Net Zero “Harms Human Lives”, Trump’s Envoy Warns Starmer

by Will Jones
24 April 2025 7:00 PM

Net Zero policies “harm human lives” and undermine “health, wealth and opportunity”, Donald Trump’s trade envoy Tommy Joyce has told Keir Starmer in an attack on Labour’s radical anti-hydrocarbon energy policy. The Telegraph has more.

Tommy Joyce, America’s Assistant Energy Secretary, told a conference in London set to be attended by the Prime Minister and opened by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband that climate zealotry is a threat to economic and national security.

“There is no national or economic security without energy security, and energy security is not possible without access to secure, affordable and reliable access to energy,” he said.

“Unfortunately, the focus during the last [US] administration was on climate politics and policies leading to that scarcity. These policies have been embraced by many, not just the United States, and harm human lives.”

His warning came after Mr Miliband opened the summit with a declaration that “home-grown, low-carbon power is our nationally chosen route to energy security”, warning that reliance on gas cost Britain dearly when international prices surged following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Mr Joyce highlighted America’s exports of liquefied natural gas to countries including the UK and stressed the importance of cheap energy to prosperity.

He said: “Energy is essential to absolutely everything that we do. It’s the one industry that undergirds all of the others we know.

“A highly energised society raises people out of poverty and brings health, wealth and opportunity, wherever it’s found in abundance. When and where their energy is scarce or restricted, humans suffer.”

Mr Joyce also stressed the dangers of depending on China for the rare earth metals used in wind turbines, warning against “trading one form of dependency for another, putting abstract emissions goals – in the interest of our adversaries – first, and the security of our people last”.

Worth reading in full.

I suppose the good news from this is that at least some sheep awake, at least a little.
Bad news – just shows how deep the malign influence of TRPTB really is.
Surely the European Parliament members must be primarily concerned with the safety of the gene altering jabs – yet I see no evidence of it.
Just a little digging brings up science like this –

After reading that, nobody in their right mind would have the jab or force it anyone else.
But they have and are intent on forcing even kids to have it.
Beyond evil.

I am horrified after reading this that TPTB are still insisting on jabbing people.

In my view give it a two to three years and all the medical services throughout the world will be overwhelmed with problems that will be related to these jabs.

Bloody scary times we are living in.

Sometimes I think they have overplayed their hand, and that the last two and a half years mark the beginning of a great awakening to the fact that people in power (“elected” or otherwise) really are not there because they want to make the world a better place for anyone other than themselves.

But I ain’t holding my breath.

I would bet most people would be against the oil and gas sanctions on Russia that sre leading to price hikes, if they asked.

The western world is a bastion of freedom and democracy though. It gets that status by achieving the highly ambitious goal of being marginally better than “other ]places”.

Won’t be using it, won’t be getting the jab and won’t be wearing a mask.

I don’t know where that will get me, but I have made my peace with it and I will accept the consequences.

The EU has been planning vaccine passports for years. They aren’t going to meekly give it up just because it’s unpopular with the peasants.

Vaccine passport scheme?the same vaccines that are 100 ineffective and safe causing serious adverse events and deaths? Cdc VAERS 1.2 million adverse events, 28,000 deaths. Underreporting factor up to 41.

The EU jab passport expires in June 2023 but in May 2023, the Etias visa waiver scheme will be introduced for travellers to Europe. Online applicants have to submit passport and health details – no doubt, jab status will be required – and travel permission can be denied / rescinded dependant on some health circumstances.

More monitoring and surveillance of the public.
