Will Germany be the first to ditch its net zero commitments?

 by Ross Clark via The Spectator, 18 September 2023

 

Things are not going well in Germany’s bid to reach net zero by 2045, five years earlier even than Britain’s own unrealistic target. For months, the German government has been trying to devise a way to save its heavy industry from high energy prices which are sending production fleeing to Asia. Just last year, chemicals giant BASF announced that it would invest in a new £10 billion plant in China rather than Europe, thanks to the cost of energy.

Now, the government seems to have found a way. It is going to raid its £200 billion climate transition fund, which was supposed to invest in green technology. The fund was also meant to compensate householders who have been groaning under the expense of policies such as next year’s proposed ban on new gas boilers. ... Continue reading >>>

As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave.

The Pushback Goes Corporate: BMW Warns ICE Car Ban Poses Major Threat To European Automakers

 As the reality of EU and UK 'net zero' policies on authomobile manufacture and sales in the west starts to dawn on industry leaders, we see once again how China has played western leader for mugs, by paying lip service to their high minded but ultimately foolish and self destructive pledges on reducing CO2 emissions. While appearing to go along with the climate catastrophe scam and appearing to support globalist policies such as the transition to sustainable energy sources and the switch from petrol and diesel driven vehclies to battery powered forms of transport, China's government has positioned itself to control the market in battery technology while increasing its own CO2 output exponentially.

Now we see the first acknowledgement that while European car makers will not be able to compete in the Electric Vehicle market because they must buy essential raw materials from Chinese companies that also own the rival Chinese Electric Vehicle makers and will not be able to make or sell petrol and diesel powered cars because of politically motivated, virtue signalling bans on their manufacture and sale imposed by western governments.

Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,

The EU’s pledge to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars and vans from 2035 poses an “imminent risk” to Europe’s car manufacturers, which are unlikely to win a looming EV price war with their Chinese competitors, BMW chairman Oliver Zipse has told the Financial Times.

“I want to send a message: I see that as an imminent risk,” Zipse said.

The executive, however, said BMW was in a better position to compete with the Chinese manufacturers, most of which are targeting buyers of cheaper and smaller electric vehicles.

Yet, “The base car market segment will either vanish or will not be done by European manufacturers,” Zipse told FT.

European Union member states in March approved an emissions regulation under which the bloc will end sales of new carbon dioxide-emitting cars and vans in 2035.

The new rules target 55% CO2 emission reductions for new cars and 50% for new vans from 2030 to 2034 compared to 2021 levels, as well as 100% CO2 emission reductions for both new cars and vans from 2035.

The landmark deal was made possible after Germany – the biggest economy, the biggest car market, and the biggest car manufacturer – sought and won an exemption for e-fuels. Germany wanted sales of new cars with internal combustion engines if they run on e-fuels to continue beyond 2035, and it got that exemption.

The slump in exports of Germany’s auto industry to China in the first quarter of 2023 could be the beginning of a new long-term trend of “strong disruption” in German-Chinese trade as China’s EV boom accelerates, researchers at the IW institute in Cologne said in a report in June.

“There appear to be strong disruptions playing out in the automotive sector, especially regarding China’s increasing importance as an exporter of electric cars,” the report’s authors wrote.

The west is committing suicide, led by leftist voters who vote with their emotions rather than engaging their brains, and are utterly incapable of using logic, reason, economics and (most importantly) physics.

This knowledge and the whole Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset plan has been known for at least ten years yet it is only now, as the reality that globalism will destroy them, that German manufacturers are finally waking up? The whole west is being de-industrialized as you must destroy it all to Build Back Better.  Remember the words of Bond villain lookalike klaus Schwab,"You will own nothing and be happy".

Then consider this:

“The Global Identity Project is designed to shift the global economy away from private ownership and into what the WEF calls an “access model” where you own nothing but rent goods and services from the world’s billionaires and billionaire corporations.”

15-Minute Cities Will Enslave the People

Blog/WEF

But some people are wise to it:

“Make no mistake, it’s not about your convenience, and it’s not about saving the planet. It will be a complete impoverishment and enslavement of all the people,” German MEP Christine Anderson said regarding the push for 15-minute cities. She’s right. The 15-minute city is marketed as a futuristic town where everyone will live within 15 minutes of all the services they will ever need. The globalists are promoting such cities as affordable, convenient, and virtuous as they combat climate change. The truth of the matter is that these cities are reminiscent of the Jewish ghettos during World War II or the Japanese internment camps in the US. They are designed to contain and control the people and inhabitants or should I say 'inmates' who will need permission from a government official to leave their assigned zone, even for a short period.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) claims that Paris will soon become a 15-minute city, and Milan and Melbourne are also running pilots to test this design. Every street will have a bike lane as it will be easier to reduce our access to cars. Reducing our access to personal vehicles will reduce our ability to travel outside of our 15-minute enclosures. Everyone will work within a 15-minute radius, their children will go to school within this 15-minute radius, and there will be no “need” to leave. The problem here is that they have the power to prevent people from leaving.

