    More coal being burned than ever to keep the lights on

    The IEA warned there was a “major gap between ambition and action” on climate change, slowing down progress.

    “The pledges to reach net zero emissions made by many countries, including China and India, should have very strong implications for coal – but these are not yet visible in our near-term forecast, reflecting the major gap between ambitions and action,” it said.

    Coal has been almost phased out from UK power and accounts for just 2pc of annual electricity supply. The Government wants to phase it out completely by 2024.

    Coal-fired power stations have been needed in recent months, however, as low wind and high gas prices put pressure on the electricity system.

    It is a pretty fair bet that if you are reading this in Britain, you have gas central heating. Unless you are a rich Eco-Warrior with an expensive inefficient, ineffective heat pump that the government thinks everyone will have by 2050.

    At the moment over 40 per cent of our power is generated using gas. We in Britain could switch off our Russian gas supply as it only accounts for 3 per cent of our usage; however, we still get much of our supply as Liquified Natural Gas from Qatar or by pipeline from Norway. We could get much more secure supplies from the North Sea by stopping the current policy of running down our own reserves. Only brain dead tree huggers like George Monbiot think that we can do away with fossil fuels in less than ten years time.

    In Lincolnshire, residents near to Gainsborough are objecting to a massive solar farm being built. Their objection could be NIMBYism but the reality is that we do not have enough sunlight to make solar effective and when the wind does not blow, wind farms are unreliable. Both of those forms of renewable have been massively subsidised via your energy bills. My own energy supplier used 49.6 per cent gas and zero nuclear. Our lack of investment in nuclear will come back to bite us. The reality is that only 4 per cent of our energy needs come from renewable.

    In 2019, Theresa May committed us to zero emissions by 2050 by changing the 2008 Climate Change Act (enacted by Labour) that had targeted an 80 per cent reduction. When Boris took over, his Woke green fiancée Carrie persuaded him to stick to the target that Parliament had taken just 90 minutes to agree. Boris continued to virtue signal at COP26 in Glasgow. In the political rush to be ‘first’ to Net Zero, reality has gone out the window.

    With Europe dependent on Russia for almost a third of their gas, it seems unlikely that Germany will switch off Nord Stream. Of course Mr Putin could switch it off but the EU currently pays over $100m a day compared to Britain’s £6m.

    What is happening here is that Vladimir Putin is demonstrating the total futility of Net Zero. If somebody is going to assassinate Vlad then they really should arrange an eco-friendly ticket to Moscow for Saint Greta. She can bump him off on the grounds that it would be good for the planet: a massive part of Russia’s economy is dependent upon fossils fuels. If Russia stops getting paid for oil and gas then wheat becomes its biggest export – and that is something that Ukraine is big at too.

    What is happening is that the Western Govts are working against the interests of its citizens and working for the interests of unelected technocrats.

    Everything that is happening in the western world is completely avoidable, bankrupting the Western world to fight a mild respitaroty virus, injecting billions with a poison that isn't a vaccine and even this ****-show in Ukraine and subsequent inflation.

    The cyberattack is next... it's not an act of aggression by Russia, its an act of terror by Western Govts on its people with the goal of engineering the Great Reset and 4th Industrial revolution. Mass servitude by ordinary people and rewards for doing the right thing (right thing being do whatever the in thing is)

    Unelected technocrats who are billionaires have bought and paid for Western democracy, corrupt and shameless liars like Johnson, Trudeau, Biden are doing their dirty work.

    They hate us, they see us as scum, all of us. Stop complying and start the revolution.

    Only kidding. I'm watching season one of War in Ukraine. It's very realistic.

    What's happened to dear Greta these days?
    She seems to have faded from the world stage, has she found a boy/girlfriend to take her mind off things or has the world suddenly developed real problems which have put her back in the realms of disturbed teenager.

    Is it April 1st already?

    I got an email from National Savings and Investments offering me the opportunity to buy “Green Savings Bonds Issue 2”, paying a whopping 1.3 per cent interest for 3 years.

    Why did I not snap up Issue 1 with such tremendous inflation busting interest rates being offered by the government?

    I really should do it – 1.3 per cent is still better than the 0.6 per cent on my building society accounts, so I will be losing slightly less as inflation is allowed to run wild.

    Apparently the money from the bonds will ‘make transport cleaner’, ‘fund renewable energy over fossil fuels’ and ‘prevent pollution’. So is that pay the cleaners on the London Underground because soft southerners make a mess? Put up more windmills that generate no energy when there is no wind? More fields full of solar panels rather than crops because the farmer gets a subsidy?

    I bet Saint Greta has got some Swedish Green Bonds, although I am not sure what she would use to pay for them as she does not seem to actually have a paid job. Does Sweden have Universal Basic Income but keep quiet about it? Or do they have generous benefits for Asperger’s Syndrome sufferers?

    She doesn't have a paid job and has very little education, but is a millionaire already.
