He sounds as lame as most Democrats.
He needs to use some energy to iron that shirt.
Oooo….I like her.
I literally said Holy *hit after listening to her. She obviously did her research and instead of only reading the final political statement from the IPCC, she read the underlying (hidden from general public view) documents of their research. I am amazed that there are still journalists capable of getting the details of a story and airing the facts on air.
I like her a lot.
Our Julia is brilliant. She pulls no punches and routinely ridicules these people on her show. Of course they never learn and enthusiastically engage with her at the drop of a hat to trot out their nonsense and get laughed at.
A proper journalist as she takes no prisoners whatever side of the political or social aisle.
One of the most irritating things about leftists and at the same time their greatest weakness, is their absolute certainty in both the rightness of any cause they support and their unshakable belief in their own intellectual superiority.
No doubt all the people who come onto her show are convinced that they are the ones who will “put this woman in her place”.
Smaaack
He got a good slapping that even Google is struggling to find him.
It’s great to see someone get a right hand reality slap in the face, but while their floundering don’t see the left hook coming back at them.
This is what good journalists use to to do all the time.
Yes indeed, he got slapped extremely hard, (I enjoyed it immensely) but unfortunately he did not even flinch an eyelid. His cognitive dissonance was showing and was absolutely astounding.

Julia Hartley-Brewer would have had a more intelligent conversation with the nearest doorknob.
Yes, or a brick wall.
You get an echo from a brick wall.
Dear Luke Murphy managed about three comments out of Griff’s script.
Not sure he’ll take up the invitation to return.
Auto
Yes, but at least it’s an echo of what you said and not someone who is trying to tell you you’re wrong.
About time rational reporters called out climate drivel and isn’t it pouring out of the mouths of the weather worriers with ‘COP this’ on again at present?

Forget cancer just splash the cash and the potential to save the weather doomed is boundless folks! Gaia will reward you in Heaven for freezing in the dark with the windmills and solar panels.
God bless you Julia Hartley-Brewer.
She’ll need a lot of blessing because the knives will be out for her. I imagine there will be a determined effort to get her cancelled.
Julia has been outspoken for years. The public loves her and the knives just can’t penetrate. She’s indestructible.
I certainly hope you are correct. She’s a treasure.
Until the one time when she slips up, and says something that can be taken out of context as a racial or cultural insult, then everyone who currently supports her will run for the hills and pretend that they never knew her.
It’s hard to comprehend how someone like JHB can exist in the UK. And how her clear-headed plain speaking apparently goes thoroughly unheeded. Even by US standards, she is taking a thoroughly skeptical viewpoint that I expect very few conservative politicians would dare to express.
Today I received some literature, including a book with the title “Inconvenient Facts”, from an outfit called “The CO2 Coalition”. I received it as the result of a donation I made to them. It was a well-written book which thoroughly takes on and destroys the climate change fear-mongering about CO2 and describes the extensive benefits of more CO2 in our atmosphere. Plenty of references are provided. I suggest checking in with them.
They are good people, putting out great stuff.
https://co2coalition.org/ but it can be hard navigating.
Will Happer co-founded them and presently Chairs the Board.
Here is latest, on Nitrous Oxide (and fertilizer):

Author Gregory Whitestone has provided numerous articles on these pages ( pen his name in the search bar ) and he has testified before my State Legislature, Pennsylvania, USA about the perils of “Nut-Zero” and the RGGI pact between states and the lawlessness of our Governor.