As Anderson said, we have seen that governments can easily implement climate emergency lockdowns, coerce people into taking unsafe medications and destroy the lives and careers of those who do not comply.

  “The looming existential threat of climate change and worsening income inequality require us to urgently rethink our existing cities, and rapid urbanization makes it imperative that we create a new and better city-building template for cities to house future city dwellers,” the website for the enclosures states.

Since governments have made homeownership completely unaffordable to many, they are marketing “accessory dwelling units” (ADUs) under 1,000 sq ft as a viable alternative to housing. They claim this will solve homelessness as well since we will all be completely equal. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY.

The government will choose where we live and how we live. The globalists want us to rely solely on government, a government that they hope will be a united one-world unit. The majority will be the “have-nots.” The few elites at the top will prosper on their puppets in their doll house towns who they can play with like Sim characters.

Reason suggestd that the globalists will fail because they omit to take into account human nature, but unless a lot more of us start to push back har and soon, stopping them will only be achieved with blood on the streets.

Millions Of Brits Told Not To Heat Homes At Night As Part Of 'Net Zero' Push

 by Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge

Britain's Climate Change Committee (CCC) has urged millions of Britons to not heat their homes in the evening to help the government hit its net zero target.

Chris Stark, the Climate Change Committee head, has previously admitted he uses a gas boiler because a heat pump is 'a very difficult thing to put in there'

No, they aren't urging elites to ditch their private jets for commercial, or not to burn 1,000 of fuel taking the yacht out for a jaunt. Chris Stark, head of the CCC, wants ordinary citizens to turn off their electric heaters (heat pumps) at night as part of a wider drive to deliver "emissions savings," which includes a shift away from gas boilers - which Chris, a hypocrite, still has.

Contained in a document on "behavior change," the CCC recommended that Britons instead "pre-heat" their houses in the afternoons when electricity use is lower, and would theoretically save families money.

"There is significant potential to deliver emissions savings, just by changing the way we use our homes," reads the CCC's sixth "carbon budget" paper, which lays out how the UK should reduce its emissions between 2033-37.

 

"Where homes are sufficiently well insulated, it is possible to pre-heat ahead of peak times, enabling access to cheaper tariffs which reflect the reduced costs associated with running networks and producing power during off-peak times."

 

"The grid is already creaking and daft ideas like this show just how much worse it will become," Andrew Montford, the director of Net Zero Watch, told The Telegraph. "It's clear that renewables are a disaster in the making. We now need political leaders with the courage to admit it."

And according to Tory MP Craig Mackinlay, head of his party's Net Zero Scrutiny group, "It is becoming clear that adherence to judicable Carbon Budgets and edicts coming from the CCC are developing into farce." ... Continue reading >>>

Implosion of Germany's Green Party Threatens To Destabilse EU

 

With the defeat of Donald Trump in the 2020 US Presidential election, the far left parties in Liberal Democracies somewhat permaturely celebrated the defeat of what they referred to as the far right renaissance. 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. 

At the twilight of the Trump era, supporters of the German Greens brand of Cultural Maxism on both sides of the Atlantic argued that they would be the perfect antidote to the far-Right (i.e. anyone who doesn't support Cultural Marxism,). They were the largest and most powerful Green Party in Europe, and according to left leaning pundits, uniquely positioned to counter polarisation. According to liberal logic, the Greens would excite voters bored with Germany’s conventional centre-Right (CDU) and centre-Left (SDP), “stabilise” the political centre, and unite different segments of the electorate with their “hopeful message” and “outsider status”. A Green wave, it was hoped, would crush the rise of nationalism and populism tide.

The best laid scheme o'mice and men gang oft agley, Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote and they did in this case because the exact opposite has happened. Once a part of government in coalition with the pro EU Social Democrats and the pro business FDP, the party decided to hold their partners to ramnsom by threatening to wreck the coalition if they didn't get their way on policy. Thus they forced through many deeply unpopular, extremist, woke and globalist policies that have contributed to the crippling increase in living costs for German citizens. The final nail in their coffin was to force their partners to pass a bill that would ban gas boilers for domestic heating and force homoners to replace them with costly, inconvenient and inefficient heat pumps. 

In recent regional elections The Greens have been eclipsed by the far-Right parties they were supposed to counter: after two years of the Greens as a part of government pushing their loonytoons idealism on the country they are currently polling at 13%, while the far-Right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has seen its popularity soar to 20%.

 Since last summer’s high of 23-24%, the German Greens have plummeted ten points in the polls. And in Bremen last month, they saw their worst regional election result in the northern state in over 20 years.

