Earlier this week the Labour backbencher and Chairman of the U.K. Parliament’s Energy Committee Bill Esterson noted that people will have to adjust their habits to meet Net Zero emission goals for 2030. Such honesty, emerging as it does from the Parliament of Net Zero nodding donkeys, is to be applauded. As far as it goes. Try a 30% reduction in energy demand. After 2030, consider that all beef, lamb and dairy will be banned and “replaced by new diets”. Then there is a massive 45% cut in most common building materials such as cement, along with a similar reduction in road freight traffic. The attack on farming will be remorseless with fertiliser restriction halving “direct emission” from the soil. To sum up: widespread rationing and blackouts along with food, holiday and travel restrictions, all within about 60 months.
Look at what they fund and write and whom they consult, not what they say, is the best advice to counter all the whoppers that are being told about Net Zero. Sir Keir Starmer’s statement at the recent COP29 that he didn’t want to tell people how to live their lives can only be explained by noting it came from a British Prime Minister who has difficulty telling a woman from a man. Thankfully we have the Government-funded U.K. FIRES project to give us an honest heads-up on the near-term implications of Net Zero. All of the substantial reductions in energy, food and industrial materials mentioned above arise from its “pragmatic approach”. Its evidence-based conclusions rely on technologies that are available today. It excludes processes such as carbon capture and hydrogen that have yet to be proven at meaningful scale.
Its conclusions warm the hearts of the most committed green ideologues. Its reports also happen to be the most honest representation of the horrors that await if the Net Zero fantasy ever becomes a reality.
By 2028 a total of seven million heat pumps will need to be installed and massive retrofits undertaken in domestic homes. Meanwhile, all rented and non-domestic properties will need to be EPC A rated by 2030. The desire to “manage land use for Net Zero emissions” means a massive cut in chemical fertilisers, so expect food supply to fall off a cliff.
U.K. FIRES notes, correctly, that there is “insufficient time for the planning, development and construction of new large-scale infrastructure to contribute to the 2030 target”. Again correctly, it is observed that increased use of wind and solar power creates a problem with intermittency. “Eventually, this must be addressed by either demand-shifting or storage,” it states. Storage at scale is more or less impossible with current technology, and another word for “demand-shifting” is rationing. To enforce these consumption restraints across the broad range of modern industrial lifestyles, a “whole society” approach must be mobilised.
U.K. FIRES received a £5 million grant from the British Government and its warnings – or should that be wishes – about 2030 are contained in a report called ‘Minus 45’ prepared ahead of the Glasgow COP26 in 2021. It is based on a U.K. Government promise to reduce carbon emissions by 45% from 2018 to 2030. Its recommendations are relevant today, not least because Starmer tried to curry favour at the recent COP29 in Baku by promising to reduce emissions further.
That would be the COP29 conference that made great progress in destroying the system of bribes paid out as so-called climate aid to developing countries to stop them developing with the aid of hydrocarbons. Nobody knows who will pay for a promised £1.3 trillion a year by 2035, not least because President Trump will sweep away any American commitment with a stroke of the executive pen come January 20th. Helpfully, if anyone cares enough to move from lip service to actual action, creative climate accounting is still possible. A requirement to ban the construction of coal-fired power stations was removed from an early draft and it failed to make it into the final communiqué. This will no doubt please the Japanese who backed the building of the Matarbari ultra-supercritical coal-fired power station in Bangladesh on the grounds that it used Japanese technology to generate more energy with less coal. At COP29, diplomacy was “truly the art of agreeing to nothing”, notes David Wojick from CFACT.
The shamble at COP demonstrates that the world is moving away from the idea that hydrocarbons can be removed from a modern economy. But an accident of recent electoral politics has left Britain with a fanatical Government of Net Zero zealots. The anti-working class Labour party was returned to power with a popular vote count less than its losing Marxist leader obtained in 2019. The U.K. FIRES work demonstrates what lies in store. A resurgent America bounding ahead on cheap energy and unleashed entrepreneurial spirits will contrast with its European allies shutting down industrial manufacturing in pursuit of an increasing unpopular state-mandated doomsday cult.

Of course there will be no mention if he had the jab or not, which I find disgraceful in professional athletes actually because I feel they have a moral obligation to warn others by highlighting their jab status. And let’s be honest, if he or other athletes didn’t have the jab then I think they’d be pretty quick at mentioning that. Their silence and evasiveness gives the game away.
