“…the UK [is] taking on the annual presidency of the G7 and hosting the delayed UN climate summit, COP26. The UK has placed itself at the forefront of the ambition to build a “greener and more resilient global economy.” (Stephen Booth, Conservative Home, 9th July 2020)
These are words to strike dread into the hearts of all who have our nations’ interests at heart. One of the few bits of my Cranwell training that endures is an understanding of the word ‘priority’. You can only have one, that’s what the word means. You want maximum growth or you want to wear the green hairshirt. Choose greener or choose more resilient and then go for your choice without compromise. If your choice is to accept the dubious science of anthropogenic climate change then so be it, but impose the policies that this will lead to with open eyes, making a clear statement that you are aware of where they will leave the UK in twenty years: impoverished, vulnerable and weak.
The nations which adopt a goal of cheap energy will win the race to dominate the 21st century. Choosing to run our industry on unreliable, costly and subsidised wind and solar power (which rely on fossil fuel back-up but do not pay the cost of that) while rejecting low CO2 natural gas and zero CO2 nuclear will be disastrous. Surely even the STEM-deficient UK political class can see that. Fortunately there is a way out of this dilemma.
It is 1 Nov 2021. COP26 begins. Over 30,000 delegates including heads of state, self-declared climate experts, campaigners, true believers, climate hysterics and the doom goblin bring their unshakeable belief in the end of the world to Glasgow, to agree coordinated action to tackle any climate variation from whatever they can get away with claiming as normal. The pans of Glasgow airport are thick with the private jets of a loose association of billionaires and millionaires who have gathered like vultures to feed on the carcass of Western civilisation. Mr Johnson stands to address the biggest gathering of troughers ever to assemble in the history of these islands:
“Madame Chair, I am, like all of us here, a citizen of the world. But I am the Prime Minister of the UK, and, while I have a duty to all peoplekind, my primary duty is to the people of these islands. Fortunately I can improve the lot of the former and the latter at the same time, by showing a way out of the dilemma in which we find ourselves.
Climate science hardly deserves the name. The models are wrong, they are tweaked beyond recognition. Prestigious centres of learning from around the world have worked for twenty years, have laboured mightily and have brought forth a cloud of model gnats. Only one of their models, the one which calculates that the demon CO2 has much less effect on the atmosphere than the dozens of others assume, tracks the real world. We have many more years, we have decades to address our need to control the climate. The hysterical calls for action this day can be packed away to await a true global crisis.
Having addressed that non-crisis, where are we now? We have the time to prepare ourselves, to make the world economy more resilient in the face of any challenge the future brings. My country will demonstrate how this can be done. We will lead all and every individual, everyone, rich or sick or poor into a brighter future.
Renewable energy is a false god, a cheat, a lie. Leeching off the reliability of our fossil-fuel and nuclear power stations they suck the energy life blood from our old, our poor and our sick. No new such schemes will be approved by my administration unless the operators guarantee delivery 24/7/365. And we will show our determination to right the wrongs of past agreements: we will impose a windfall tax on existing wind and solar farms which exactly matches their subsidies, the money raised to be spent on those who are most disadvantaged by the current arrangement.”
(To be continued tomorrow with Part 2 which you cannot afford to miss!)
Thanks Julian for an interesting take upon this giant item that has taken the minds of so many. – Due to this, we have had so many opinions from those who evaluate their views as being facts, with degrees won upon doubtful theory. – Those theories hold fast, due to the limits of mankind’s knowledge to date, but unfortunately are evaluated as the end line of all fact. – Emerging science is just that. – ‘Emerging’ !
I have my own probability for the future of this planet, which I will not bore anyone with as it is my opinion only ! – The government and finance of everything, from the UK to the global is open to those with ‘Investment and Power Wish Lists’ ! – Because emerging facts are slow to show up, it is possible that some investors will make good, but only in the ( relatively ) short term.
I look forward to your conclusion Julian.
The idea that humans can control the climate (one such idea is Anthropogenic Global Warming) once lead to primitive rituals such as the Rain Dance or Human Sacrifice. Now in the West religion disguised as science is replacing science. Scientists are already treated like archbishops & priests were in the past, who must be obeyed, however ludicrous their edicts.
The essence of religion is blind faith, the essence of science is scepticism. But now among climate scientists there is a blind faith in the claims of AGW theory, and woe betide anyone who questions the Evil of Carbon Dioxide.
AGW theory is promoted by the UN which sees the Great Global Warming Swindle as the means to smashing capitalism and consolidating a world government in which it will play the leading role.
Surviving pagan beliefs are helping to fulfil plans for global governance which will drag humanity down to the conditions in which those ancient pagan beliefs flourished.
