The expression ‘fighting like rats in a sack’ barely covers how weather actually WORKS. Expand that thought for a minute, and try to imagine one half of a zoo full of starved animals chasing around trying to eat the other half, all encased in a big elastic balloon. That’s how the Earth’s climate works. A chaos theory.
Now imagine you’ve just paid a whole lot of money to a zoo keeper to tell you where that nice fluffy animal your daughter always likes going to see will be, a week next Thursday, in this big manic bag. The keeper solemnly says he has run his animal management model, and the fluffy one will be inside one of the bigger animals with the nastier teeth, unless…
You clutch your throat. How to explain to the little one? Unless what? Unless you support, with money, and immediately, no time to waste – in fact, it might already be too late – the keeper’s patented new animal feed which is, of course, vegan; and is so beneficial and delicious to the animal kingdom that they will renounce being carnivores ALMOST immediately and fluffy will live to a ripe old age. And he can administer the first of the new feeds to that pesky salivating lion the day before he is due to eat Fluffy. In the model.
You know the deep do-do you will be in with your daughter if she learns you had the chance to save Fluffy, but balked at the idea because it’s expensive, and you don’t quite understand how the keeper will get to the lion in this giant African game-park sized bag full of fighting animals rushing around chaotically. So you ask the keeper.
“Ah!”
He is glad you asked.
“Do you fully understand the chaos theory?”
Well, he can run his mathematical model for you (ker-ching) again, and everything else being equal, if the lion stays over in the far northwest corner of the bag, and Fluffy ignores the surrounding bloodshed and mayhem for a few days then his model can predict exactly where they will both be on Tuesday and the feeding can take place. All will be sweetness and light after that.
There is hope for Fluffy, but you are a bit worried that with all the thousands of animals running around trying to eat each other or trying just as hard not to be eaten, then how can the keeper be sure where things will be on Tuesday?
The keeper stiffens, slightly.
“I’ve carefully modelled the movements of the Lion and Fluffy (where’s Stanley Holloway when you need him?) and can assure you within a certainty of 87.42% that they will be as predicted. Who do I send my invoice to?”
“But what if that large herd of elephants over there, currently smashing their way to the side of the balloon before being bounced back into the melée and treading on several fast-moving creatures on the way, treads on fluffy?”
“I can model that for you too, but it will cost you another computer run.”
“Thanks, but I’m starting to smell a rat – like that one over there being eaten by the hyena. I think I’ll give your predictions a swerve.”
Shrugs.
“Your choice, but I’ve sent my results to your daughter’s school, and she is having Fluffy’s certain fate explained to her as we speak by Mz. Stroppy. I shall have to report that you’re a salvation-denier if you don’t buy my solution.”
“Ok – I don’t need all the grief at the moment what with all the extra taxes to pay for the special vegan animal food – Soylent Green you call it? Made in China?”
“Good choice. If things change I’ll be back with another update offer.”
But back in the REAL world, if this currently insane one can be described as real, how does the above scenario translate to what we see around us and what we are threatened with?
First we must lay to rest the difference between ’weather’ and ‘climate’.
Weather is what we see and feel every day. What we dress to go out in, and what misbehaves when we least need it to.
Climate is weather in a particular area of the globe averaged out over a long period of time. I’m talking hundreds or thousands of years. Currently we have vaguely reliable figures for under 200 years but historical and anecdotal evidence for millennia. Not good enough statistical evidence you would need for a meaningful extrapolation of what has gone before translating into what is coming.
Weather is the animals above fighting in the sack. Some basic rules (big eats smaller), some animals only live in part of the sack. You only get frontal weather à la U.K. away from the equator where the spinning earth brings the Coriolis effect into play. The animals circle each other before attacking along a curving path. Buys Ballot law describes the circling in north and south hemispheres.
The thousands of animals are the atmospheric parameters that interact with each other and end up as being weather. See my previous piece concerning clear air turbulence being caused by air masses rubbing up against each other. Like tectonic plates rubbing and causing earthquakes.
