zero nonsense. They have also committed to abolish the Climate Change Committee. And now Mad Ed Milliband, the swivel eyed fanatic who had emerged as leader of the Net Zero cult after being deposed as Labour leader, and in 2024 had become Secretary for Energy and Net Zero in a newly elected Labour government under the hapless Keir Starmer, has been moved to another department in government and the Labour government under a new leader (andy Burnham,) and with a new, more sane Energy Secretary seem to be embracing the Drill Baby Drill approach to energy secuity. In the USA Donald Trump, elected for a second term much to the disgust of lefties and progressives, revered many of the net zero policied of the previous deomcrat aministration and EU member states becant to rebel over draconian measures to force adoption of net zero policies as the disintegration of the climate catastrophe hoax gained momentum.
It is interesting that this change of heart has come from people who have largely never had to wonder about the engineering marvels that had tooccur behind the scenes to ensure the lights stayed on when they turned on their cookers. Perhaps the blackout in Spain and Portugal earlier this year has focused minds on the dangers of too many intermittent renewables on the grid.
We can now, with our national grid under extreme stress on low wind days and imports of electricity vial undersea cables from France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway regularly running at between 20%vand 30% of total UK demans, see that the empty rhetoric of the “Saudi Arabia of Wind” and “Green Energy Superpower” was the triumph of narrative over numbers and optics over substance. These people in wonk-land never had to worry about choosing between heating or eating; were not concerned about increasing energy debt and were totally at ease as heavy industry collapsed. They are ignorant of maths; the closest they have ever come to imaginary numbers is the increasingly implausible cost estimates from the CCC. They are also ignorant of economics as they clapped like seals at the “nine times cheaper than gas” mantra. We should welcome their Damascene conversion but be cautious that their new message might be just as fickle as the old.
As the case for Net Zero crumbles more with every missile fired across the Strait of Hormuz and Kemi’s Conservatives become more scetical of climare science every day Ed Miliband’s claim that Nigel Farage and Reform are “investment crushing, job destroying, bill raising, poverty driving, science denying, Putin appeasing, young people betraying bunch of ideological extremists”. Ironically this description is a far better fit on Ed's fanatical Climate Catastrophe cultists.
I think this is what psychologists call projection. Miliband is accusing his opponents of wanting to do the very same things he is already doing himself. Jim Ratcliff’s INEOS has ended all UK investment because of Net Zero policies pushing up taxes onNorth Sea oil and gas and expensive energy prices. This, of course, destroys jobs too. Miliband is pushing up bills by pressing ahead with Allocation Round 7, extending contracts to 20 years and offering prices that are much more expensive than gas-fired generation, and of course high bills drive poverty. Miliband denies the physics of intermittent renewables and seems totally unaware of the laws of thermodynamics.
Net Zero is not achievable without the huge amounts of copper needed for the cabling, grid equipment, motors, machines, appliances, etc for an all-electric economy/society Worldwide.
Copper needs copper ore and it is estimated that near 700 million tons of ore would be required over the next twenty years – about the same amount mined to date since copper was first invented as a resource by Man.
The biggest indicator in the market place is price – it tells among other things the relationship between supply and demand.
Were Net Zero achievable and on-course, the demand for things made with copper, thus copper, thus copper ore would be huge, and prices of ore would be climbing exponentially.
But that is not the case. In fact ore prices have been easing, showing that supply and demand are about balanced.
Price says, no Net Zero.
This was completely foreseeable. The only way to achieve anything close to “net zero” is to impoverish the British people. The only way people will accept being impoverished is if the government becomes tyrannical.We are talking about real impoverishment here, not just one fewer holiday per year and a smaller car. New Zero would rationing and surveillance at levels worse than those during the Second World War.
All of this should have been foreseen by our political leaders, scientists and opinion shapers and by by anyone with an IQ higher than the average brigk.
Since the people who lead us, the scientists who advise them and the propagandists who shape opinion have IQ's far higher than the average individual (allegedly,) we can only assume that they put personal and class interests ahead of the interests of the British people.The UK establishment cares about its own power and influence, not just in Britain but around the world. It will sacrifice whoever it needs to sacrifice in order to maintain that power and influence, as it has always done.
Climate change policy has been led by the UK in alliance with the part of the US establishment that it has historically had influence over.
It’s a con job the sole purpose of which has been to try to neutralise the power and influence that oil and gas confers to the nations that have it. Our establishment used to control the oil and gas in the world and have fought hard over the decades to maintain that control. When it was no longer possible, they came up with climate change.
They literally couldn’t care less who they impoverished in the process. UK establishment figures think that those in the population that don’tagree with their ideas – NetZero, mass immigration.- are ignorant scum. They pretty much say it openly when the've had a few beers or done a line or two.

Shock for The Green Blob - Rewilding is to blame for Mediterranean forest fires
Or at least, to be acccurate, rewilding is partially to blame for Mediterranean forest fires. Which is darkly amusing as that man most insistent upon rewilding, George Monbiot, is trying to tell us that it’s all about climate change.
The UK government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia. The real reason politicians and energy company CEOs are panicking is entirely due to their obession with obtaining all our energy from intermittent sources like wind and sunshine ...

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.
Net Zero Gone With The Wind - Boris Johnson Plans Seven New Nuclear Plants And Shelves Wind Expansion
Reports in mainstream media suggest Boris Johnson has done a U turn on his recently announced massive expansion of wind powered generating capacity. Sources in Westminster claim Boris has shelved his masterplan for a giant, floating wind farm in The North Sea and the government will reconsider plans to double or even treble the number of wind turbines in the countryside and approve plans for up to seven new nuclear reactors instead.

Freak Weather Around The World Begs Questions
With Britain and other parts of northern Europe basking in unseasonably warm temperatures which are forecast to last for a few days, while parts of the USA gring to a halt under a blanket of snow dumped by freak storms are, accoring to climate scarmongers, a signal that irreversible warming had arrived, it is perhaps timely for a hot topic from ten years ago, geoengineering came under the microscope again. This report from Global Intel Hub seems a good way to kick off the debate. ... Continue reading >>>

Now Even ‘Hockey Stick’ Mann Admits The ‘Pause’ In Global Warming Is Real
“It has been claimed that the early-2000s global warming slowdown or hiatus, characterized by a reduced rate of global surface warming, has been overstated, lacks sound scientific basis, or is unsupported by observations. The evidence presented here contradicts these claims,” the paper in Nature Climate Change says.
