Philip Leith: Climate Scientists Clearly Don’t Believe Their Own Tales of Doom

To be referred to as a scientist suggests that someone has studied science, passed exams relevant to their subject and continued to work, exploring that particular field. Most people would consider a scientist as an intelligent human being.

Climate scientists are constantly warning us that if the global level of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions is not cut the world will suffer badly.

Bryan Leyland: A solution to our electricity problems

The proposal to subsidise plug-in solar — small solar panel units that households can hang off the balcony and plug straight into a wall socket – indicates how far the debate over our power system has drifted from its fundamental objective: to provide a reliable and economic supply of electricity

Ian Bradford: What is the UK Energy Secretary Thinking? Will UK Citizens Accept these Legally Binding Climate Polices?

UK Energy Secretary Ed Milliband has signed up to a legally binding goal to cut the UK’s carbon (meaning carbon dioxide), emissions by 87% by 2040. To meet this goal, households will need to replace boilers with heat pumps, shift to electric cars and eat 25% less meat and a fifth less dairy.

The climate target, recommended by the Government advisors the Climate Change Committee (CCC), is one of the world’s most ambitious – probably the most ambitious.

Professor James Woudhuysen: Net Zero is reversing the Industrial Revolution

Denby Pottery has survived more than its fair share of economic turmoil in its 217-year existence. But nothing it seems on the scale of the industry-destroying policies of the current Labour government. This week, the famed Derbyshire company closed its doors for the final time, citing soaring energy and labour costs. Around 600 workers have lost their jobs.

John Raine, Michael Kelly and Brian Leyland: Why New Zealand must drop Net Zero 2050

Climate Change Realism Not Alarm

Climate change alarmism has become a quasi-religion, where many normally rational scientists have moved to a rigid belief state rather than continuing to question the science and constantly check the latest evidence. Fortunately, a core of respected atmospheric physicists continues to speak out and keep rational debate alive [e.g. 1, 2, 3]. Environmental activist and writer, Michael Shellenberger [4], also counsels strongly against climate doom thinking.

Chris Morrison: Net Zero Lunatics Set to Empty Your Medicine Cabinet

Windy entrepreneur Dale Vince thinks there is “no single reason for us to drill more oil and gas in the North Sea”, former UK Green leader Caroline Lucas comments on BP’s recent cyclical profits rise by claiming, “such blatant profiteering from human misery is sickening”, while the headbangers’ headbanger George Monbiot likens Norway’s exports of hydrocarbons to “a curse to be dumped on other countries”. One can only pray that these twaddle transmitting twits do not become ill and have to call on modern, sophisticated, hydrocarbon-rich medicines.

Dr Will Jones: Industry is Being Sacrificed to Net Zero Ideology, Says Siemens Energy Boss

Europe is sacrificing industry to Net Zero ideology, the Chairman of Siemens Energy has warned, with strict emission targets crippling manufacturing in Germany. The Telegraph has more.

Chris Morrison: New Scientific Findings Expose the Hoax Behind Meat Eating Climate Alarm

Sensational new scientific findings have blown holes in the climate hoax opinion that humans need to give up eating meat to save the planet. The effect of methane (CH4), a minor ‘greenhouse’ gas, have been grossly exaggerated to suggest that animal farming poses a significant threat to the global climate. But the invented threat relies on multiplying by around ten the length of time that CH4 stays in the atmosphere – an invention under Global Warming Potential 100 know as GWP100 that is in widespread use in activist circles, including the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. At current emission levels, five Italian scientists predict 54% less warming than under GWP100, while small decreasing emissions, possible with some changes in animal diets, produce only tiny amounts of claimed warming.

Mike's Minute: The govt shouldn't have touched the carbon market

If you follow the carbon market, and you should, it is yet another lesson in the abject failure that almost certainly results in gerrymandering markets.

Four times a year you bid for credits (offsets) to counter your polluting habits.

You do this because we signed up to Paris and made a bunch of promises we were never going to be able to keep.

Peter Lynn: The Peasants are Revolting

Over the last 30 years, state sectors of Western democracies have expanded and senior level state employment, with its high pay, security and access to the levers of power became a magnet for the academically gifted, especially independence minded younger women. University educated they initially moved into ministries before spreading back into academia, and out to media, consultancies, mainstream political parties, the legal profession (including the judiciary), local government and lately, HR departments of larger corporates. During this period their political centre of gravity moved sharply left- at least partly driven by self-interest as they accrued advantages from an ever-larger government sector.