The elastic bag that all the chaotic animals are contained within is called gravity.
According to some, including the film director Christopher Nolan in Interstellar, gravity is the key to everything in the universe. It’s not much talked about in relation to weather/climate, but let’s take a couple of examples. The gravity on Mars is much less than that on Earth. Mars once had a functioning atmosphere with functioning weather but gradually over the eons much of the Mars atmosphere ’leaked’ into space. Not enough gravity to keep it in. The weather on Mars is limited to dust storms probably caused by gravitational influences from its own moons. Our moon has very little gravity and no atmosphere.
So the earth has gravity and fully functioning weather systems. Mars has some gravity but limited ‘weather’. Our moon has little gravity and no weather. This is in effect what the Climate Change activists want. No change in weather. No evolution in climate. A dead planet. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be a little bit pregnant.
We have a living, breathing, eco-system which is constantly changing, but is, as a whole, held in check by the forces of gravity and the dynamic forces of the rotation of the earth. The whole thing is powered by the sun. Everything that lives or moves on Earth does so because of the power from the sun. That’s all there is. El Niño is a major contributor to climatic variations. Big ocean current disturbance off the coast of South America. Probably caused by the sun. An unbalance on that side of the world causing medium term weather changes that have to be balanced elsewhere in the world otherwise our balloon would be permanently lopsided, and the forces of gravity make sure that there is a balance after a bit of pushing and tugging of somebody else’s weather systems. And our so-called fossil fuels are just natural batteries containing power generated by the sun over millions of years, absorbed by the plants of the day, and laid down to be used millions of years later. Why create coal, gas and oil otherwise? You can’t destroy energy. You can only change it. Fossil fuels are the stored energy of the sun. That power has already been unleashed on the earth before man was a dodgy idea in the head of ‘creation’, for want of a more acceptable word. Using them doesn’t create ‘extra’ climate changing energy any more than using battery power creates new electrical energy.
Back to Fluffy & the Lion, barrelling around in their balloon, trying to be the fed and not the food. Bouncing off the sides, avoiding all the other thousands of animals taking part in similar interactions. Ask a modeller to include the instantaneously changing fates of all the animals in their interactions with our pair and then ask said modeller what the state of play will be in two hours time, or two weeks time, or two decades time. THAT’S what a climate change forecast would have to do to be even a bit credible.
The Met Office used to boast about having the biggest Cray supercomputer in the U.K. Every Cray in the world, joined in parallel, couldn’t do that forecast. That’s even if you could agree on parameter design in the first place. Yet every tinpot junk scientist on the BBC approved list can do this, apparently, and wants you to bin your family’s standard of living, not just a bit, but drastically. If you pay them money via the Government, they may be able to help with this transition to misery. Or, when it comes to it, the Government will help with your plight. As long as you do as you’re told.
Watch out for that last bit. It may be the key.

One hundred and fifty Tory MP’s on the Nut Zero take. Presumably when many of these are out of work later this year their bribe monies will switch to their incoming Labour counterparts.
Yep, the new excited batch of excited but useless MPs will soon be on the gravy train and I suspect a fair few of the outgoing lot will keep their snouts in the troff via lobbying of some description.
Oh the Grand Old WEF/ They had 10,000 lackeys/ They marched them up to the top of the COP/ And they marched them down again/ And when they were all signed up/ when the public were all kept down/ All the UN puppet scum, were neither up nor down
Cheers Varmint – class.
Cheers mate. ——-My wife laughed as well.
If you want to be sure of the outcome of an election, you’ll obviously have to buy all candidates which stand a chance to be elected. That’s the way to control a properly tuned demuckcracy: Eliminate voter choice by suitable candidate selection.
If we got the list in advance we might get to see if Reform / UKIP / other small parties have a chance of getting in?
Their Labour counterparts wouldn’t need bribing as they’re completely bonkers already. As for these Conservative nut jobs calling themselves Conservatives in the first place is beyond belief.