This chap is a scientist who has written a very useful article where he describes the differences between how our bodies handle the RNA from the Covid virus vs the modified RNA from the jabs;
”Spike protein is well known to represent a poison for our body.
In the case of natural infection, our immune system will prevent the virus from infecting our body cells by neutralizing it via specific antibodies, with the possibility of cross-immunity being effective also against virus variants.
With the modRNA injection, our immune system does not have a chance to prevent the lipid nanoparticles from transferring modRNA into our cells—all cells, not just some cells with the appropriate receptor for binding of the virus (as would be the case in natural infection).
Injected modRNA can result in thrombosis followed by stroke, myocardial infarction, or pulmonary embolism and can promote the formation of blood clots inside blood vessels.
Studying the open-access databases—including those in the United States, Europe, and the UK—on COVID-19 vaccine adverse effects, one can see that these risks have become real-life side effects for people who received the COVID-19 injections.”

mRNA – messenger ribonucleic acid
Don’t think you read the article did you?
”The two—mRNA and modRNA—are completely different.
mRNA occurs naturally, lives in our cells for only a short time, and is relatively fragile. It is a specific type of RNA that carries instructions or “messages” from our genes to help make proteins, the building blocks of our cells. It is constantly produced as part of normal cellular processes. Once mRNA delivers the messages, its work is done, and it is broken down in the body.
When RNA from another source enters our cells—virus RNA, for example—these cells can generate virus proteins.
We have been told that COVID-19 injections are made with mRNA. However, a vaccine using “natural” mRNA would not last long enough to initiate an immune response before being destroyed by our immune system.
To make mRNA useful for routine medicine, scientists had to artificially modify mRNA to increase both its efficiency and lifetime. The result: modRNA.
modRNA has been optimized for long life and maximal translation. While mRNA exhibits a cell-specific expression pattern, modRNA can invade nearly every cell type.”
I wonder whether teams were ‘vaccinated’ at the same time? If so, we should see more examples of multiple injuries within single teams, given what we know about the variability of toxicity between batches and brands. I’m guessing this poor chap is a Moderna victim.
But don’t worry. UK parents can earn £1500 quid by putting their kids into new jab trials. Myocarditis isn’t even mentioned. Roll up, roll up.
See it as Darwinism in Action.
It was almost comical at the start of the 2020/21 football season, so many protracted stoppages for heart problems either on the pitch or in the stands. Eriksen & Robert Fleck some to mind in addition to many others. Was it Trevor Sinclair who got into trouble for mentioning it?
It was John, not Robert, Fleck of Sheffield United. Collapsed on the pitch against Millwall if my memory serves.
He’s still in the squad but far from the player he was.
Micro clots, undeniably jab caused, are the less serious ie no death problem, which make all athletes who had the jabs more injury prone. Just look at the Prem. and EFL injury lists for the last two seasons compared to normal.
May well account for Liverpool’s bad season last year.
Klopp, the manager thereof, announced he would never sign an unjabbed player – and that the unjabbed were on a par with drunk drivers. What a lovely man.
Maybe that was why Sadio Mane left…
Add Sergio Aguero to the list.
To self.
No high profile football player will ever be mRNA jabbed again, despite the efforts of Sir Patrick Vallance.The clubs know, but Omerta rules.
It was against Reading. In addition, there’s been at least one stoppage during a game at Reading while a fan received treatment for a medical incident. Further an ex player, Shaka Hislop, collapsed recently while being interviewed pitch side.
Thanks. I knew it was somewhere down south.
Smelling the coffee yet, Toby?
He wouldn’t smell it if he was buried up to his neck in it.
About a week ago an 18 year old member of Columbia’s women’s world cup team collapsed with heart problems during training. Fortunately she seems to be OK after being rushed to hospital. Is anyone compiling a list of super fit professional sportspeople suddenly collapsing or otherwise suffering from heart related problems?
She collapsed again during a match. I’m not a doctor, but I would say she is not OK and should not be playing.
Matt le Tissier was discussing and trying to get a proper investigation into this months ago and after quite a bit of effort on his part drawing attention to athletes and footballers who experienced heart problems after covid vaccination, he was shut down and none of the mainstream media would report on what he was saying and actively tried to censor the information he tried to make us aware of. It seems to me our politicians and journalists are being controlled by big pharmaceutical companies. In addition to the vaccine problems, how pharmaceutical companies are exerting their evil influence needs to be investigated.
