By Paul Homewood h/t Ian Magness It’s nice to see that Ben Marlow has finally woken up to reality, after years of promoting Net Zero: For an industry built on the quiet purr of its expensive technology, the sound of the electric car market screeching to a halt is too loud not […]

Around the time of the first Earth Day (1970), Environmentalists were making dire predictions (via Mark Perry): …world famines of unbelievable proportions. some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the “Great Die-Off.” By the year 2000, … there won’t be any more crude oil. Lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would…

Brendan O’Neill writes at Spiked Greta’s class war. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images. The green ideology is the enemy of working people. It was like a case study in indifference. There was privileged Gen Zer Greta Thunberg and other Euro eco-brats smiling and flicking peace signs as they called on the […]

The climate cult thought the serious money was all in, forever. Til now, weather zealots could call on Wall Street to bankroll the climate industrial complex; there was no end to the amount of money available for harebrained, uneconomic wind and solar projects; no end to the unhinged war on hydrocarbons. These days, not so […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Dennis Ambler The EU is going to plough on with Net Zero insanity, regardless of the cost: The EU is looking to front-load massive anticipatory investments into its energy infrastructure, shifting risk from industry to consumers and risking a landscape with unneeded or under-used pylons.

The Christchurch Mosque Massacres, Covid-19, deep political disillusionment, and the jealous cruelty of the intersectionists: all had a part to play in causing School Strike 4 Climate’s bright bubble of hope and passion to burst. But, while it floated above us, it was something that mattered. Something Important. Chris Trotter writes – […]