This sums it up.
I’m noticing an increase of commenters on MSM sites slowly coming round to the net zero / climate scams. Whether there will be enough to covert the brainwashed or not remains to be seen.
Sadly I reckon that things have got to get a lot worse before enough people think that stopping net zero is a high enough priority to strongly influence how they vote and these traitors are kicked out of power. Amongst the general population I wonder how many people realise they’re paying sky high prices for electricity due to subsidies and green mandates. Similarly when the cost of ICE cars and gas boilers increase massively because manufacturers are paying millions in fines because they can’t sell enough green crap will the majority of people realise why the prices are going through the roof.
And that pretty much sums up what western democracy has become.
Bureaucrats implement the policies of plutocrats and technocrats.
And politicians are responsible for selling it all to the general population.
Any politician who tries to sell a non-approved policy gets nowhere or taken down very quickly.
“Any politician who tries to sell a non-approved policy gets nowhere or taken down very quickly”——-Like Braverman, or Bridgen. ——–The globalist club members don’t want you in their exclusive club
I will never vote conservative again until and unless they unreservedly drop nut zero.
Conservative support for nut zero is not just plain idiotic but now shown to be venal as well.
Net zero is a financial, eco, social and political disaster. EVs are not ‘green’, eco-friendly nor economically rational. Visit a lithium strip mine for more info. Cobalt garnered with black slave labour seems to be fine with these virtue signalling idiots. Hydrocarbons are abiotic and have nothing to do with rocks or fossils.
As the article insinuates you can buy Pharma-ment or Net Zero-ment with about £50 mn. We saw this during Rona.
No surprise that the corrupt criminals in gov’t and the agencies are on the payroll of ‘big climate’.
We simply need to follow the money trails to find the ‘science’.
Yes we know…….But we are letting them away with it. We believe all the crap. We see a storm or a flood on TV and we just assume it is all climate change. ——-or at least most of us do.
People aren’t really assuming it’s all climate change, they keep being told so. This is really just as with COVID, just in slow-motion. The COVID disaster was always supposed to strike next month. The climate disaster next years, so to say.
These MPs are easily paid for. Any politician who drinks the nut zero koolaid avowedly hates their fellow man. We see the impact of nut zero in Africa, likely far more Africans have been killed by the world bank ban on investing in coal power than Jews were murdered by Hitler. The woke slaughter on the green alter goes unnoticed of course. Look how the Washington post celebrated this slaughter:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/07/17/the-world-bank-cuts-off-funding-for-coal-how-much-impact-will-that-have/
I agree. Africa (and other poor countries) have also been used in experiments with vaccines etc. Thank God so much less of Africa had the Covid jab, but they are being made to suffer for it in other ways.
Time to get Rolls Royce to donate a few SMR’s to these countries, make them independent of the West and keep their population at home as a bonus.
People should now realise if they have not done before that we are all being herded like sheep, and the sheepdogs are the globalist pretend to save the planet eco socialists seeking to control all of the world’s wealth and resources and using fear of a manufactured climate crisis to get us all into the pen. The Climate Industrial Complex controls the entire narrative. (The UN, WEF, Politicians, Technocrats, Liberal Progressive Media and Business Stakeholders). Whenever I hear a friend or relative say things like “Well the climate is definitely changing” I feel like shaking them by the lapels. But the power of the climate propaganda they see everyday on their 6 O’clock News leaves them so thoroughly brainwashed that they actually believe they can see global warming from their living room window. When you attempt to get them to see some sense they stare at you like you are from Mars. They ask “So you think you know more than the scientists”? ————-They are unaware that this has nothing to do with science. There can be little hope that the Climate Charlatans will not succeed as the vast majority of people simply refuse to escape from the herd of sheep. They accept losing their fantastic gas central heating, their car, their beef, their holidays, their affordable electricity, and they let the globalists throw them onto their back and sheer all the wool of them.
