The BBC frets in a similar vein, though this time they are more cautious about linking perfectly normal British winter weather to an imagined ‘climate crisis’:
You didn’t mention the Met Office which lies blatantly to allege that the “more intense” storms the UK is allegedly experiencing is due to “climate change”, aka man-made global warming. Paul Homewood does a great job of exposing their lies, ending with “It is time that the Met Office’s climate change work was defunded, and the organisation returned to its proud tradition as a Meteorological Office”: https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2024/01/22/met-office-lie-about-more-intense-storms/.
Despite all the establishment clamour, there is no empirical evidence that man-made CO2 emissions have any discernible impact on the global climate. This means there is no need and no point in trying to reduce man-made CO2 emissions, notwithstanding the massive, all-pervasive efforts being wasted on this futile endeavour. The warming potential of atmospheric CO2 is already almost fully saturated (used up), as Professors Happer, Lindzen and many others have explained umpteen times, e.g. here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2nhssPW77I&t=2s.
The reason our treasonous Uniparty politicians push the Net Zero agenda supported by the likes of the bought-and-paid-for BBC, the Met Office and the CCC has nothing to do with climate. They are doing it at the behest of their Malthusian globalist overlords and paymasters to shackle and control the global populace through impoverishment, deindustrialisation, food deprivation and depopulation. Slowly but surely, more and more of the general public are coming to understand this.
Climate alarmists are living in cloud-cuckoo land to believe that unilateral UK Net Zero to eliminate our 0.8% share of global CO2 emissions, which they have no hope of ever achieving, will be a magic fix to their imaginary climate problems. Any Net Zero deindustrialising and industry offshoring in the UK will be taken up by China, India, the Far East et al. They are more than happy to take our business and clearly have no intention of following suit with the West in committing Net Zero economic suicide: https://twitter.com/latimeralder/status/1738826623242174670?t=5zlMlAXXNuqLvRO2541aTg&s=19.
The pathetic, anti-science climate alarmists have also got their “more intense” storms fearmongering due to man-made global warming precisely “@rse about face”. It is a matter of historical fact that UK storms in the time of The Little Age were far worse than today for the obvious reason explained in the following. This has been well recorded by meteorologist the late HH Lamb and documented by Paul Homewood here: https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/?s=HH+Lamb.
Further to the Daily Sceptic article on the false Net Zero advice given to parliament by the Climate Change Committee, Paul Homewood has a great guest post which ends “ … Stark, together with the Chairman of the Climate Change Committee, should be brought before a full committee of enquiry to answer for his lies, and if found guilty of intentionally misleading Parliament, he should be sent to prison”: https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2024/01/23/the-ccc-must-pay-the-penalty-for-false-advice/.
Forgive me if I've already posted this but my youngest brother teaches geology at an American college. He studies paleoclimate, has worked all over the world. He says: "we're living in a cold, barren climate right now. And the best minds know that."
Remember the former director of NASA during the Obama administration. He was fired for saying simply, "How do we know that this is the ideal climate for this planet? We could be living in an anomaly, and we wouldn't even know."
Some pointy head guy here on Substack was challenging people to a climate change debate. I asked him two simple questions, and he never even responded.
I said, "It's been many degrees hotter, and colder than it is now, yet we [humans] are still here. So, what is the ideal average global temperature? How will we know when the average global temperature is 'correct?'"
I think what's going on is not so much a WEF conspiracy as the fallout from widespread atheism. Man is made to worship his Creator God. When we tell ourselves there is no God the inbuilt desire for virtue starts to make us worship creatures such as "The Climate". People love to laugh at the granting of indulgences by the Catholic Church, whereby virtuous acts done with the intention of reparation, gained indulgences by which the stains of sin were mitigated and its wages lessened. Now what we have are "carbon credits", modern day indulgences by which one can repair for his sins against the Great Climate God and the Great Mother Earth Goddess. You notice we don't hear quite so much blather about "Gaia", "Mother Nature", "The Planet"? Now we're busy prostrating ourselves in front of "The Climate". I hate to try to imagine what's up next in the Pantheon and what stupidity will be required to pacify it.
That gets to something me and my sister once disused.
Christians let the whole "be good stewards of the earth, and animals and whatnot" slip by the wayside. Then what happened? Leftists came in and filled the void.
Of course, the leftists were not interested in the environment, animals, or any of that. They used the issue of pollution to gain more power.
I'm sure there are people who are very seriously worried about the environment and CO2, but they aren't at the top of these movements, they're the useful idiots.
Those at the top don't care anymore than the catholic priests getting the indulgence cash/gold. Then you also have the whole purgatory issue as well, you could pay your way out of that as well, but that's a whole other issue.
The answer is simple, those at the top of the environmental movement are not interested in solutions. Nuclear power is the solution to their largest "concerns," and yet they are rabidly against it.
Well I am a Roman Catholic and I can tell you the Catholic Church does teach respect for the other natural creatures, and teaches that conservation out of respect for what God has created is totally moral behavior.
I'm also a conservationist (not an "environmentalist") and try to live so I don't cause needless destruction of non human life.
But your point about the leftists not truly giving a care about what they claim to be defending is probably valid. It's about control... And pandering to their need to feel virtuous, when at the same time they've destroyed any reason to care at all.
It's just stupid isn't it. Statistically, over many years, I think you will find that there has been no increase in storminess in the British Isles, but there are periods when it is more stormy and periods when winters are more settled (and colder).
Storm Jesus Wept being hard on the heels of storm Irritating and somewhat after storm Hilarious convinced climate sceptics of just one thing: these 'experts' don't know what they're talking about.
BTW I'm having trouble thinking of a name for storm K. Any suggestions?

Good summary of the madness.
Thanks. Your comment prompted me to add a couple more paragraphs for completeness!
Forgive me if I've already posted this but my youngest brother teaches geology at an American college. He studies paleoclimate, has worked all over the world. He says: "we're living in a cold, barren climate right now. And the best minds know that."
Any half educated person knows that.
Remember the former director of NASA during the Obama administration. He was fired for saying simply, "How do we know that this is the ideal climate for this planet? We could be living in an anomaly, and we wouldn't even know."
Some pointy head guy here on Substack was challenging people to a climate change debate. I asked him two simple questions, and he never even responded.

He never answered.

You can't exploit the situation if it's resolved.

So was the fact that there were no storms in this period last year disproof of climate change, by the same token?
It's just stupid isn't it. Statistically, over many years, I think you will find that there has been no increase in storminess in the British Isles, but there are periods when it is more stormy and periods when winters are more settled (and colder).
I don't need statistics, over half way through my eighth decade I KNOW that weather in Great Britain varies considerably between years!
They forgot to mention La Nina, which comes between El Ninos.

Storm Karen?
