COP 30 Climate Conference - A Celebration Of The Triumph Of Sactimony Over Sanity

 

 

The annual United Nations climate summit, COP30, got under way this week in Belém, Brazil, deep in the Amazon rainforest. One of the goals of this tears conference is to persuade atttending nations to agree strict limits on deforestation, an activity which is endangering the planet the organisers claim. Ironic that, because in norder to create a purpose built resort near Belem Brazil's Amazon jungle and make it accessible from the nearest civilised area, over 100,000 trees were cut down, a tarmac road and numerous auditorium, conference rooms hotels and brothels were built.

The best hope for some kind of sanity to energe from this year's jamboree of private jet owning types (1500 such aircraft will fly to Brazil, where their occupants will disembark to lecture us about the sacrifices WE THE PEOPLE must make to save the planet,) is that sceptics attending the conference to challenge this globalist agenda can build on the momentum begun by  President Trump’s bold withdrawal from the IPCC and Paris Agreement on climate catastrophe by rallying other nations to follow suit and cease wasting taxpayers money on futile 'Net Zero' fantasies, thud derailing the UN’s expensive, dictatorial climate agenda once and for all.

Throughout the summer of 2025 mainstream media has hyped COP30 as “one of the most consequential climate summits in a decade.” It could prove even more historic.,for the first time since the U.S.A, the worlds largest and most powerful economy by a long way, signed the 1992 Rio Earth Summit treaty, there will be no official U.S. delegation present.

As ever with the annual United Nations climate change conference, hypocrisy is self-evident. COP30’s core themes are ‘preserving forests and biodiversity’ and ‘climate justice’   but to stage the event an eight-mile highway has been cut through the rainforest so that 50,000 true believers can be driven from the airport to the venue. Others such as the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir Starmer will no doubt use helicopters having flown by private jet to Belém airport.

In his 2023 inaugural speech, Brazil’s Marxist President Lula said: ‘Our goal is to achieve zero deforestation in the Amazon,’ and yet this highway was built and the conference centre commissioned by his administration. While Brazil calls it ‘sustainable infrastructure’ with wildlife crossings and solar lighting, environmental scientists call it ‘ecological destruction disguised as conference logistics’.

This highway represents perhaps the most visually striking symbol of climate hypocrisy in modern history: destroying the ‘lungs of the Earth’ to host a conference about saving the planet. Every delegate will drive over cleared Amazon rainforest to attend discussions about preventing deforestation.

The Climate Scam is particularly expert at hypocritical virtue, while leaving out most of the truth. The parts that elevate the virtue are promoted and the parts that would reveal the double standards that are the modus operandi of the globalist elite are simply not spoken about.  Classic examples are the technologies that are supposed to save the world, wind and solar energy. It will never be mentioned and in fact it is actually hidden in official communications and by mainstream media that Lithium mining devastates landscapes and destroys  poor communities. 

 Solar panels are produced in manufacturing situations that violate all of the human rights the UN preach down to us about, primarily that workers are effectively slaves rather than free employess. We never hear of the massive infrastructure the land intensive turbines require, or about their short lifespan and problems with disposal. None of the many failures and shortcomings of Net Zero policies are mentioned by mainstream media. All we hear is the “wind is free and clean”.

A Protective Shield is thrown around Climate Change “Science” and Politics. It wears a cloak of goodness, and anyone daring to say “ayup lads, hold on a minute,” is accused of being a 'far right conspiracy theorist or a 'climate denier.'. 

The reality of intermittent energy production (that backup generators have to be kept running, their output going down to earth, in casse of suddent drops in wind speed or changes in cloud cover,) is ignored and instead we get slogans and press releases, emotional and moral language and certainty where there is NONE. Every failure of their globalist power grab conferences masquerading as climate ones becomes proof that there must be ever more urgency “before it is too late”. 

This is not how science operates, it is how Politics and Narrative Management works.

But eventually all scams face a reckoning. This one however is so entrenched that people no longer ask where it came from. They have become adjusted to living within a “climate crisis” but holes are appearing. Astronomical energy prices, Industries collapsing, food shortages, the industrial rise of China which ignores agreements on emissions, tramples on human rights and laughs at fair trade agreements. But all the time realisation is growing that we have been conned.

Official Advice - Prepare For Blackouts This Winter
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.

Just When We Need It Most, Renewable Energy Disappears

 

Wind turbines on a windless winter day (Picture: il5.picdn.net )

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? They start to waffle about the impending climate catastrophe, the importance of achieving net zero and the urgency of reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions. There has been an  almost universal enthusiasm in business, finance and politics to finance more wind farms. We were told we would get more than half our power from renewables. On a warn,breezy day in high summer when demand is at its lowest this is sort of true. I say sort of because it really depends on how on defines 'renewables'. However on the coldest day of 2022, in mid December only two weeks from the end of the year, a windless day on which in all but a few small areas of Britain the temperature did not rise above freezing point at any time and wind turbines contributed only 3% of our electricity supply.

