“Net Zero”: The political lie for a generation

<laugh>

Lefty loony woke ****sticks should move to China and bleat on about climate change. ****ing ****stains.
Climate change being blamed on human activity is a scam.

The new heat pumps can now do hot water whereas the old ones couldn't because they only get up to 50 degrees C and you need at least 60 degrees for hot water.

But the new heat pumps still can only get to 50 degrees and then they use electricity to get the water temp up to 60 degrees.

These heat pumps can cost £15k whereas a traditional boiler and cylinder is a couple of grand.

It's a massive con and there is absolutely zero evidence that reducing co2 output in the UK will do anything to appease the weather, especially when China is doing more co2 than the rest of the world combined.

Complete and utter lunacy.

Correct, my good Shed Man.

Humanoids are gullible ****ing ****witted balloons

The tiddly winks are a developing country so they are exempt from silly carbon deadlines.

They are building more coal powered stations because the rest of the World will send them trillions to close them in the future.

Meanwhile most of the EV batteries, solar panels & wind turbines are being manufactured & bought from them .

Genius

Slave child labour <laugh>

Lefty loonies think it's great though, so that's OK <doh>
 
If only the global family could agree. The world would be safe forever.

I blame those flat earther ****s.

How did Quarterbrain manage to start his/her/its own thread?

<doh> Those with a quarter of a brain more than you can find a button on the General Chat home page with the title “Post New Thread”. This allows anyone with sufficient privileges to enter a thread title, the text of what they wish to post and then there is a button titled “Create Thread”.

For your information, as an Old World fossil that will never be brainwashed with gender ideology, the only pronoun I accept from your alternatives is “his”.

Letter to The Financial Times from Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, 10th February 2023.

“Even if the world moved straight to net zero over 30 years, only 0.2°C warming would be prevented by 2050. UK net zero on its own would prevent just 1/500th of a degree, at a cost of £3tn for the energy sector alone. Each £1bn spent on net zero would prevent well below a millionth of a degree. Net zero is as unattainable as it is unaffordable.”

“Germany’s swan dive off the energy cliff is a striking example of Mass Dissonance™, a phenomenon under which entire societies believe things provably at odds with physics, truth tellers are ostracized as heretics, and real-world nullification of tightly held dogmas are twisted into proof of the need to double down on the absurdity. It was always impossible for Germany to execute Energiewende without collapsing the standard of living of its citizens, and the moment the latter could no longer be protected from the former, Germany retreated to the coal mines with a swiftness and efficiency on par with the British evacuation from Dunkirk.
“Imagine if Germany had not scrambled to bring their coal plants back online as quickly as they did. Imagine if Thunberg had gotten her way. As we type this piece, more than 40% of Germany’s electricity is being produced by coal. Unplug those coal-fired power plants tomorrow and chaos of historic proportions would quickly follow.
“We surely won’t be alone in noting that Mass Dissonance™ on energy fundamentals is the ultimate expression of affluence and excess. To the vast swathes of humanity struggling at the base of Maslow’s pyramid of needs, the West’s obsession with pretending that impossible goals are achievable while wasting enormous resources in their fruitless pursuit must seem utterly incomprehensible.
“We simply cannot electrify our transportation sector and back up our electricity grid to any meaningful extent using batteries, and therefore we won’t.”

I took the charts in this post from an article in the Telegraph on Monday entitled The ‘elephant in the room’ that risks exposing Britain’s net zero agenda.

The theory is not difficult to understand. It is a story of lying politicians only using the statistics that seem most palatable to their argument.

Go back to Boxing Day 2023 and the Net Zero Secretary Claire Coutinho was telling us that we had halved our emissions based on a 1971 baseline: UK hailed as ‘world leader in tackling climate change’ as first G20 nation to halve carbon emissions

In September, Sunak was bragging about how our greenhouse gas emissions were down by nearly half compared to the 1990 baseline being used as a target. In the same timeframe, the USA had achieved no reduction, the French only 22 per cent and China was up more than 300 per cent.

Of course the lie here is that these numbers are for Britain’s emissions within its own borders. So as this graph shows, emissions have fallen:

But this fall has occurred because we have offshored our emissions by manufacturing less and importing more. So the graph of reality is more like this:

The fall in CO2 emissions of nearly 400m tonnes in territorial numbers is virtually wiped out by the 350m tonnes plus increase in overseas emissions. We got rid of all our coal-fired power stations and the industries that used the energy and now get cheap imports from China, which builds coal-fired power stations with alacrity.

We use a lot less energy than we did in the seventies because all the heavy industry has gone:

So it is smoke and mirrors – and the CO2 from the smoke is rising over China.
