    Many of the actual experts in Chris Witty's team disagreed with his interpretation of the data and the methodologies used to create it.

    The expert "scientists" have been telling us since the early 1950's that the flat Earth will cease exist "as of by the end of the decade"

    Did many of his team say that Covid was no worse than Flu?

    Plant trees - capture carbon.

    Only drawback, he won't be able to funnel £22bn out of the exchequer into his pals pockets with trees.

    Stalin 2.0 was visiting India this week, heralding the next influx of migrant workers with the trade deal that the Tories would not sign because it had a Swiss cheese proportion of holes in it. He was delighted to announce a £1bn deal that would see some Bollywood films produced in Britain and it was going to create thousands of jobs. In other words more gaslighting from Stalin 2.0. There are already about 50 Bollywood films made here annually and they bring all their people with them, so the only ‘jobs’ are at the firms where they hire kit. I bet a lot of those firms are run by British people of Indian descent.

    Anybody remember those tens of thousands of jobs that Milipede promised from the green energy economy as we became a Clean Energy Superpower?

    It seems that is not going too well either. One of the biggest players in that market is Ørsted, the Scandinavian wind turbine company. It is being restructured and has already abandoned plans to build “Hornsea 4” in the North Sea off the East Yorkshire coast because they could not get enough subsidy to make it profitable. So now they are planning on axing jobs, including some of the 1,300 that it has in the UK.

    Where have all those people, like Dale Vince, that were bragging not long ago about how cheap energy bills were in Spain with its 100% renewable electricity plans?

    I was driving past Drax Power Station at around midnight, returning home from a day out with a friend and there were huge clouds of steam rising from its cooling towers as they were busy burning wood pellets to produce electricity.

    Now why were they producing so much electricity in the middle of the night when we have all those wind turbines that our Net Zero zealots have spent billions on erecting in the North Sea? Officially, Drax is considered to be renewable energy because it no longer burns dirty coal even though it is our biggest CO2 emitter; however, its subsidy will halve in 2027 and the wood pellets are imported so not a huge number of British jobs.

    It surely could not be anything to do with the High Pressure weather system that is currently camped over the United Kingdom with the wind barely managing to get near to 10mph... <doh>

    Chopping down and burning trees, who consume CO2 to stay alive, seems stupid.

    Even stupider is that by burning them to produce 'renewables', all the CO2 they've stored ends up being pumped back into the atmosphere.

    But no one can tell you how much CO2 should be in the atmosphere because it's a lie that CO2 increases the temperature.

    Only dullards buy in to it.

    How many of the "Greens" are concerned with the ACTUAL environmental impact of pouring thousands of tonnes of concrete into the seabed to house these monstrous eye-sores that provide an unstable power source which in turn, is heavily subsidised by the taxpayer, which is funnelled to another billionaire on another continent?

    "Green" energy my ****ing arse <laugh>

    And how to ruin Scotchland aesthetically both onshore and just slightly offshore.

    ****ing criminal.

    It's like "War Of The Worlds" scenery up here. Maybe just turn Scotchland into one complete loony Theme Park based on utter nonsense.

    Your climate warriors, @Phineas Fogg (the Edinburgh mincer) and his trans boyfriend @Toby, will not utter a peep.

    Sea bed destroyed
    Marine life destroyed
    Birdlife jeopardised
    Coastline destroyed

    "Free energy" they'll cry
    Energy bills "hold my beer"

    And of top of that, where's that promised reduction in Energy bills by Teddy Millipede and Dame Beer Korma.

    Another ****ing lie.

    Poor old Joe And Josephine Bloggs have to suffer successive Governments ineptitude and false promises.
