Climate Change Scare Alert: Heat-related Deaths In Europe Rise by 30pc, Says The Lancet

According to an article in the once respected medical journal The Lancet, which has now become simply another propaganda vehicle for globalist narratives, new diseases are spreading, the hayfever season is starting earlier and even the hours in which it is possible to practise sports are changing.

The driving force behind all these and other changes to human health is climate change.

A report in the Lancet, the 2024 Lancet Europe Report On Health And Climate Change warned that rising temperatures in Europe may have far reaching impacts on general health of the population. The report traces links between climate change and health across the continent, exploring 42 indicators.

As scorching summers are expected to hit the continent with increasing regularity, heat-related deaths per 100,000 people have increased by 30.8 per cent from the period 2003-12 and 2013-22, according to the report.

Now 68 people per 100,000 are estimated to die of heat related issues, up from 50.8. 

“Climate change is here, in Europe, and it kills,” the 2024 Europe Report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change said.  We beg to differ.

We can only wonder are these 'heat related deaths' similar in any way to Covid-19 related deaths. i.e. man falls off long ladder and breaks neck: cause of death Covid-19 becomes 99 year old person with heart failure, diabetes and shingles dies on a hot day, cause of death: climate change.  

To put this report in perspective, we are being asked to accept the whole scaremongering of "heat - related deaths" narrative  on a 0.02% increase. Basically, so tiny as to be statistically insignificant and subject to massive variance.

Anyone reading the report or extracts from it reproduced in mainstream media should bear in mind the figures are reported per 100,000. This is a way of reporting intended ti be confusing and lead the readers who does not have an educational qualification in statistics to draw the wrong conclusion. The total number of all cause deaths per 100,000 is remarkably consistent across the whole of Europe at around 1500 plus or minus 0.5%. That said, 68 heat related deaths per 100,000 is more than expected. However, it is likely that heat was only a contributing factor in many of those deaths. We might reasonably suspect many of the victims heat - related morbidity were elderly and not in the best of health and the heatwave tipped them over the edge. The question of how many quality adjusted life years were lost is apparently not being asked?

What we can infer from figures available in the public domain is for every death linked to heat, nine are connected to cold. Excessive cold can exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.The remedy is simple of course, turn up the heating in your home. But to heat people's homes needs energy - cheap energy, and the availability of cheap energy for home heating has been all but killed of by 'net zero' policies. 

Wait until the next hard winter when the wind does not blow for two weeks and a weak, watery sun is too low in the sky to cast down much energy on solar panels. We can expect thousands die of the cold because they can't afford heating. 80% of UK use gas for heating; so why does the government want to move green taxes from electricity to gas.

The answer to heat related deaths is simple. Arabs don't die of heat. They live in areas where the temperature regularly reaches 45°, dress accordingly and stay indoors with air conditioning (if they have it,) turned on. 

Heat related deaths is just the latest attempt to spread fear and panic in order that people when further attacks on our rights, freedoms, prosperity and personal sovereignty are perpetrated by globalist power seekers who justify their undemocratic activity with bogus narratives about saving the planet. Question everything. Do not comply.

Hottest Ever UK January Day – In One Small Village

 

Sunday 28 January 2024

Today has been the hottest January day ever recorded in the UK, according to Met Office data and reported throughout mainstream media. The village of Kinlochewe, in northern Scotland, which is home to fewer than 100 people, recorded a high of 19.6C on January 28, with nearby villages in the northernmost regions of the Highlands also in excess of 18C. The previous record for a January day was 18.3C, which had occurred four times, most recently on January 16, 2003 so given that accurate records for this part of the world do not go back very far there is really nothing unique about this event.

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.

Picture credit: tameteo.com

Britain is currently experiencing a southerly wind, bringing warm air up to the British Isles from the Azores. Most of the country experienced an unusually (but not remarkably) warm winter’s day, but in the more mountainous regions in the north, a Foehn Effect amplified the mild weather even further.