Peter W and all you positives need to read WUWT daily. Then you would know just how on top of the Science and Policy this website offers. About a contribution to WUWT???
Wrightstone its 05:39AM brain not checking spelling. Read his book I-Facts last year.
Coal was substituted for gas cause a) gas only emits about 1/3 of CO2 and b) gas fired power stations can be started and stoped much faster to supplement unsteady wind and solar. Gas is the vital part of the energy transition.
Now this clown tells us gas is the problem. Interesting.
First they came for nuclear, then coal, now gas.
And all the time, coming for us.
Yes and the clown was trying to say that by installing more wind and solar Putin could not then control Europe by turning off Russian gas .
The UK has plenty of gas but no fracking sense .
Drill and frack any one objecting is quite free to immigrate to Somalia .
Germany and other countries should never have relied on imports of Russian gas to keep their country powered .
That shows how far from reality many politicians have wandered under the influence of climate scare stories .
and most people too..because even in the cold war russia never cut gas
and it didnt this time till refusals to pay in rubles
and that was ONLY because usa and the rest of the idiots slammed SWIFT closures on russias banking abilities
and russia sure did NOT blow its own pipeline up
funny how swedes are refusing to show ANYone the evidence they have on that isnt it?
and NO ONES bothering much to ASK WHY?
Re Germany don’t forget Merkel had an East German past and was spied on for years by the US. No smoke without fire?
Putin has allegedly been funding green initiatives and anti fracking organisations in the UK for years.
The Soviet Union started it, Putin just continued the long tradition.
The whole rise of the Left in the West begins with Russia. And gets taken over by large corporate intersts who see that controlling populations through propaganda is the best way to subvert a democracy, after you have bought all theh politicians on all sides, and bending the agenda away from what matters, towards pointless moral issues.
Always follow the money, and the power. And ignore the words
Not allegedly. And about $100 million. (FBI sources say, tasked with monitoring anti-Fracking Green protest groups.)
‘Gas is the vital part of
theenergytransition“. Together with coal and gas. A “transition” is not requiredThere will be a transition, but not for 500 to 600 years.
Considering the technology in use back in the 13 to 1400’s, I would say that anyone who wants to solve a problem that won’t crop up until at least the year 2700, is a fool.
The new Advanced Super Critical (A-USC) and Steam H coal fired plants can start up from cold in less than 30 minutes. Both they and the older High Efficiency and Low Emissions (HELE) coal plants have nothing like the emissions of old coal plants.
Below is link to 4 part series ‘Coal Power Dying Not So Fast’ by Anton Lang
https://papundits.wordpress.com/2021/05/29/coal-fired-power-dying-not-so-fast-part-one-introduction/
The only problem with starting up in 30 minutes, is that wind and solar can cut out in less than 1 minute.
I think the issue is less with the start up time than how long they take to get to full efficiency.
But here in the Old World, coal is pretty much played out except in Easrern Europe – Poland, Ukraine and Russia mainly.
It’s all very well for the USA to reckon on 100 years of coal and 50 years of oil, we dont have that luxury.
We absolutely need as much nuclear power as possible right now, but what we will get is museum pieces of windmills and pointless solar panels that dont work in winter when we need the energy the most.
Repeat the narrative. Push the mantra. Damn the truth. He really is thick. As a PhD geologist, I am not concerned about a non existent climate crisis. I am concerned about people like him pushing an agenda that will kill billions. Shame on him.
Population control has been an important part of the climate agenda since the beginning of global warming hysteria. see “Where the Global Warming Hoax Was Born: 1975 ‘Endangered Atmosphere’ Conference” , article by Marjorie Mazel-Hecht available online.Bill Gates, now thoroughly consumed by his ego , wealth, and notoriety, has proclaimed that the ideal world population should be-5 billion – we are approaching 9 billion now.. Of course, he also wants to control the climate by reducing the amount of radiation we receive from the sun by spraying some chemical into the atmosphere. It is time for him to go back to his philanthropy and leave us alone..
As much of his ‘philanthropy’ is towards these nuts, I have a preferable suggestion as to where he should go.
Gary,
I wish she had asked him if the sky is still ‘green’ in his neck of the woods!
The problem with Marxist zealots is that they, like Mao and Stalin, see millions of starved and murdered victims as a statistic and not a tragedy! Like Lysenko, the Climastrologists will remain influential until their funding and power base dries up. This winter may be the end for many European ‘Greens!’
It’s the naïveté of these people that astounds me.
It’s the cultish dogmatism that astonishes me. Even when Julia points out the IPCC’s scientific position as opposed to the political documents they produce, he still ploughs on, utterly deaf to the facts of the situation.
She is always very well informed and many politicians refuse to go on her show which is 06.30-10.00 GMT Monday – Thursday. She makes breakfast Radio/TV bearable in the UK for us empiricists.
I she married? Available? Quite a catch for somebody.
I bet she still trumps in her trollies though.
JHB made mincemeat of him.
This interview is the epitome of how religious sycophants conduct a “conversation”.
No matter what realities & incontrovertible facts they are presented with, they will just robotically deliver their religion’s dogma.
These people are dangerous cult members, bent on “saving the world”.
By annihilating all the gains that modern civilisation enjoys, where average life expectancy is now 70+ years, compared to only ~ 30 years just 3 generations ago.
To “fundamentally transform” the world, you have to destroy the existing world first. It seems like Western Civilization and the USA in particular, has drunk the Kool Ade and is well on its way to do precisely that.
Careful with that life expectancy statement. Life expectancy was dramatically affected by infant mortality which has improved immensely over several generations.
Advocacy science operates with very short scripts and talking points and they are not prepared to talk about ipcc science reports, only political and advocacy points.
3:13 Or indeed “home grown” coal.
It grinds my gears when somebody says abc is x times cheaper, when what they presumably mean is that abc is 1/x the price.
And what did he say? _nine_ times cheaper? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.
It’s become ubiquitous over the last ten or fifteen years. It sends shivers up my spine. I’ve seen people whose intellect I greatly respect do it. Then I gave up.
If A costs twice as much as B, is it not appropriate to describe A as twice as expensive as B? While one might best describe B as half as expensive as A, there is some colloquial logic in reversing the adjective instead of inverting the ratio, i.e. B is twice as cheap as A.
That meme of 9 times cheaper has been doing the rounds in UK for a few months now. Don’t know where it came from.
It is entirely fallacious. It is based on notionally bids in 2012 prices by wind farms yet to be built for CFD contracts they will never have to take up at £37.35/MWh (current indexed value about £48/MWh, due for a 10% inflation boost next April) compared with a one day peak gas price traded on futures exchanges, since when prices have fallen by almost two thirds. They always start by omitting the indexation and assuming that current wind farms are the same pricing. Here’s the reality for wind farms on CFD contracts in payment, with those not on CFDs getting at least market price, usually boosted by substantial ROC and REGO subsidies.
Murphy’s Law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”
Was Murphy’s Law written by Luke Murphy? He was certainly fact-challenged in this interview – with his constant spew of false-alarm climate bafflegab – the English term “bollox”.
Bottom Line:
We published the important conclusions to this debate in 2002 and nothing has changed:
The alleged Climate Crisis is a fifty-year-old scam, and “green energy” is not green and does not produce much useful energy.
The Climate scammers have wasted trillions of dollars and millions of lives on fraud.
THE ABYSMAL FAILURE OF THE GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISTS’ PREDICTIVE TRACK RECORD. ”THE LEFT LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING!”
“Rode and Fischbeck, professor of Social & Decision Sciences and Engineering & Public Policy, collected 79 predictions of climate-caused apocalypse going back to the first Earth Day in 1970. With the passage of time, many of these forecasts have since expired; the dates have come and gone uneventfully. In fact, 48 (61%) of the predictions have already expired as of the end of 2020.”
For 60:40 predictions, the odds of being this wrong are 1 in 13 quintillion; for 70:30 predictions, the odds are 1 in 13 septillion. It’s not just climate scientists being randomly mistaken – they must have known they were not telling the truth.