The German Greens represent everything that is wrong about politics in the west. They are shallow, self - righteous ideologues who care more about virtue signalling and being seen to worship at the shrine of St. Greta of Thunberg than advocating policies that would actually benefit their voters.

Above all, they are utterly incompetent and incapable of getting anything done. They want to force every household to purchase expensive and inconsistent heat pumps. Meanwhile, after five years and $5 mill they still haven’t installed a heat pump in their own party headquarters. Let that sink in for a moment. They want to force heat pumps on everyone, but can’t manage to do it for themselves.

The news gets even better for Germans. Economy Minister Robert Habeck warned today that Germany may be forced to wind down or even switch off industrial capacity if Ukraine’s gas transit agreement with Russia isn’t extended after it expires at the end of next year. Maybe, just maybe, shutting down the last nuclear power plants, a move the Greens insisted on even though nuclear power stations emit no carbon dioxide, was not such a good idea.

Most Greens seem to be deeply negative people who are not really happy unless they are unhappy, and making everyone around them unhappy too. They seem to blend self- hatred and self-flagellation with sanctimonious self-regard in a viscerally unpleasant way,

Trying to find common ground with them is impossible, as soon as the mainstream moves towards them the Green, showing that trait that only ever allows the leftist mindset to move further in the same direction, will adeptly move to a more extreme and impractical point of view to sabotage any possible coalition, because of course, it isn’t what they want. Were it so would be readily available, after all – who among us doesn’t want to keep the environment in which we live in good shape?

 But one is always left with the impression that, were it to be found, they wouldn’t actually enjoy the utopia they preach as what they really, really enjoy is “the battle – the struggle”. In German, “Kampf” and in Arabic, “Jihad,” to impose their will and values on the whole world. Both very evocative terms, and I think rather apt to the Greens. Their extreme-Left dogma is mainly deployed simply to provoke and annoy, and the dippy-hippy overtones are completely false – they are, as we see constantly, terrifyingly uniform and authoritarian. But then, as we all know, Fascism comes in both Left and Right wing flavours, doesn’t it?

Democracy Murdered In France
I'm hearing very disturbing news from the French regional elections, predicting that the Front National, comfortable winners in last week's first round of regional elections, hasve been routed in all regions. For that to happen, and to happen through a massive increase in turnout, suggests electoral fraud on a hughe scale. Or has France joined Britain in adopting the Islamic version of democracy, which is one man one vote, one Imam one thousand votes.

Who Runs America, The White House Or The Shadow Government?
Reports of President Barack Obama’s meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit over the weekend do not look right in the context of yet another blitz of provocative rhetoric from The Pentagon and the Department of Defence towards Moscow.

The American Political System Is "Not A Democracy Or Constitutional Republic" - Thiel
The state of democracy in the USA has become a hot topic of conversation in American business circles in recent years.

In part one of his classic social commentary, The Road To Wigan Pier, George Orwell wrote of the grinding poverty and appalling living conditions endured by people in industrial areas.

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.

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. ...

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead?
As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave. We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.

A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy
When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

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.

Germany Forcing Farmers To Use LESS Fertilizer To Satisfy EU’s Green Agenda

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:

Just When We Need It Most, Renewable Energy Disappears

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.

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?

Heat pumps epitomise the economic folly of net zero

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/13/heat-pumps-epitomise-the-economic-folly-of-net-zero/

posted with 325 replies showing

Amid the ballyhoo from scaremongers, sciencevangelists, mathematical model merchants and research grant phishing experts about the need to achieve Net Zero if we are to 'save the planet,' there is little concrete evidence that the climate chaos we are seeing is solely the result of a slight increase in levels of Carbon Doioxide (CO) in the atmospehere (240 parts per million to 405 parts per million,) since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Despite this being a very marginal change a constant barrage of propaganda and the 'cancelling' of any scientist or medua commentator who challenged this 'existential threat from human made climate change narrative has made it almost impossible to have a civilised debate on the topic or to present a dissenting case. It has also rendered impossible  a logical analysis of the wider impact on economic and social activities. 

For all the magical thinking and grandiose pledges about green jobs and technologies, the true benefits of reducing CO2 emissions from human activity appear trivial when compared with the massive scale of costs incurred in replacing electricity distribution  grids in developed nations and increasing generating capacity while simultaneously shutting down all industrial activities involving oil, natural gas and coal. The huge destruction of our existing capital stock, from cars to industrial machinery would impose so great a cost as to make 'net zero' unchhievable without destroying industrial civilisation totally.

A good example of the follies spawned by the 'net zero'v policy is the UK government's plan to force households to replace their efficient and relatively cheap to run gas fired heating systems with expensive, inefficient and unreliable heat pumps. Now heat pumps are not a new technology, they have been around for roughly a hundred years, think of a fridge, freezer or air conditioning system in reverse.

