Who will police green Utopia? And how?
This post is adapted from a recent Twitter thread, based on a Telegraph article, in which it is suggested: Police may have to enforce strict environmental laws as part of Government's ambitious Green agenda Ambitious climate change targets set by the Government will...
Climate Resistance vs. Extinction Rebellion
Earlier this month, I debated Extinction Rebellion co-founder, Roger Hallam on Darren Grimes' Youtube show, Reasoned. If you don't know Darren yet, you should. He started a Brexit campaign for young people and students, and drew the intense ire of the anti-Brexit...
Where were we…
It has been nearly five years since there was a new blog post at this site. And it was a pretty thin blog in the few years leading up to that. At the time, it seemed that blogging, which is time-consuming, had little to offer to the 'debate'. Everything that could be...
It’s the End of the World… As They Know it
One of the hypotheses posited on this blog is that the preoccupation with the end of the world is in reality a displaced existential, and altogether far more internal crisis. Where you can see climate alarmism, you can see a crisis afflicting the individual,...
Ask a Stupid Question
A premise of democracy that I believe is worth defending is that it is incumbent on those seeking either change or for the status quo to be sustained to define and defend their arguments, even against robust criticism, and even against seemingly stupid and evil...
The Grimey "Science" of Conspiracy Theories
David Robert Grimes has emerged from Lewandowsky's shadow, again, to go forth increase and multiply the bullshit/batshit/bad science quotient of the social and behavioural sciences -- as if they needed it. Grimes's new paper On the Viability of Conspiratorial Beliefs...
Freedom to Invent ‘Information’
Back in June, chair of the UK Committee on Climate Change (CCC) John Gummer, aka Lord Deben, appeared on BC Radio 4’s Today programme to talk about the CCC’s new report , 'Reducing emissions and preparing for climate change: 2015 Progress Report to Parliament'. The...
The UK's Energy Policy Money Pit
Apologies for the long hiatus. Sadly, the rumoured millions that flow from evil oil capitalists to equally despicable bloggers does not exist (or has not reached this far), and I have had to focus on other things. More on that climate mythology coming here soon....
Brian Cox's Weird Science
Brian Cox -- of wide-eyed BBC science spectaculars fame -- is lauded as one of science's leading advocates, and a 'science communicator'. But for a man who is so keen to extol the virtues of the scientific method, and its unequalled ability to make sense of the world...
What Do Psychologists Have to Say About Climate Change?
One of the least-explored but most revealing things about the climate change debate (such as it is) is the intersection of climate science and psychology. I have yet to see anything from psychologists that sheds any light on the debate more than it merely exacerbates...

The crippling cost of Net Zero
Green technocrats are utterly indifferent to the lives of ordinary people. The International Energy Agency (IEA) published a special report last week, setting out its proposals for achieving ‘Net Zero’ carbon emissions. One of its headline demands is that gas-fired...
Do we really want to go to war for the climate?
The British defence establishment is spoiling to become the global climate police. Senior politicians and officials seem to be carving out a new green role for Britain’s armed forces and so-called ‘intelligence’ agencies. According to these reports, troops and spies...
The vanity of the global climate talks
Who in their right mind thinks Boris, Biden and Ursula will ‘save the world’? Earlier this week, stories emerged of the prime minister’s plans to once again bring forward the UK’s climate targets. According to the BBC, the government is set to announce that ‘carbon...
The main casualty of the ‘climate crisis’? Journalism
The Sky News Daily Climate Show is an exercise in activism, not news. After much self-congratulating hype, Sky News broadcast the first episode of its Daily Climate Show last night. ‘Hello and welcome to the UK’s only climate daily news show where we track the changes...
The public just isn’t buying the climate agenda
The Tories' Green Homes Grant scheme is yet another failure of green policymaking. This week, the UK government announced it would be scrapping the beleaguered Green Homes Grant scheme. Launched at the end of last summer, the scheme was intended to subsidise the...
Come clean about the cost of Net Zero
Going carbon-neutral would mean a drastic reduction in living standards, but no politician can admit it. The UK parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) published a report last week that found ‘there is no coordinated plan with clear milestones towards achieving’...
Texas: a crisis caused by policy, not climate
Blaming climate change for the cold snap, or renewables for the blackouts, lets energy planners off the hook. In mid-February, an unexpected and severe cold snap hit most of the USA. It was caused by Arctic air pushed down from the north by a rare but not...
The Cumbria coal mine must go ahead
The green blob's attempt to reverse a democratic decision is a disgrace. When plans for a coal mine were recently given the go-ahead by Cumbria County Council, green campaigners, journalists and quangocrats were outraged. They demanded that MPs, ministers and the...
Democracy wakes up on the road to Net Zero
A FEW days ago the Times broke the story of a leaked memo from Whitehall, in which it was claimed that the government is considering economy-wide carbon taxes. Amongst the most troubling of these interventions were demands from academics and campaigners that the price...
Why greens love lockdown
Greens now want harder, longer lockdowns to tackle climate change. Are they mad? Over the past year, the response to the Covid-19 pandemic has caused untold damage to people’s lives. Discussing whether draconian policies are effective, or whether there may be other...
