Here’s a general-purpose climate change/Net Zero essay-type comment I prepared earlier:

The climate change hoaxers on this side of the pond are going to look even more stupid than they do now when President Trump and his MAGA team have finished eviscerating the climate change hoax in the USA. Here’s my own debunking of the climate change hoax. It was published over a year ago and I’ve never yet had anyone rebut any of it: https://metatron.substack.com/p/debunking-the-climate-change-hoax.

Net Zero is doomed to failure because it is an engineering fantasy says Emeritus Professor Michael Kelly: https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2025/06/19/net-zero-is-an-engineering-fantasy-michael-kelly/.

Professor Kelly and many others have been saying this for many years, to no avail. The establishment and supporting chattering classes thought they ruled the world, especially when they enlisted the support of so many world institutions, and thought they could push through their climate change/Net Zero fantasy against all reality. Now the UK general public is starting to realise that all they get from Net Zero is ever-rising unaffordable energy bills, the highest in the developed world, deindustrialisation with hardly any promised "green jobs", coercion to adopt unwanted heat pumps, EVs and smart meters and the worsening probability that rolling blackouts and even prolonged national blackouts like the recent outage in Spain could happen at any time: https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2025/06/19/kathryn-porter-reviews-the-spanish-blackouts-report/.

The general public is also beginning to realise that Net Zero is a cruelly pointless imposition given that the majority rest of the world clearly doesn’t give two hoots about reducing their CO2 emissions: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-country?country=GBR~CHN~OWID_WRL.

Happily, the UN IPCC accidentally condemned its precious climate change agenda to irrelevance – it was only a matter of time - when they published their 1.5 degrees special report in 2018, calling for impossibly large reductions in global CO2 emissions in an impossibly short timescale. Any rationalist could see at the time that these targets were impossible, e.g. Professor Roger Pielke Jr calculated that Net Zero CO2 emissions by 2050 would require building a new nuclear power station every day: https://iowaclimate.org/2019/10/02/net-zero-carbon-dioxide-emissions-by-2050-requires-a-new-nuclear-power-plant-every-day/.

Net Zero reality is finally starting to bite and the chickens are coming home to roost.

I for one will never forgive the Lab/Con/Lib Dem/SNP Uniparty politicians for foisting their climate change/Net Zero tyranny on us against all honest scientific and engineering evidence to wreck our energy infrastructure and economy and ruin our landscapes and seascape with pointless, ineffective so-called renewables. All these wind and solar farm will soon end up as junk and will have to be scrapped but the scars of their massive concrete and steel foundations will probably remain forever: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gca6HdfXkAAknL_?format=jpg&name=small.

It’s not just the current Labour Uniparty incumbents to blame although they probably take the biscuit in mindless fanaticism. The Conservatives have pushed climate change and Net Zero for many years and although they have changed their tune recently to the extent of saying “No Net Zero by 2050”, whatever that means, they can’t bring themselves to defy their globalist overlords by committing to scrap Net Zero.

The Lib Dems are obsessive climate fanatics. Earlier this year all 72 Lib Dem MPs and many others including my own MP supported the Climate and Nature Bill which if enacted and implemented would quickly have taken the country back to the dark ages: https://metatron.substack.com/p/climate-change-and-the-corruption.

The SNP are moronic on climate change/Net Zero. Their climate change minister is so worried about methane greenhouse gas from landfill sites that she is going to use 100 lorries a day to transport Scottish waste to England - methane and landfill problem solved as far as she is concerned: https://www.gbnews.com/news/snp-tonnes-rubbish-england-uk.

The climate-obsessed SNP have also just announced a new set of impossibly-onerous CO2 emission reduction targets which will never be achieved without forcing the country to a standstill (climate lockdown?), e.g. a 57% reduction over the next five years: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c056gv2q9q5o.

These Uniparty globalists showed their true colours through their fake Covid “plandemic” which is disgracefully still ongoing with the NHS telling people to get the latest Covid booster against the pretend dangerous virus while ordinary people can see that friends, relations and acquaintances all around are succumbing to unprecedented rates of turbo cancer, heart disease, strokes, failed pregnancies and other health horrors, not to mention sudden or premature death. All just coincidence of course (not): https://thewhiterose.uk/top-oncologist-angus-dalgleish-covid-shots-are-behind-turbo-cancer-spike/.

They only thing that might persuade me to forgive the Uniparty for their tyrannical Covid overreach is if they confess all and make a grovelling apology. That’s never going to happen so they all need to be swept away.

The only non-globalist UK party is Reform UK which may not be perfect but at least they have committed to scrapping Net Zero.

Enjoy! A single day does not a heatwave make.

Reading the titles of his publications and I get the strong impression that Ben has demonstrated that Climate Change is the cause of climate change.

And that without climate change, we would basically not be experiencing any variable weather whatsoever. We wouldn't even need forecasts because the weather each year, on every single day, would be entirely predictable! Ben wants to put meteorologists out of business by adopting renewables!

The establishment scientific world is full of non-thinking civil servants who just repeat, parrot fashion, what they are told to believe. If you don't run with the herd, you're out.