OK, now think of a three-bedroom house currently heated by gas. Official figures suggest that installing an air source heat pump, upgrading radiators and improving insulation could cost £15,000 or more. Even after spending that money, many will find the system inadequate and require a gas or mains electricity system as backup.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg. That heat pump will require green electricity if it’s to help meet net zero. So we must also allow for building and operating the wind farms, backup storage and grid network needed to replace gas heating with electricity. All those costs must be recovered through higher electricity prices, or direct government subsidies. Even if energy costs revert to “normal” pre-2021 levels, my calculations suggest that electricity prices could well double.

Along with the higher demand, and allowing for a reduction in gas use, this could be equivalent to a net increase in bills of £1,000-£1,200 per year for our hypothetical 3-bedroom house. Moreover, we must allow for the higher costs of servicing and eventually replacing heat pumps.

And the heat pump policy is only the start of our Net Zero capital losses. Schools, hospitals, offices, shops and factories will have to be extensively refurbished or replaced to accommodate electric heating, and will then incur higher operating costs. A significant fraction of buildings and other assets could be abandoned as no longer economic because many older houses, apartment blocks and commercial buildings are totally unsuitabe for installation of heat pump technology. That could have the knock on effect of driving up both residential and commercial rents paid by housing tenants and businesses.

Then, there is transport and the hasty replacement of petrol or diesel vehicles by electric vehicles to consider, not that people would be able to travel far when all the roads are being dug up to facilitate the installation of higher capacity electricity cables. Less obviously we must allow for the reorganisation of urban and suburban areas in the name of Net Zero and “15-minute neighbourhoods”. Our whole social infrastructure – shopping, schools, community facilities – has been built over many decades on the assumption of cheap private and public transport. A large part of this may have to be replaced, at as yet unknown, but certainly prohibitive cost.

 Detailed calculations by the Cambridge engineer Professor Michael Kelly suggest that the investment required for the current Net Zero timetable will exceed £3 trillion, or 1.2 times UK GDP. Either other investment must decline or the burden will fall on household spending. You will not find Prof Kelly's research reported anywhere in mainstream media of course.

In summary, in pursuit of Net Zero by 2050, around a quarter of all UK investment will be devoted to replacing existing assets. The knock-on effect means that what’s left of the UK’s original asset base could well get older and more expensive to operate. Prospects for future improvements in productivity or healthcare or education are at risk of shrivelling in the face of endless demands to fund the energy transition.

So far we have only looked at the green dreams of research grant phishing scientists and environmentalist crusties. Let's now turn our attention to more prosaic matters.

 If you look at a weather forecast for five hours hence it makes its predictions in the form of statistical probabilities but often even those turn out to be substantially wrong. So how can there possibly be a 'climate crisis' based on forecasts of what will be happening decades hence?

The whole carbon story treats the world as a simple system where you take a couple of data points and join them up with a straight line. Already it is clear to any sane observer that it doesn't behave like that at all. Based on the predictions of a couple of decades ago the academics who started this bandwaggon were assuring us that Britain would be a flaming desert by now. How can they keep taking their fat grants and live with themselves? 

Any forecasts based on existing facts (and presumably they do and are not pure fiction) exhibit something called variance and this increases the further ahead in time you push your prediction. By the time you get to 20 years hence the range of possible outcomes covers a huge range. So precise predictions are nonsense, however big the computer is which churns them out. The grounds therefore for economically damaging the country are based on the flimsiest basis. The science is not remotely 'settled' although certain charlatans claim that it is. No-one thinks 'pollution' to be a good thing but impoverishing the nation for one relatively unimportant component of it is rank folly.

Those in power, those in technocratic positions, think tanks and advisory panels are as knowledgeable on climate science, electrical power systems, or large scale industrial engineering and economics as a people of an amazonian rain forest trible  would be on developing computer systems. The sooner there is a great purge of eco zealots and Cultural Marxists from government and senior positions in businesses and media the better. 

The most disappointing thing about this allegely Conservative government is the way they have abandoned  all conservative priniciples which are all about spending wisely and conserving things which work and are effective rather that throwing money at that which is novel, fashionable and unproven. Instead they have jumped on the globalist bandwagon and embraced a system most appropriately named by george Orwell in his novel '1984', Oligarchic Collectivism. Gas boilers ,air travel , old houses and petrol cars have to go because they are old. Never mind that they work, and never mind the evidence stacking up that the proposed alternatives don't. Despite the cost and oddly the ultimate lack of benefit to the climate or indeed our homes we must move with the times, change is saxred, science is God..

At the risk of stating the absolutely effing obvious stating the bleeding obvious  Net zero is all cost and near zero benefit .