With this warmer weather coming on the back of a spell of dire weather across the country, including in Scotland, as storms Henk, Isha and Jocelyn battered the UK this month the Warmageddonist lobby have been triggered to ramp up their predictions of imminent disaster if we do not shut down civilised communities immediately and return to a medieval lifestyle.

It is notable that phrases like “On record” and “Since records began” occur in mainstream media reports of this event, as they do in all sensationalist reporting of unusual weather. As Met Office records only go back to 1860, less than 200 years, they’re fairly meaningless phrases but scare gullible and compliant people half to death. What was the temperature when the Romans ruled Britain and grew grapes to produce their beloved wine locally?

What temperatures were experienced during the Medieval Warm Period which fake Nobel Prizewinning climate fraudster Michael Mann judiciously excluded from his calculations when creating the now infamous ‘Hockey Stick graph,?’ What was the temperature when dinosaurs roamed in Britain? Attention grabbing headline phrases like ‘Highest ever temperature’ and ‘hottest on record’ are designed to keep the climate change scam at the top of the agenda.

The previous record for a January day was 18.3C, which had occurred four times, most recently on January 16, 2003, so nothing noteworthy at all, except for the gullible.

Also the statement widely reported in fervid articles and broadcast news segments claimed that last year is set to be the second warmest ever in the UK seems remarkably similar to the kind of statement I have heard every year for around 20 years now. But that kind of consistency is easy to achieve when evidence is collected only from mathematical models programmed by computing amateurs, empirical evidence tells a different story but one that the ruling elites do not wish to encourage discussion of.

We should always be wary of any statements from any western public bodies, whose political leaders are in thrall to the failed theory of dangerous man-made global warming and wannabe global government organisations like the WEF and United Nations. Apart from the endless exaggeration and propaganda from these organisations, QUANGOs and government agencies there is a track record of manipulation, falsifying of past and present data sets to make the past appear to be colder than it was. Another statistical ‘device’, is to carefully select time periods when some, largely insignificant, warming occurred, all whilst ignoring the previous periods of much warmer conditions. The 1920s and ’30s were, in reality, far warmer than subsequent decades and our present temperatures.

Viewed against the time scales of earlier geological periods, all these slight perturbations are totally insignificant, as the earth has experienced far colder and far warmer time periods.

CLIMATE ALARMISM LIBRARY

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.

The Penguins Were Not Killed By Climate Change, They Took A First Step On The Road To Evolution

It was a story to melt the hardest heart, a tale of global warming catastrophe so tragic even the most stubborn 'denier' would have to accept 'the science is settled' and start campaigning for a one million per cent tax on every gram of fossil fuel burned because the victims were not working class people, but the most irresistibly cute creatures on the planet ...

Climate Change and Leftist Psycological Malware.
It may seem far fetched but it is possible to link the techniques of the climate change / anti capitalist lobby to the brainwashing prorammes used by the Nazis in Germany, Stalin's Soviet regime in Russia and Chaitrman Mao's brutal government in Communist China. Thus it becomes quite similar to malware that infects computer systems. The left do not care about saving the planet, all they are interested in is advancing their totalitarian, globalist agenda.

Fellow Slams The Royal Society as Nothing But a Lobby Group for Climate Change.
Another respected scientist comes out and denounces the science behind the climate change scare as a fraud. The whole thing has been a scam to justify punitive taxes on fuel and enable the rich to make fortunes trading carbon credits. Again it shows what a sack of rogues the climate science community really are.

Temperature Was Not Rising But Climate Chief's Cock Was
RAJENDRA Pachauri, until this week one of the world’s most influ­ential climate politicians, has been grounded in India and barred from the Delhi institute which provided the springboard for his chairmanship of the International Panel on Climate Change, as a third woman came forward alleging sexual harassment.

We said 2014 was the warmest year on record… but we’re only 38% sure we were right - NASA
Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all. Does that mean 97% of climate experts are 62% sure they are wrong? The thing with half-truths is that they generate a glorious fog, but it has no substance. Ask of the spin-cloud a couple of sensible questions and the narrative collapses.

