1. Carbon dioxide (CO2) does not cause global
warming.
2. There is no evidence that it does.
3. It has never been shown by replicable scientific
experiment that CO2 traps heat, either infra-red or any other
wavelength.
4. Heatwaves, floods and hurricanes are localised weather
events. They have occurred throughout history and are not getting more
frequent or more severe. They cannot be proved to be caused by CO2 so
they are not evidence.
5. Carbon dioxide is an invisible gas. Almost all of it in
the atmosphere is natural. It is breathed out by humans and animals and
absorbed by plants and trees which would die without it. It is also absorbed
and outgassed by the oceans.
6. The volume of CO2 in the atmosphere is
approximately 420 parts per million, 0.04 per cent. Of this the whole of
mankind’s amount from fossil fuel burning is one hundredth of 1 per cent
7. Of this one hundredth of 1 per cent Britain produces
about 1.5 per cent.
8. If the whole world stopped emitting CO2, would
that infinitesimally small reduction in the atmosphere’s CO2 have
any effect on the climate? Of course not.
9. Planet Earth has not warmed at all in the last ten
years; shown by satellite and balloon data (the most accurate measures).
10. Sea levels are not rising at any faster rate than they
have for the past hundred years – approximately 3 millimetres per year.
11. Polar ice is not reducing, it just fluctuates around an
average which has not changed in millennia. It has recently been discovered
that Antarctic sea ice has gained 661 gigatons over the past decade.
12. Coral is not suffering: for example the Great Barrier
Reef is the strongest and healthiest it has been for many years.
13. CO2 is actually greening the planet.
14. Mankind has always adapted to varying temperatures, with
habitation flourishing from frozen Alaska to tropical Singapore.
The terrible consequences of Net Zero
15. All our beautiful views and landscapes despoiled by
thousands of wind turbines which kill birds and bats and produce on average
only 23 per cent of their nameplate capacity.
16. Thousands of hectares of solar panels which remove land
from food production and produce no electricity from dusk to dawn and almost
none on cloudy days. So, largely useless in the British climate.
17. The country smothered in a vast spider’s web of power
lines and thousands of pylons distributing the electricity from dispersed
wind and solar farms.
18. Large lithium battery farms in many places which will
provide backup electricity for just a few minutes.
19. Thousands of people in the power-generating industry and
its supporting industries rendered jobless, while just a handful are needed
to service wind and solar farms.
20. No aeroplanes flying anywhere. No business or holiday air
travel, nor air freight.
21. Very little road travel because the limited and
intermittent supply of electricity will make recharging electric vehicle
batteries slow and costly.
22. Frequent blackouts lasting hours, especially during wind
droughts and sunless days.
23. Food shortages because battery-powered tractors will
never be viable and food imports will have to be transported by wind-powered
ships. (Picture large sailing ships without diesel engines being tugged into
jetties by rowing boats).
24. All of the above while computer use soars for data
mining, storage and transmission, and server farms gobble ever more
electricity to run and to be kept cool.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and all
other so-called climate science organisations including the Met Office, the
International Energy Agency and the Grantham Institute use selective data,
spurious data, falsified data (outright lies) and garbage-in-garbage-out
computer models to scare gullible politicians and the public about a
non-existent impending climate catastrophe. They also, wickedly, prevent any
sceptical or dissenting views, or empirical data which demolishes their
claims, from being published or aired.
The mainstream media gleefully parrot it all.
Many so-called pundits would have us believe that batteries,
hydrogen and biofuels will power the West into a fossil-fuel-free future;
the ‘technology will solve all the problems’ mantra. Yet lithium batteries
have been around for 30 years and have yet to be superseded by any better
storage method. Green hydrogen requires around 30 per cent more electricity
to produce than it generates when burned, is very low power-density and
suffers from huge problems (and power consumption) to liquefy, store,
transport (existing gas pipelines cannot be used because the hydrogen atom
is so small it would escape), and regasify for burning in vehicles.
Man-made global warming fearmongering is a hoax, a scam, a
fraud.
Come on, politicians and world leaders! Open your eyes and
ears and apply common sense and leadership to provide reliable, affordable
electricity which has, since the Industrial Revolution, been the sole source
of the West’s wealth, health and quality of life.
Stop issuing permits for wind and solar farms; cancel
existing permits which have not yet been started; incentivise coal mining,
oil and gas exploration, fracking and the building of coal-fired power
stations.
