This is very worth reading because it beautifully lays out the faulty thinking that has given us suicidal economic policy that has also made no impact on climate change whatsoever.

Characteristically, it pretends that those who oppose Net Zero do so because they deny that the climate is changing (no one sensible does), that outsourcing our emissions to poor countries, an accounting trick, is somehow green (it's not) and, most importantly, challenges the argument that the overwhelming majority of carbon emissions produced in the world today are emitted by countries that care about economic growth way more than they care about "saving the planet" (China, India etc) by citing Kenya whose entire annual emissions are roughly equivalent to what China emits in about 8 hours.

The hoax is not climate change. The hoax is that we can stop it by making ourselves poorer.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Earth is still bound to the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, and our planet's average global temperature still hovers around a very livable 15°C.

This is far below the world's long-term planetary average of 18°C to 24°C - seen throughout most of Earth's biological history. It makes the idea of a global warming crisis seem out of sync with reality.

Despite four decades of continuous climate alarmism, roughly 10% of the Earth's total land area remains permanently capped by glacial ice, which covers 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles).

That is nearly a third of its extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago), when continental ice sheets reached their historical zenith.

The Antarctic ice sheet remains the largest and thickest body of ice on the planet, extending up to 4.8 kilometers (about 3 miles) deep. It holds roughly 90% of global ice volume and accounts for 85% of total glacial land cover. Spanning 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), Antarctica alone makes up 8.3% of Earth's total land surface.

A basic geographical reality is often forgotten: land comprises a mere 28% of the planet's surface. All human cities, towns, and infrastructure combined occupy just 1% to 3% of that land (while deserts take up 33% and forests 31%).

We live on an ocean world, and waters cover 72% of the globe to an average depth of 2.3 miles.

Crucially, the oceans hold 86% of the global carbon reservoir and absorb over 90% of retained thermal energy. By contrast, the atmosphere holds a fraction of a percent of each. The oceans—not human industrial activity—serve as the true long-term regulatory engine for atmospheric carbon dioxide and global climate stability.

The current Quaternary Glaciation is part of an ice age cycle that began 34 million years ago with the thermal isolation and glaciation of Antarctica, later intensified by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama and orbital variations (Milankovitch cycles).

Carbon dioxide was not the driver of these immense shifts.

All of human civilisation, agriculture and technological progress has unfolded within a brief, warm respite: the Holocene interglacial period, which began just 11,700 years ago.

Yet for 40 years, the narrative has been dominated by a campaign driven by an unaccountable bureaucratic authority—the United Nations—pushing an agenda of global control.

The promised catastrophe of runaway, unprecedented warming never arrived.

Starmer: “I’ve left Britain in a better place”:

Wide open borders
Record taxes
String of scandals
Record energy bills
Two-tier justice
Disastrous energy policy
A joke on the world stage
Islamism unchecked
Enemies emboldened
Territory sold off
Ordinary people maligned
Failed on grooming gangs
Free speech eroded
No idea what he’s doing
Widely loathed
Most unpopular PM in history

Good riddance!

@ClaireCoutinho has posted this on LinkedIn...

If you work in the control room or anywhere else in the electricity system and you have concerns over the security of our electricity supplies it's NOT misconduct to approach a Member of Parliament with those concerns

Claire Coutinho appears to be pursuing these claims with vigour which is encouraging

Approaching @ofgem is also an option

🚨 BREAKING: WESTMINSTER DEMOCRACY HAS OFFICIALLY COLLAPSED.

You do not have to be a fan of Nigel Farage to see how incredibly corrupt our political system has become under Labour.

Farage has just resigned his seat in Parliament to trigger an immediate "people versus the establishment" by-election in Clacton.

The press conference he just gave exposed a terrifying level of state and media corruption.

He revealed how the establishment media literally targeted his family by publishing his daughter's home address, exposing her to targeted harassment.

He faces daily death threats that the police completely ignore, all while the state quietly slashed his security funding by 70%. 💷

Even worse, he exposed how the Labour uniparty keeps changing the election and donation rules just to crush their political rivals.

This is not a democracy. This is a system where the ruling party uses the state, the media, and two-tier policing to intimidate and silence anyone who opposes them.

If they can use these authoritarian tactics against a prominent MP, they can do it to any everyday citizen who dares to speak out.

RT to expose this corrupt Labour regime and demand our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it���s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

At least the homeless will be warm tonight, and pensioners who normally freeze over winter due to high energy costs will enjoy a tipple in the backyard while watching their bank balance grow by not having to put the heating on. 👍🏻 Think of the hard-hit hospitality sector enjoying bumper days with al fresco dining, and all of us happy people getting a dose of vitamin D that’s been hard to find all year. It’s a few days of ☀️☀️☀️—enjoy it and get a life! 👍🏻🍺🍺 You can moan all you like, but there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s called natural Earth climate change, just like the Ice Age. 😉

🇬🇧 There is a generation of young British people who have never known what it feels like to live in a country that actually works for them. Cannot find a job. Cannot afford a home. Cannot afford to learn to drive. Cannot afford to start a family. And the people responsible for every single one of those failures are currently debating how to stop them using social media. RT if this generation deserves so much better than this.

When you vote tomorrow, remember Plaid’s record:

1️⃣ £120m on 36 more Senedd members instead of funding the NHS

2️⃣ Backed the 20mph default speed limit which cost the Welsh economy £9.5bn

3️⃣ Made Wales a Nation of Sanctuary for illegal migrants at a cost of £60m

Reject it.

‼️ WTF? Whilst you were distracted …

Labour has just voted through powers to FORCE pension funds to invest your money in UK government ‘priorities’.

Meaning Labour effectively takes control of up to 10% of your private pension to invest in bollocks.

I call that theft. How dare the government take MY money for their projects. WTF?