He began by just reading some talking points. I didn’t get far into the video — it’s just so predictable. Good for Julia, but its difficult to listen to these dopes.
…you should actually -watch- the whole interview Kevin; it is amazing to see a ‘true believer’ or perhaps more likely a professional salesman do he work. He is probably not used to people not accepting on face value his speaking points… as he would keep on going even in the face of some real truth.
Yes, she rocks.
He just kept repeating his inane talking points even as she was laughing in his face, the face of a zealot who cannot possibly learn something.
And she is 100% right on renewables until such time as we have the magic batteries and even then we cannot build enough wind and solar to make the attempt.
when they can produce enough energy to smelt metals and process the rest inc the mining for whats used in even ONE turbine or pv setup they might have a case
until then
FOAD
Nor is there ever going to be enough (efficient) space, unless ‘they’ are successful in killing off hundreds of millions.
When the prognosticators live the life they dictate to the rest of us and lead by example then I’ll start to listen.
all the coastal loss damage dramas in Aus?
so today adelaide is allowing 146? expensive new homes to be built right ON the coast line down sth
This guy simply doesn’t seem to know even the basics of climate physics. And NO, the evidence is not clear at all, it’s actually non-existent.
Well done Julia. This guy is just making stuff up.
shes excellent
he came across as thick as a brick
Finally a real news!! Thanks Julia for doing your job and setting the bar for true journalism.