Chris Morrison: The False Temperature Claims That Underpin the COP30 Alarmist Agenda

The next two weeks of COP30 will see three favourite climate scares relentlessly broadcast to promote the fast-fading hard-Left Net Zero fantasy. They are: breaching a 1.5°C global ‘threshold’ leading to runaway temperatures; human-caused tipping points producing unimaginable natural disasters; and attribution of single-event bad weather to the use of natural hydrocarbons.

Dr James Allan: The Trudeau Disaster

In 1931 the British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster. For all practical purposes this statute granted legislative independence to the self-governing Dominions of the British Empire, which at the time basically meant Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Irish Free State and Newfoundland. The gist of this very famous statute was that the UK Parliament could no longer legislate for a Dominion without its consent. They were of equal status to the UK.

Ian Bradford: Net Zero impossible since CO2 does not control the climate

The Radical net zero plan crafted by the United Nations and endorsed by such entities as the World Economic Forum, presses nations to abdicate reliance on fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and even hydroelectric dams in favour of so called “green energy” that is not that green and does not generate and transmit reliable, affordable energy. UN chairman Antonio Guterres and UN climate chief Christiana Figueres crafted a plan that granted absolute dictatorial power to national governments to act under UN mandates to destroy the fossil fuel, livestock and other industries. Their collectivist plans were said to be based on claims that relatively minor increases in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere would submerge the Statue of Liberty, raise sea levels to kill or displace millions, and burn up land long devoted to agriculture.

Deniers are everywhere. The race is on to be a skeptic now — Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act

So many political leaders are backtracking on green policies, Bloomberg laments the Climate Deniers are Hiding in Plain Sight.

Sir Kier Starmer was a star at the last COP meeting in Azerbaijan, but this year he doesn’t even want to go to the next COP meeting in Brazil. Apparently his aides “are worried about being criticized by the Reform UK party.” Only two years ago Starmer was criticizing Rishi Sunak for missing COP27, now he’s too scared to go himself lest he look crazy-green.

John Raine, Michael Kelly, Bryan Leyland & David Lillis: A Response to Dame Anne Salmond on Climate Change

Climate Change Alarmism Versus Moderation

Dame Anne Salmond (Newsroom, 11th September 2025) [1], argues that New Zealand must ignore the recommendations from David Seymour (Act) and Shane Jones (NZ First) that New Zealand should re-negotiate its commitments under the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement. She draws attention to the risk to international trade agreements if New Zealand departs from existing obligations. However, Professor Salmond appears to be guided only by the mainstream politicised narrative on climate change.

Dr Will Jones: Trump’s UN Rallying Cry for the Defence of Western Civilisation

End open borders. Stop importing criminals. Defend your sovereignty. Fight Islamist extremism. Stand up for Christianity. End vastly expensive Net Zero climate policies. Because otherwise Europe is “going to Hell”. Trump’s hard-hitting message to the United Nations this week was music to Nile Gardner’s ears, as he writes in the Mail.

Tilak Doshi: The Tide is Turning Decisively Against Net Zero

In the belief that atmospheric CO2 is the control knob of ‘dangerous’ impending climate change, Net Zero emerged in the 2010s as the global rallying cry to ‘save the planet’. By the time the Paris Agreement was concluded in 2015, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established the arbitrary 1.5°C limit on global temperature increase and established the ‘Net Zero by 2050’ policy target for developed countries around the globe.

Professor John Raine: Balancing the climate narrative - The science is not settled

The 23rd July 2025 USA Department of Energy (DoE) Report, “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate” [1], authored by five eminent scientists, at last brings some balance back into official statements on climate change and humankind’s contribution to this. The USA DoE Report reviews the science around how anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions have affected, or will affect, climate in the USA, extreme weather events, and selected metrics of societal wellbeing.

Ian Bradford: Further Evidence Human Are Not Causing Global Warming

Further evidence that human emitted carbon dioxide is not causing global warming and no country will ever reach net zero emissions…

At today’s CO2 concentration in the atmosphere of approximately 420 parts per million, CO2 has little ability to absorb heat and is therefore a weak “greenhouse gas.” Its ability to warm the planet and at higher levels of CO2 is very small. As CO2 concentrations increase, its ability to warm the planet decreases rapidly. This means the common assumption that carbon dioxide is the main driver of climate change is no longer true and is scientifically false. More carbon dioxide cannot cause catastrophic global warming or more extreme weather. Neither can methane or nitrous oxide, the levels of which are so small that they are irrelevant to climate.