Arrogance, Intolerance, Snobbishness and Corrupt, Self Interested Practices. It's modern science. The world sems to be waking up the the fact that while in the past scientists tended to be rather detached, slightly obsessive people not driven by material goals, the modern science academy has been very largely corrupted by political patronage and corporate money. The academic field of climate science it especially notable for this.

Unfortunately the cat is out of the bag and nobody trusts the buggers any more.

British Coal Fired Power Station Brought Online As Solar Panels Fail In Hot, Sunny Weather

 When you see headlines like the one above (which is not a joke BTW,) you'll understand why Boggart Bloggers abandoned satire. It's simply impossible to satirise a clown show.

Ratcliffe-on-Soar
Uniper’s Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal power plant in Nottinghamshire started producing electricity for the first time in weeks on Monday morning Credit: David Davies/PA

Most comical news of the day today is that on a sunny day with a breeze blowing, Britain's National Grid has brought online a power station which relies on burning coal to generate electricity for the first time in a month and a half. This, we're told has happened because the fairly modest heatwave've had this month, during which temperatures reached 30 degrees C and  made solar panels too hot to work efficiently.

One coal fired unit at Uniper’s Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal power plant in Nottinghamshire started feeding electricity into the grid for the first time in weeks on Monday morning, while another coal-powered plant was warmed up in case it was needed by the early afternoon.

The National Grid was forced to turn to coal for generating electricity as a rush to turn on air conditioning and fans across the country during the heatwave led to a spike in demand.

High temperatures over the weekend also reduced the amount of energy generated by solar panels. Output on Sunday was almost a third lower than a week earlier, despite temperatures climbing above 30 degrees celsius across large parts of the country.

If the ‘heatwave’ makes our solar panels too hot to work properly, how do actual warm regions like Australia, California, Spain etc etc that have lots of solar arrays cope – why would ours be different? Smells like bollocks to us Boggart Bloggers and certainly exposes the folly of crackpot schemes to carpet large parts of the Sahara desert with solar panels and pipe the electricity to northern Europe.

A few minutes research on solar panels proves can get to o hot to work efficiently and that’s from themanufacturers website (but its fairly common knowledge among the engineering community.
Anywhere over 35° C and they can lose 25% or more efficiency according to the makers but tests show they can regularly reach 65° C in heatwaves because of their very construction, glass! Stand in a green house and you’ll get the idea!

So with solar panels overheating when the weather gets warmish by British standards, and the failings of wind becoming more obvious every time we have a windless day, everything looking wonderful for electricity generation in a 'Net Zero' world.


 

 

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.

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.

Amazing Increase in Global Sea Ice Confounds the Net Zero Warmageddonists
According to a new study based on satellite data, in 2022 there is more Artic sea ice that at any time in the past 30 years. So why after all those dire predictions of doom and devastation has Arctic sea ice cover come roaring back so quickly over the last few years? Nobody knows – apparently not one scientist on the planet can tell you, writes Willis Eschenbach in a short essay for the climate alarmism watchdog site Watts Up With That?

Net Zero Ed - The Most Significant British Politician Of The Century?
Have MPs got smaller or has Ed Miliband got bigger? Has he grown into his boots? Has he outgrown them? It’s easy to forget he has had more affect than any Labour politician in living memory. And not just because of his £2 membership drive that put the Labour party into special measures for five years. What other contenders are there? It’s true that Tony Blair’s war in Iraq had a widespread effect on the prospects of hundreds of thousands in the Middle East – but that will be insignificant against the leadership Ed displayed with his Climate Change Act.

Common Sense Prevails: Germany Is Dismantling Wind Turbines To Make Room For Coal Mining
We have learned vial a piece in OilPrice.com that turbines at a wind farm in western Germany are being dismantled to allow for the expansion of open cast coal mining operations at an adjacent site. The propsal to increase output at the Garzweiler open-pit lignite coal mine has been described as a “paradoxical” situation given that in recent years the German government has been pushing ahead with the closure of coal and nuclear generating plant to appease its nutty but powerful Green party ...