The electricity companies made up the shortfall by importing enery from France's nuclear power stations and  bringing online coal and gas fired stations, ostensibly shut down in pursuit of impossible 'net zero'  targets, set by one of the recent COP climate conferences when thirty thousand or so delegates from the worlds of politics, business and academia fly, many by private jet, to some exclusive resort and amply supplies with gourmet food, fine wines and high class prostitutes to keep their minds sharp and focused,  decide what sacrifices the rest of us must make in the cause of 'saving the planet.'

The stated capacity of UK wind turbines is over 25 GW, which compares to demand on a cold day of a little over 45 GW. However that 25GW is a notional figure, dependent on ideal wind conditions prevailing over the whole of Britain. In reality all the wind turbines in Britain rarely supply as much as 25% of our electricity and much more often they do not even provide 10%.

This autumn and winter we have lived through periods of little wind, when the wind electricity output can be as low as 1 per cent of our total needs despite having theoretical capacity for many times that. Whenlack of wind coincides with cold, dark evenings and mornings when there is no solar power either, the power companies have to turn up output from gas and our few remaining coal generators which are designated as standby systems because amid all the hype for wind and renewables and the worship of St Greta of Thunberg somebody had the foresight to anticipate such situations.

Ever since 2005 when this blog and its stablemates Boggart Blog and The Daily Stirrer were born I and my colleagues, three old gits who have vast experience in busines, finance and engineering and still have all our marbles (well as many of them as we ever had,) have been warning of the technical and practical shortcomings of 'green energy generation' and anticipating such situations as have been experiences in the past few days. What we did not anticipate was the war in Ukraine and the diastrous sanctions imposed on Russian oil and gas by NATO member states. Unfortunately the response of of Russia this year to the genocide of ethnic Russians in Ukraine by the neo - nazi nutters in Kiev has led to an ban on the gas imports that sustained Germany and Italy, leaving the EU trying to cut energy use to match the shortfall in supply so having shut down our North Sea gas wells and the massive Rough storage facility in pursuit of 'Net Zero' we have nowhere to turn

There have always been problems with adding too much wind power to our system. Much of the wind power is best generated offshore in Scotland where there is availability and on good days  more wind. This needs an enlarged high voltage network to bring it south to where it can be consumed, with losses of up to 30% along the way. Too much intermittent renewable power fed into the system makes the necessary balancing of the grid more difficult, with more need for back up generation that can be available almost instantly if the wind drops. Relying on European imports does not work when the EU is also experiencing a cold period with little wind, especially if enough of the ageing French fleet of nuclear power stations continue to struggle to stay open. 

Import dependence is also bad in other ways. It means exporting well paid jobs. It means paying large taxes on energy away to a foreign treasury instead of keeping them at home to pay some of the NHS bills. It gives the UK less control over energy when there are supply constraints that need managing. 

The first aim of energy policy should be to ensure the security of supply, with the industry and regulators ensuring a useful surplus over normal maximum demand from domestic stations. The second should be to keep electricity and domestic heating fuel affordable for consumers by developing a system which always used the cheapest power available. The distant third was  concern for the environmental because while mathematical models predict doom and gloom (don't they always?,) there is little real world evidence that Carbon Dioxide emissions from human activity have a significant effect on the climate. 

In the first decade after privatisation, a time when I worked as an Information Technology consultant in the industry, the power companies made huge advances, replacing old coal stations where only around a third of the underlying energy emerged as electrical current with clean coal technologies that were more efficient and also removed the really nasty pollutants such as Sulphur Dioxide, and building gas-fuelled combined cycle stations that improved energy efficiency by more than half, allowing cheaper prices and a much cleaner output. There was plenty of margin for cold days when something went wrong with a power station or two. 

The current Government has wisely said it is going to make national security of supply a main aim again but will they stick to this pledge when the ecoloons and baxk to nature brigade start screaming. If they intend to do so it will require plenty of stand-by power for when the wind does not blow and as power stations cannot be started as quickly as a car having wind as a primary source which gas or coal as back up means keeping those fossil fuel stations running with their output going down to earth. This is an absolutely insane business model, the money spent on ensuring the security of our electricity supply would be wasted because the politicians are too vain and the scientists to arrogant and stupid to admit that for the past thirty years they have been wrong.

'Scientists' (always wrong about everything,) tell us that investment in battery storage on a huge scale  will allow us to keep wind turbine electricity from windy days to manage windless ones, however stored power tends to dissipiate quickly, batteries are hideously expensive and lithium (currently the raw material for the most energy efficient batteries,) is highly volatile and tends to spontaneously combust, triggering unquenchable fire that can burn without oxygen and cannot be quenched with water. 

Greta Thunberg can go to hell, gas and oil will still be around when she gets there.

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.
