Rishi Sunak has performed his first U-turn and said he will now attend COP27, having previously said he was too busy. He also repeated the eco-fantasist mantra: "There is no prosperity without action on climate change."
Before COP26, the UK announced a ban on new petrol and diesel cars in 2030, hoping to inspire others. But no other country went along with inflicting this policy on its population. It's not hard to see why.
Was COP26, with its off-the-charts levels of hypocrisy, the high water mark of climate alarmism? Or will another set of apocalyptic predictions be swallowed wholesale by our credulous elites?
The Chinese Government has infiltrated and seized control of Western environmental institutions to ensure that Beijing is untouched by criticism and demands to phase out fossil fuels.
In this week's London Calling, the topics under discussion are the COP26 coal deal, the taxi driver who thwarted the suicide bomber and John Cleese's free speech victory at the Cambridge Union.
We're publishing a guest post today by Chris Morrison about the opportunistic way in which ambitious politicians, self-described 'scientists' and rent-seeking industrialists have leapt on the climate change bandwagon.
World Nuclear Association Senior Adviser Ian Hore-Lacy writes about the nonsense of blaming climate change for every unusual weather event, and asks what will happen to heavy industry as CO2 emissions are slashed.
We're publishing guest post on the Daily Sceptic by journalist Chris Morrison looking at recent paper by the physicist Nicola Scafetta. Professor Scafetta's research suggests the main climate models aren't fit for purpose.
Almost an hour's worth of seditious ridicule of COP26, including a pop quiz about who is the biggest climate change hypocrite of the week. Joe Biden is in the top three, not least because his armoured car does 8 mpg.
If hypocrisy were a type of fuel, the 20,000 attendees at Cop26 in Glasgow would have solved the climate crisis at a stroke.
