Guff Stream Podcast
I was on the Guff Stream podcast with Hector Drummond and Simon Roberts last week.
Not the BBC
I had a web-chat with Seb Abecasis recently, for his new Youtube channel, Not the BBC. It was quite a broad-ranging discussion, and quite good fun. I hope you agree -- watch it below.
The Anti-Democratic Climate Assembly
I have written a report on the UK Climate Assembly for the Global Warming Policy Forum, published today. Here's the press release. London, 29 January: The UK Climate Assembly, which claimed to have delivered a mandate for a green revolution, could not have delivered a...
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...

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...
How the Climate Assembly manufactured consent
This stage-managed Assembly is a sham. There is no democratic mandate for extreme climate policies. As I have been pointing out for over a decade here on spiked, the political consensus on climate change is not shared by the public – or, at best, the public’s appetite...
Paris Agreement: a commitment to terminal decline
Joe Biden’s climate ambitions will wreck industry, hike energy prices and severely damage democracy. Within hours of his inauguration, Joe Biden announced that the USA was ‘back in the Paris Climate Agreement’. Donald Trump had pledged, in June 2017, that the USA...
2020: The year of climate craziness
BEFORE it even began, 2020 was already marked to be a year of climate hysteria. It was the UK’s turn to host the annual UN climate meeting, which was scheduled to take place in Glasgow earlier this month. Hence, the first eighteen months of Boris Johnson’s premiership...
Don’t swallow this BBC food fakery
MY suspicions are always raised by attempts to control what and how we eat. As I explain briefly in my video (link below), food is at the absolute centre of culture and of family and social life. Read more at The Conservative Woman...
The lie of the ‘green industrial revolution’
Boris Johnson’s plans to ban gas boilers and rely on hydrogen are beyond crazy. Following Boris Johnson’s 10-point plan to advance the UK’s ‘green industrial revolution’, the government is bringing forward its proposed ban on gas boilers in new homes from 2025 to...
How the green ‘civil society’ lie is killing off democracy
LAST month Alok Sharma, the secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy and COP26 president (COP26 is the annual UN Climate Conference), gave a talk to the Green Alliance which consisted of a lot of wet Westminsterese green policy fluff. Read more...