I like your contribution. Puts things in persoective. The apalling concern for me, is that they may have stumbled, OK,, in ignorance and blind cretinous stupidity, but nevertheless actually have hit on a fact. In this,case it is incumbent on those of us who can, to do what is true. So when I know no better, I blindly and dutifully follow orders.
So, in the case of covid, where everywhere you turn, there are those who feel they can tell you what to do, I disobey or disabuse. Unfortunately, there’s such a lot of em and so authoratative.You waste a lot of time.
Incidentally, Why do people feel that they are ” influencers”. It appears to me to be organised so that the entire world is hanging on your every ignorant protestation. Life is fun innit. A good word that , invented by our hindi friends.
You don’t have to be a scientist but just a witness to know that all the doomsday scenarios predicted to happen in a decade or so a decade or so ago did not happen – Neither did the ones predicted in the 60’s for an ice age or the 70’s for sea levels rising or the 80’s that the sky is falling and its our fault etc etc – Its obviously all a scam getting funds to predict something that will happen after you are dead or at least retired – Why does each generation fall for it – It must be a deeply instinctive thing about not eating all the nuts before winter sets in and those that did not have that instinct did not survive the winter to pass it on so we are stuck with our nutty nut saver or in this case planet saver subconscious instinct that craves to be satisfied.
He had better not practice that speech at home! I foresee banishment from the boudoir and short rations.
Like it David. I needed a L.O.L. Hope she’s doing all right for sanitary towels and nappies.
Not eating all the nuts before winter…..
Of course, over-population of the planet is the primary problem but I have an idea, what about a pandemic or two which will run and run given the right incentives. Job done.
Spot on Julian. Somehow I can’t see B.J. saying it! Not in a million years. Glasgow being in Scotland won’t help either.
No chance of changing the Governing Party in time.
If you accept that climate change is anthropogenic, then surely the logical course of action is not to keep on increasing the human population. Ideally reduce it.
Most climate change impact is attributed to relatively few countries. But those countries that are currently not enjoying a “western lifestyle” are keen to catch up, which is very understandable. It seems very unlikely that there could ever be a World-wide deal where by those contributing the most impact would reduce and those contributing least would catch up, thus meeting at a happy medium of stability. But this will never work, of course.
The “Green Agenda” fails, because even if you do accept anthropogenic climate change none of the so-called remedies are addressing the increasing causes. So there is no need to argue the truth of anthropogenic climate change, all you need to do is point out that none of the promoted remedies will get even close to being a solution.
Once that Folly is dealt with we can start a sensible debate on the future of Planet Earth.
Alan Wheatley. No debate is needed. Communist China I believe is the only country that tried to enforce 1 child per couple. And Communist China is producing energy (and REAL atmospheric pollution) by burning fossil fuel by old fashioned methods.
CO2 DOES NOT cause HARMFUL Global Warming. Probably global warming is not even harmful at the present levels. It’s just a normal cyclical phenomena. The whole thing is simply a SCAM.
IF our rulers had any sense they would OPT OUT of the UN Climate Summit.
Fossil fuels are finished except as an interim backup.
Our native reserves are near exhausted and we must rely on foreigners.
Renewable energy has free primary fuel source and can’t be taken away from us or cut off.
As world fossil fuels become depleted, the cost will rise.
Fossil fuels are killing us all slowly and inflicting mental and physical disorders on us, especially the children,
It will take many decades to change over, we need to be working on the issues right now, Those that don’t will regret it.
Depleted? Probably not. Fifty to eighty years worth of lower carbon gas which could revolutionise industry, transport, pollution control. Mind you, Russia would be cheesed off.

There is still fracking to be explored here. Also, as the article suggests we could use nuclear fuel. It also talks of natural gas apparently we have some of that left.
I agree Harryagain we need to concentrate on self sufficiency but the ‘renewables’ are unreliable and/or far to open to NIMBYism and corruption – e.g.tidal power.
Fossil fuels ARE NOT killing us.
Good article. Our only hope is Trump getting reelected. Greencrap is a preCovid luxury we could ill afford even then. Now it’s preposterous.
MWT Hear Hear.

Well, yes all part of the agenda, along with a lot of other lies. I posted this article on Viv’s post but I’ll post it here too because I think it explains a lot.
“The Totalitarian Future Globalists Want For The Entire World Is Being Revealed”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/totalitarian-future-globalists-want-entire-world-being-revealed
Very interesting read. Nobody can say they were never told about the real agenda of the globalists
I eagerly await Part 2 which I assume will confirm that most of Part 1 is sarcasm.
Not one of life’s optimists then?
JF
Not if I have to rely on Johnson.
Johnson, as most people in political power in western democracies today, will accomodate the demands of those who are able, in whatever way, to exert maximum discomfort and coercion on them whilst slyly rebuffing the demands of the more numerous but poorly funded, less organised and less committed.
Look forward to the concluding part tomorrow.