“Shaking them by the lapels”? Shaking them by the throat, more like!
“But the power of the climate propaganda they see everyday on their 6 O’clock News leaves them so thoroughly brainwashed that they actually believe they can see global warming from their living room window.”
Eloquent and sadly funny:
“global warming from their living room window.”
And that’s the truth of the matter.
Well maybe they should go upstairs and have a look out of their bedroom window for a clearer look. They might be able to see that the Polar Bears are doing just fine
Since I think this everytime I’ms scrolling past it: I absolutely love this picture, although I’m not convinced of the health benefits of Coca-Cola.
Except the Bear isn’t really drinking the cola. The photo is about as realistic as the Polar Bears demise. Whoever heard of an endangered species whose numbers have gone up 5 fold in the last 50 years?
The Coke bottle is obviously there because of its symbolic value as “American way of life” icon the other guys really despise. They’d almost certainly be calling teaching polar bears to drink Cola a cruel and unsual way of furthering their extermination. As always with these Americanisms, I find myself in disagreement with both sides. But I nevertheless really like the picture.
Good point about the cola as symbol of capitalism. And that ties nicely in with the fact that climate change isn’t actually about the climate, and is really an anti capitalist eco socialist agenda with climate as the excuse
But I think many are waking up, perhaps most among what we used to call the ‘working class’. In my experience with Lower Traffic Neighbourhoods (we have just had one installed in our area of south London), many are furious and not complying. They are not just furious about the LTNs, but about ULEZ, the bicycle lanes, the constant road works, the electric car fiasco, etc etc. They definitely see that it is an anti-motorist agenda. There are many more who are seeing all this now, as with the cash versus cashless stuff. We must keep fighting where and when we can.
They are not “green” billionaires, they are grifter billionaires and megalomaniacs
I wonder how many of them are on Mr Epsteins list
Most if not all is my guess.
The big con is persuading people that “climate change” is new, rather than educating them that the climate has never been stable for long. Avoiding investment in things that provide protection against weather related problems and taking the opportunity to blame someone else is on the agenda as well.
Very well put.
It is “climate” that isn’t new. ————-“Climate Change” is new since this actually means changes to climate allegedly caused by humans, and ofcourse it allows for all manner of policies to be put in place, and all manner of rent seekers holding out their hands for money from the western world who caused this manufactured crisis.
“…chaired by London Mayor and fireworks impresario Sadiq Khan” Love it!
One word..Traitors .
They really do not give a toss about the country or us.They all have their noses and more in the corrupt trough.
Retribution is coming !
I hope Retribution comes real soon for these parasites.
We need more psychopaths with access to weaponry. Maybe the yanks could spare a few?
Retribution for them will not come in this world, but one day we all have to face God on Judgement Day!! There, true justice will be dispensed!
I seem to recall UK taxpayers provide funds for WWF which is a charity. They should not be able to join political campaigns.
I hope Reform advertise the strong links between the Tories and these fanatical political campaign groups. As the economy implodes and people shiver following power restrictions their votes will evaporate (or maybe they will boil away).
The Labour and Lib Dem Parties plus SNP/ Greens are all fully onboard with this eco impoverishment crap as well. It just happens to be the tories in government at the moment. —-If anything the impoverishment will happen even faster under those other parasites.
They hate us and everything British. They should be strung up from the nearest tree.
Oh, they absolutely love us. That just want (and work to this end) that we hate ourselves so that our guilty consciences make us part with our money more readily.
That might be working with some in the middle classes, but I don’t think it’s working on here. I hate them more with every article I read, and I don’t feel guilty about anything.
You should lobby your Government officials – invest in an election and buy some politicians.
Another argument for outlaw supraregional electioneering clubs aka political parties. There’s principally nothing wrong with the Grantham Foundation fielding candidates in elections. But these should stand as Grantham Foundation candidates. Some people who very much believe in elected(!!1) would probably be suprised to learn that all of their so-called choices end up as vote for a Grantham Foundation candidate, ie, that they really don’t have a political choice at all, just one for their preferred hairdo.