EU Vows To Retaliate if Nord Stream Gas Pipeline Blasts Were Sabotage - But against whom, the USA?
Yesterday's shocking news that the Nord Stream 1 & 2 gas poipelines between Russia and Germany immediately triggered speculation about who is responsible, but as the facts emerge the knee jerk blaming of Russia has failed to convince because the attack bears all the halllmarks of a false flag event engineered by the usual suspects ...

Who Blew Up The Nordstream Pipeline
So whodunnit? Sabotage of undersea gas pipe will escalate tension and move the world closer to nuclear war, but who is behind it, Russia in a bid to put more presure on Europe, Ukraine in an attempt to drag NATO into direct action, or the USA using a CIA false flag event to advance its own agenda.

UK Government Belatedly Discovers The Uselessness Of Sustainables In Relation To Energy Security
The policy that Boris Johnson's Premiership will be remembered for is nor 'getting Brexit done,' but the government's disastrous pledge to make Great Britain the first developed nation to achieve a 'net zero' national energy system. The neglect and running down of traditional energy systems (coal, gas, nuclear,) along with flushing money down the toilet by investing in intermitternt power sources (wind, solar,) rather than Putin's war in Ukraine is responsible for the current crisis.

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 Forcing Farmers To Use LESS Fertilizer To Satisfy EU’s Green Agenda
The German government, already reeling from the public backlash against rising fuel prices, the shortage of gas since supplies from Russia were cut off, and the biggest economic crisis in the EU, has now jumped on another 'woke' bandwagon.

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:

Climate Scaremongers Have Taken Over Where COVID Scaremongers Left Off

 

As we enter the final few hours of March 2023, your Boggart Bloggers can announce that the winners of our coveted Scaremongering Bolocks of The Month award goes this month to BBC News. Not only did the BBC report in one of their regular climate catastrphe scare stories that river levels across the UK have been at record lows and are likely to be “devastated”, as new data forecasts broadly dry weather until at least May, the 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.

Truth (lack of it,) has never been an obstacle to the project fear antics of climate activists. Using a picture of one river's tidal estuary, taken at low tide, as evidence, campaigners have accused the government and water companies of not doing enough to conserve water supplies by building reservoirs and fixing leaks, as months of low rainfall could cause some areas to run out of water.

The monthly scare story from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology warns that extended dry conditions are more likely than not and that rivers are already suffering.

The BBC (and most other mainstream news organisations to be fair,)  lying about imminent water shortages, almost empty reservoirs, searing heat on prolonged heatwaves (three hot days together now gounts as a heatwave,) and the greehouse properties of Carbon Dioxide should not surprise anyone who has listened to or read mainstream media on climate change. Compare their news to empirical evidence and it quickly becomes obvious lying is the default position, and when it is called out on this they revert to bullying tactics and “de-platforming” in order to silence the truth seekers.

 Recent action by farmers in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Poland and by government agencies and car manufacturers in Germany and Italy to protect their industries, should be wholeheartedly supported, they have shown that the EU whilst autocratic is also smart enough to understand that almost 2,000,000 unemployed car workers and up to 9,000,000 sub suppliers is a problem that may just cause bigger problems than they can cope with - typically, the UK Government has declared that “just because the EU think this is right, does not mean that we should follow them”.

Are our leaders and opinion influencers really  prepared to destroy successful industries, and sacrifice national prosperity to pander to “Climate Change” without any thought about how, by 2030 when according to 'net zero' policy Internal Combustion Engined cars and vans will no longer be available, we will have replaced the entire electricity distribution grid, built a few dozen new nuclear power stations, and have in place a recharging infrastructure to accommodate the switch to electric vehicles? An energy system capable of supporting the base load increase caused by the switch to electric cars and the replacement of gas boilers for domestic heating and hot water within seven years is beyond the bounds of possibility, even if our heaviliy indebted nation could afford it, seven decades would be a more realistic timescale than seven years. Every promise, every ambition, every policy is predicated on the blind faith that just around the corner some new technology will be available that will make it all possible. 

