Even if you're a Londoner, you probably didn’t notice that June 21st-29th was 'London Climate Action Week'. It was all talk, says Ben Pile – exceptionally dull talk, bankrolled by the usual Green Blob billionaires.
Ed Miliband this week announced plans for the UK to become the "sustainable finance capital of the world". What he didn't mention, says Ben Pile, is that green finance is collapsing as investors pull funds in droves.
Britain's warm June brought out the usual heatwave hysterics. It was supposedly "100 times" more likely due to the "climate crisis" and caused 600 deaths, but the numbers don't add up, says Ben Pile.
Ed Miliband is confident he's "winning the fight for Net Zero". His assurance is misplaced, says Ben Pile. It's based on a growth in 'green jobs', but they come at the cost of entire sectors in other parts of the economy.
Sceptics lose all their scepticism when faced with claims the Government could block out the Sun, says Ben Pile. But this is no less a delusion of grandeur than the notion human CO2 emissions are controlling the climate.
Ed Miliband's plan to put solar panels on the roof of almost every new build is bonkers, says Ben Pile. He claims it will save £530 a year. But that ignores the £7k upfront cost and assumes no faults and a perfect roof.
It's reported that Ed Miliband is set to roll back the looming boiler ban as heat pump installations miss their target by nearly 90%. Little wonder, says Ben Pile, when payback time is measured in centuries, if at all.
Keir Starmer is cosying up to the EU just as green politics collapses across the continent. Will it give him the excuse he needs to put Ed Miliband and his Net Zero lunacy out of their misery, asks Ben Pile.
Ed Miliband's Net Zero policies promise renters £240 in savings while landing landlords with five-figure bills – a green stack of lies that will only push rents higher, says Ben Pile.
The Net Zero agenda is collapsing into chaos, says Ben Pile, as soaring energy bills and green spin reveal a costly mess where consumers are left footing the bill.
