The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.
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.
Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson has become a shill for the Green Blob. But his claim that 'misinformation' is suppressing sales of EVs, rather than poor word-of-mouth, doesn't hold water, says Ben Pile.
'Israeli bombing has destroyed thousands of buildings, many of which were roofed with solar panels,' ran the ridiculous Al Jazeera headline. Is Carbon Libel the new Blood Libel, asks Steven Tucker.
Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.
From the 3,200 acre solar farm built on prime green belt farmland in Oxford to the 16 million Scottish trees felled to make way for wind farms, somehow we have to save the environment from the greens, says Alan Bunce.
Eugyppius delivers a scathing takedown of Germany's latest climate policy drama, where even weekend driving bans are on the table.
In 15 out of 16 applications of plastic covering 90% of global volume, the alternatives actually produced more greenhouse gases, according to a new science paper. Talk about an inconvenient conclusion.
The ozone hole scare of the 1980s and the banning of CFCs was the template for the subsequent alarm promoting Net Zero. Yet the ozone hole is now back as large as ever, even after a 35-year CFC ban.
Scientists are modelling climate change on made-up alien planets and mainstream science media are promoting this nonsense to push the alarmist agenda.