There is constant talk of “Green Energy” jobs bonanza, but as the new technologies that priests of the Church of Sciencology truly believe will deliver it have not yet left the world of science fiction and established themselves are realities. And even if these technologies do magically appear it is certain the number of jobs that will be lost do not match those fantasy “new jobs in green industries," but then 10,000,000 unemployed will be more carbon neutral than 10,000,000 employed so the Climate Crisis mob will be able to claim this as a success.

Since the early 1940’s Fusion Power/Energy has just been “around the corner”, only now have we reached a experimental stage where energy in has been balanced by energy out - but only for one millionth of a second - so still some way to go.


Battery technology MAY progress, we may get that all important breakthru that renders fossil fuel energy null and void, BUT, until that day, you need to run both old and new energy sources in tandem and prepare to change over should the technology allow.

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.

Climate Alarmists Turn Up the Heat as Temperature Records Broken at British Airports

 Those climate change scaremongers are at it again, we get a few days Mediterranean style hot weather here in the UK and the climate sciencetits are screaming that we are all going to die unless we cancel civilization

Climate Alarmists Turn Up the Heat as Temperature Records Broken at British Airports

The climate Thermageddonites got their U.K. heat record of 40°C in the end, courtesy of a measuring device in Coningsby, Lincolnshire. The BBC noted on Radio 4 last night that the record temperature arose in the “village” but co-ordinates on the Met Office site place the device halfway down the runway at RAF Coningsby, home of two squadrons of frontline, combat ready squadrons and a training base for Typhoon pilots. In joint second place, perhaps to nobody’s great surprise, was Heathrow, one of the busiest airports in the world.

The last two days in England were very hot, probably the hottest for over 100 years, although the possible distortions caused by urban heat (and jet afterburners!) need to be taken into account in the surface record. On the Radio 4 late news, BBC meteorologist Ben Rich explained that the heat was caused by southerly winds bringing hot air from the Sahara. The wind direction then changed to the west, and by the time he spoke on Tuesday evening, the rain was falling in London and the temperature had plunged 20°C. This of course was the sound scientific reason for the high temperatures, although science was laid to one side at the end when Rich said it “feels like a tipping point”.

In a similar emotional outburst, the serial Covid lockdown campaigner Piers Morgan told his audience on TalkTV that if we are not very careful, “we are heading for an apocalypse”. Also signed onto the apocalypse theme was London Mayor Sadiq Khan. He pulled the ‘things were much colder in the old days’ line, by telling Nick Robinson on Wednesday’s Today programme that when he was growing up, “you had heatwaves every 20 years”.

Brendan O’Neill captured the hysterical wittering with an entertaining article for the Spectator. Is anyone else tiring of all this green nonsense, he asked. “There is something medieval about it. There is something creepily pre-modern in the idea that sinful mankind has brought heat and fire and floods upon himself with his wicked, hubristic behaviour. What next – plagues of locusts as a punishment for our failure to recycle?” O’Neill noted the thoughts of the Guardian Environment Editor who claimed we were as “guilty as hell”. He sounded like “one of those crackpot millenarian preachers you’d see on street corners in the old days”. ... continue reding at The Daily Sceptic

“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.

It may seem far fetched but it is possible to link the techniques of the climate change / anti capitalist lobby to the brainwashing prorammes used by the Nazis in Germany, Stalin's Soviet regime in Russia and Chaitrman Mao's brutal government in Communist China. Thus it becomes quite similar to malware that infects computer systems. The left do not care about saving the planet, all they are interested in is advancing their totalitarian, globalist agenda.