Many organisations fund both sides, just to hedge their bets and guarantee influence. We need to check who is bankrolling the people we vote for and vote accordingly.
So the choice at election time is really between 2 bunches of pretend to save the planet socialists. ——Take your pick. Perhaps if we all voted for the Monster Loony Party the eco socialists might wake up
We need to cross through the names on our ballot paper and write ‘none of the above’. If enough did that, it might make an impact. I am not hopeful, but we must do something. Actually, I believe that at local councils level is where we could make most impact – I am too old, but younger people should seriously think about becoming independent councillors and start to make a difference (not just protest).
I’m not sure the OMRLP have enough cash to field candidates in all seats, unless you think Reform are one of their branches
The Tories need to be destroyed at the next election. It’s a bit of a stuck record, but this lot really are a shower of sh!t. Fully bought and paid for by Rockefeller and the rest. This is a great article, well written, factual and concise. Just follow the money to see who is in charge of the country. That’s the link that needs to be broken, how politics is paid for. This corruption needs to end. The vast transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich over the last few years is being weaponised to keep the poor in check. To take away genuine democratic choices.
I’m not voting for these globalist puppets anymore. They can all crash and burn as far as I am concerned. I will no longer comply!
This is not a problem limited to Tories. It seems like most MP’s are in the pay of people, or groups pushing their agenda’s and a few ‘donations’ is all it takes to get a change of policy, or vary voting intentions. We quite literally have the best parliament money can buy.
See if your MP is a supporter of the conservative Environment Network. Mine is and I have written to lambast him about it. The more that we harass the better!

Thank you, Chris. Superb reporting and analysis. Again.
I told my super marginal Tory MP (Felicity Buchan, who had a majority of 150 votes) that her membership of CEN guarantees I’m voting Reform.
The not-Conservative Party needs to burn to ash next general election if we’re going to have any chance whatsoever of getting an actual small-c conservative party worth voting for in the election after next.
I would say a good half of my family and friends usually vote Tory. Asking them now I can’t find a single one who is going to turn out for them. They seam to assume its not going to be as bad as predicted. I think that they are wrong, they will be ash.
Voting Reform won’t help anyone since they don’t stand a chance – it just gives more votes to Labour and we’ll have an even more appalling lot under Keir Starmer (of the Trilateral Commission). You need to put a cross through your ballot paper and write ‘None of the above’. But it’s important to go to vote and do this, otherwise they’ll simply say that non-voters don’t care or are too lazy or apathetic to vote.
At least voting reform means you are voting for a candidate, spoiling your ballot won’t change who get’s in, it just decreases the vote. It would need a large number of spoilers (who would all be voting for the same candidate normally) in your constituency to change the outcome.
But I don’t want to vote for Reform!! I don’t trust them any more than the other parties. I believe, for instance, that Richard Tice no more stood up against the Covid jabs than any of the other politicians. In any case, our area is a Labour stronghold and it is extremely unlikely that that will change.
And here’s the massive impact that Ed “The Moron” Miliband’s “Climate Change Act (Destruction of the Economy)” of 2008 has had on global emissions.
F….ing W…ker. ——–Remember Miliband gave us the climate change act but a tory (Teresa May) gave us the net zero amendment to that in 2019——-So we can see there isn’t much difference between a piece of crap like Miliband and a so called tory.
The dirty Tory Traitors are being bribed to trash our country. Pure filth.
What a nest of vipers! I will have no regrets about the Tories losing an election. However, Starmer and his equally awful brood will be as bad if not worse over Net Zero, so we’re in a cleft stick. As I’ve replied to someone below, our only option is to cross through all the names on our ballot paper at a GE and write ‘none of the above’. But we must go to vote so that ‘they’ can’t say we didn’t care.
Thank you, Chris, for consistently excellent articles in the DS.
