Government Has Just Declared War on Free Speech

Global greening due to increased CO2 has now become so obvious that climate alarmists have started arguing we need to "Save the Deserts"! They just can't admit CO2 has benefits, says Chris Morrison.
Net Zero is a high-cost mitigation strategy that can't possibly be better than adaptation, says David Turver – not least because manmade CO2 is clearly not the climate's main control knob.
The economic case for renewable energy doesn't add up and never has, says Economics Professor Ross McKitrick. But governments love the climate alarm agenda because it involves a relentless expansion of their power.
Net Zero will prevent almost zero warming, three top atmospheric scientists have said – even if it could be achieved. And it will cause untold devastation to human life in the process.
Climate alarm has become a dangerous ideology, says Mike Hulme, Professor of Human Geography at Cambridge University. An obsessive and outsize concern with it is harming human well-being and development.
Climate scientists have hailed the huge boost to global plant growth and food production from the higher levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. "There is a social benefit from more CO2 in the air."
Further scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that the Earth’s atmosphere is 'saturated' with carbon dioxide, meaning that at higher levels the 'greenhouse' gas will not cause temperatures to rise.
On BBC Politics Chris Packham claimed "something called science" is evidence that the recent Dubai flooding was caused by climate change. But there's nothing scientific about the models that 'prove' that, says Paul Sutton.
"CO2 is not a bad gas," says Prof Valentina Zharkova, "the world actually needs more." The climate is instead driven by the Sun, argues the Astrophysicist. "Expect the next 30 years to get colder."
The Net Zero crisis deepens as the Government says it is only planning to build just over a quarter of the carbon capture capacity the Climate Change Committee says is needed to hit the green target.