Heat Pumps - Exposing Boris' Lies About Net Zero Future

 

When Boris Johnson announced his great plan for taking the country to 'net zero' energy systems by 2050 the plan to replace our reliable, efficient gas boilers with heat pumps was greeted with childish overenthusiasm by some (the science fanboys,) and incredulous laughter by others, (the cynical pragmatists who know something about heat pumps. The government’s published Net Zero Strategy has triggered the the Green Blob to launched a barrage of propaganda designed to persuade the public of the merits of replacing gas boilers with heat pumps is not only practical but a great idea that will save us shedloads of money, (whenn I say 'The Green Blob' obviously I mean those of them who are not fully occupied with gluing their arses to the M25.) But it is not just a government seeking to earn 'greenie points' from the flat faced Swedish trollette Greta Thunberg and the people who want to drive us back to lifestyles of medieval deprivation with iPhones that are on board with this eco - friendly delusion.

A recent puff piece in the Daily Telegraph gave the impresion that heat pumps are the great new technology that will save the planet, repeating the oft quoted but unsubstantiated claim that they will reduce household energy costs. Unfortunately they are neither new nor very good, so if you currently have gas central heating or electric storabge heaters, claiming that heat pumps could save you money and heat your home just as efficiently is an outright lie.

The first thing people need to understand is that heat pumps are noisy ad expensive, have been around for nearly a hundred years and the technology is basically a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit in reverse.

Even proponents are forced to admit that installing an air sourced heat pump (ASHP) will cost a typical homeowner between £10,000 and £20,000, depending on the size of house. Ground source heat pumps work out much dearer still. This does not include the cost of extra insulation which most homes will need for heat pumps to work properly, which could easily run into several thousand pounds.

Because heat pumps, which run on electricity, essentially capture heat from the outside air via refrigerants, they are more energy efficient than conventional electric or gas heating. Think of an air conditioner or fridge in reverse. Over the year as a whole, ASHPs use about a third of the energy used in a gas boiler to produce the same amount of heat.

However, despite recent energy price hikes, electricity remains five times the price of gas. Consequently energy costs won’t fall, but will instead rise by about 60 per cent. This equates to roughly £300 pa for the average household. Approximately 20million homes have gas central heating, and for the vast majority costs will be much higher.

This is, of course, why the government is proposing to increase taxes on gas, via green taxes and the carbon tax, so that it ends up being dearer than the ridiculously expensive heat pump technology.

The point nobody is talking about, the elephant in the room as it were, is how effective heat pumps are at actually hearing a house. Studies conducted in  northern Europe show that they cannot reach the same temperatures as has boilers - which is why you need HUGE radiators with tepid water running through them - and you need extra electric heating to get a decent hot bath. Air source heat pumps, the most popular type, fall woefully short of producing the level of energy needed to heat a home and are hideously expensive to install, about £18,000 on average by the time plumbing, radiators and wiring have been replaced is the official estimate, so Boris's offer of a £5000 grant is only a fraction of the cost. The alternative, ground source heat pumps, which draw heat from the soil are even more a non - starter.

Ground-source heat pumps are more reliable than air-source type (because the air temp changes much more than does subsoil temp.) Many British homes are quite unsuitable for ground source heat pump installation anyway. You need quite a big garden to draw the heat from, digging this up to install the system would be prohibitively expensive for most people and removing the heat from the soil during winter is not going to do the plants any good

In an interview with The Telegraph Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng  the Business and Energy Secretary claimed that new green heating technology is 'still in its infancy' and as low emissions alternative to gas heating it has a long way to go. However he added that heat pumps were not "much worse" than the technology they are designed to replace. This is complete and utter bollocks, another case of a government minister with no knowledge at all of the subject most relevant to his portfolio.

In an interview with The Telegraph Kwarteng conceded that, while gas boilers had been "refined over many years ... heat pumps are still in their infancy". This is just wrong, the basic technology (heat exchangers linked to compressed gas circulators,) has been used in refrigeration for around 150 years while heat pumps have been in use for nearly a hundred. Like another green bong dream (a bong dream is like a pipe dream but uses a more potent intoxicant,) electric cars which first hit the road in 1839, there are very good reasons why heat pumps did not catch on and become the standard for home heating many decades ago.

