The Green Con Exposed

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

Great analysis by the Mogg. It’s a shame he was not exposing this years ago, when May, Johnson and Sunak were in power:

Yabut, the Climate Liars will argue, he’s forgetting the huge costs, not to mention human misery being created by the “climate crisis”, which is a direct result of our use of hydrocarbons. Once you add those (fake) costs onto the use of hydrocarbons, that’s where you get “cheaper” so-called “green” energy. “Saving the planet” is the Climate and Energy Liar’s trump card.

So what they need to do (or have done) is to artificially increase the price (cost) of natural gas so that expensive renewables appear to be cheaper.

True, the alarmists have successfully duped a huge fraction of the population into believing that “too much CO2” is causing dangerous global warming (when the only actual climate dangers are global cooling and CO2 starvation), but even that success does not support their hatred of nuclear-electric generation.

All western countries should be doing massive nuclear electric build-outs, and the third world too.

That the alarmists reject this CO2 minimizing answer proves that they aren’t actually concerned about CO2 at all, but are just using it as an excuse to try to shut down human progress and prosperity.

They are antihuman lunatics and economic illiterates who hold a religious belief that human economic growth is gobbling up the planet, so that to save the planet, they think they have to greatly cut back humanity.

They can only hold these views because they don’t have any idea what economic growth actually is. Growth comes primarily from technological advance, which allows us to do more with less, and have more of everything we value, including the health of our biosphere.

Where does technological growth come from? It comes from people. The best thing anyone can do for the environment, to “save the planet,” is to have children.

People are not the problem, we are the answer.

This is the fundamental divide, and I love the issue of nuclear electric generation because it exposes that this is the divide.

The only way that any anybody can be against nuclear is if they believe that people are the problem, and they despise nuclear power because of empowers the human race that they hate.

“Cheap nuclear energy would be like giving a machine gun to an idiot,” is how the antihuman monstrosity Paul Erlich put it, and his two neo-Malthusian cohorts from Stanford, Stephen Schneider and John Holdren, we’re only pretending to be climate scientists, when what they were actually doing was Ehrlich’s really, really, bad economics.

That is the mess we are in, and the nuclear generation issue is a great way to expose it.

So it’s too bad Mogg skipped that, but otherwise a nice little presentation.

The grip of the ‘climate orthodoxy’ is so great that the common denominator in all the voices speaking out is they are retired or no longer in the position they dare not risk at the time.

Svensmark has an interesting presentation on Tom Nelson’s pod, he has just been unceremoniously booted out of his university and in a science sector awash with grants, he can’t get any funding to continue his work – which as the presentation shows is building up empirical evidence. I guess that makes it self-explanatory.

And so our Jacob is rather late to the party, but he is to be commended for adding his voice.

Why will politicians and the mainstream media never engage in a discussion querying how Net Zero or De-carbonisation helps the planet? Of course it doesn’t, Carbon Dioxide is essential to life and harmless.  By far the most prolific greenhouse gases are clouds and water vapour over which we have no control. The demonisation of fossil fuels is an invention by global power brokers to cause panic use of renewables and line their own pockets at our expense. Climate Change is real and mostly caused by the sun’s activity, but it is NOT man-made.

There is absolutely new in anything The Mog is saying. Those of us blessed with common sense and now wedded to a political storyline or vested interest have been saying for the past thirty years the green ideology is flawed and completely wrong.
We must never allow the advocates for our current impoverishment to side step their responsibility in our desperately bleak situation.
It was the Tory party of The Mog that blew up with glee our coal fired power stations and it was the Tory PM Theresa May who signed Net Zero into law.
The Greens were the poster Party for this nonsense policy of Net Zero but it was the virtue signalling mainstream political parties that implemented the lunacy.
Now we are at rock bottom in our economic well being at rock bottom in our security and at rock bottom in our manufacturing capacity some of those who promoted this nonsense are revealing the facts.
How much better for everyone would it have been if they had not denigrated and condemned those of us who pointed out the stupidity of Net Zero in the first place and stuck with real engineering and real energy options that work?

 if they had not denigrated and condemned those of us 

They still do. The level of freak-out is off the charts

Next time the weather gives the UK 61 days without rain and we wonder idly if this is the end, there is a term we may whistle up to soothe us. Like murmuring the rosary, or putting our fingers in our ears and humming, this phrase is to be mumbled on repeat – “the Kardashev scale, the Kardashev scale” – a buzzy concept in tech, much favoured by Elon Musk, and precisely the thing we’ve been waiting for. The Kardashev scale is the answer both to our impending doom and our anxiety around it – and if we decide to believe in it, we won’t have to give the climate crisis a single thought until the last drip falls from the tap.

This expert journalist might have managed one climate period of 30 years, but she is totally ignorant of what went before, like being asked by the government to bathe with a friend etc….

It is not a coincidence that the same people that support Net Zero also support uncontrolled immigration, uncontrolled welfare spending, Socialism/Communism, destruction of age old morals, family values and the acceptance of crimes committed by these immigrants. This is happening throughout every Western nation. It is all part of the plan by the globalists to destroy all Western nations and replace them with one Totalitarian government.

Voting implies making a choice. While she may be allowed to exercise the right to vote, if she is so ignorant that she doesn’t understand the issues then she isn’t really voting. She is just going through the motions.

A new trend that I have noticed, the same people who would be aghast at encoding Biblical principles into the law, have no problem adding Sharia law to the legal code.

El-Sayed, who is the Democrat nominee for the US Senate recently declared that opposition to Sharia law is another form of White Nationalism. And most leading Democrats are lining up to agree with him.

I dispute the term ‘intelligence’ where SIS(MI6) and MI5 are concerned.

One of their (MI6) operatives turned up (brown bread – dead) in an externally padlocked sports bag in a bath in Pimlico, London. We were expected to believe as per their narrative that it was a weird suicide…

Experts slam Scotland Yard ‘whitewash’ after it sensationally CLOSES case and claims MI6 agent locked himself in holdall and died alone.
Peter Faulding, a world-leading confined space rescue and forensic search specialist who tried 300 times to get in the same sized bag and helped The Met with their original 2010 probe, is clear in his belief: Gareth was murdered.  Daily Mail

Implicit in the demands from progressives is that they think they are smarter than generations of our ancestors who shaped our culture and financial models with the moral values, customs, and laws they established. It is the ultimate hubris and rebellion against parents that are exhibited by teenagers who haven’t grown up.

Jacob has always been skeptical. I have been watching him on GB News since he started. GB News hardly ever gives a platform to skeptics, so Jacob was arguing with believers, but in the beginning he didn’t have enough education to take them on properly. He has improved greatly and now gives the alarmists a good argument. Lets hope he continues his education and gets skeptics on his program too. Kathryn Porter would be a good choice.

The Green Con Continues! Wind and solar have added to the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, and CO2 wasn’t a problem in the first place. Mogg is still delusional, bemoaning the inevitable failure to meet pointless net zero commitments.

Two comments. 1. What good does “de-carbonisation” do ? 2. 90% of greenhouse gases consist of clouds and water vapour. Man made carbon dioxide is just 0.04% and has an insignificant effect on the climate. Variation in the activity of the sun has the major effect on climate about which we can do nothing. Hence Net Zero is a massive and costly sham.

The earth is thermodynamically an open system and as such any reference to a greenhouse (closed system) is inaccurate.

H20 molecules are indeed much more energetically interactive with electro magnetic fields than CO2 and outnumber the innocent by 10x to 500x,

Furthermore H20 phase change from liquid to solid is a major reason clouds are so effective.