But government ministers and their 'scientific' advisers are not much interested in facts so the demonstrable scientific truth that the new technology provides significantly less heat in homes than traditional boilers is being "exaggerated", Mr Kwarteng insisted (probably by those ubiquitous conspiracy theorists politicians and propagandists are always banging on about.)

Mr Kwateng doesn't think actually heat pumps are that much worse than boilers. He just thinks they they could be improved if there was more investment."

To this end the government plans to provide incentives to firms willing to invest in the UK production of heat pumps. There also needs to be investment in hydrogen fuel cells which will help the Government meet its target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to zero, as well as help to "drive economic growth", create new jobs, and bring down the costs of the technology, according to the government's published policy plans

It is gratifying to know the Energy Secretary admits that heat pumps are worse than gas boilers for warming up homes but what he fails to realise is, the well established and irrefutable laws of thermodynamics encoded by Isaac Newton a few years ago now, are totally against attempts trying to improve their performance to the extent they will become a viable alternative to gas. Heat pumps suck latent heat (energy) out of the air and transfer it via heat exchangers to gas contained in a cylinder. compressing this gas intensifies the heat which is then transferred to a water tank via another heat exchanger.

Another of Newton's laws rules that the energy (electricity) consumed by a heat pump will always exceed the energy (heat) produced by the heat pump, thus considerably increasing the demand for electricity as well as the cost to consumers to heat their homes.

For example, if we assume a typical annual gas consumption of 21,000 kw-hrs (at 3.5p/kw-hr) per household for heating by gas, a heat pump could reduce this energy consumption by a factor of 3 to 7,000 kw-hrs (at 21p/kw-hr) .

But, there is another issue here which the government and their 'scientific advisers (aka green blob enthusiasts,) are probably intentionally overlooking . The same typical household will consume around 2,000 kw-hrs of electricity annually for lighting, appliance, cooking etc. If this householder  replaces his/her gas boiler with a heat pump, their overall electricity consumption will increase from 2,000 kw-hrs to 9,000 kw-hrs, an increase of a factor of 4.5 thereby doubling the cost of heating and domestic power for the householder.

Also, if the same householder replaces his ICE car with an electric car as we are told must happen in order for Boris to achieve his net zero pledge and get a gold star from Queen Greta, that car will consume a further 2,000 kw-hrs for an annual mileage of around 8,000 miles. So, the householder’s electricity consumption will now be 11,000 kw-hrs, an increase of 5.5 times what was originally consumed.

Such an increase of electricity use, if scaled up over the country, is totally unrealistic. How many wind farms and solar panels would have to be installed to meet this scaled up demand particularly when all the conventional power stations are being shut down and a nuclear power station construction programme has been effectively abandoned because the greenm bob's hatred of CO2 is only exceeded by their hatred of emission free nuclear energy generators. The National Grid electrical energy distribution system, already close to collapse due to ever increasing demand for electrical power, would have to be completely replaced to handle over 5 times the capacity it is currently designed to do, and the mains feed into every household would have to be upgraded. The government's green dream is totally  unrealistic.

And just to hammer another nail into the coffin of Boris' 'net zero' bollocks, if hydrogen is being considered as an alternative energy resource to replace natural gas, guess what is needed to manufacture it? – Electricity, and copious amounts of it!!

Climate Change: Scientists Can't Explain Why Global Warming Stopped

The science is settled they tell us, global warming is happening faster than anyone has predicted, they tell us. But ask why the global mean temperature has not risen for eighteen years and they start shifting weight from one foot to the other or suddenly find their fingernails totally fascinating. 

 Try as they might, the climate science crooks and liars cannot some up with any plausible reason why the global temperature has not warmed for eighteen years. Their latest stupidity, a claim that the missing hear is hiding at the bottom of the ocean would require Newtonian laws of thermodynamics to go into reverse because when I was at school it was always accepted that warmer water rises to the surface while colder water sinks. The pointy heads are now paying the price for looking at computer models instead of reality and their attempts to blind us with science are getting more and more desperate and comical..
