From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Davison has asked me to publicise two meetings of their local Politics in Pubs group in Manchester, discussing Net Zero policies. The second will see GWPF\u2019s Benny Peiser speaking:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This topic is always in the news at present. Even the main stream legacy media is starting to question the costs and whether or not it will be achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be kicking this off with a look at the data behind global warming and trying to get closer to an answer as to whether there is a climate emergency or not. This meeting will take place at our usual venue at the Welcome Inn, Bury Old Road, Whitefield, M45 6TA, Manchester, on\u00a0Wednesday 23rd Aug 2023 at 7:30pm<\/strong>. See\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion will be led by one of our own members who will be presenting a case against the climate emergency narrative. If you do believe there is an emergency requiring drastic action, and therefore the need to spend almost any amount of money to address it, then we would be really pleased to have you join us. Please do bring along any data or references to scientific research and we\u2019ll make sure you have a chance to argue your position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then on\u00a0Thursday 14th September 2023, 7:30pm,<\/strong>\u00a0we will be joined by our guest speaker,\u00a0Dr Benny Peiser<\/strong>, who is the director of the\u00a0Global Warming Policy Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and an active member of its campaigning arm,\u00a0NetZero Watch<\/a>. The title of Benny\u2019s talk will be \u201cThe cost of Net Zero and its likely failure\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong>Venue to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those unfamiliar with the GWPF, it was launched by Lord Nigel Lawson and Benny on 23 November 2009 in the House of Lords \u2013 in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit. From their mission statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

People are naturally concerned about the environment, and want to see policies that enhance human wellbeing and protect the environment; policies that don\u2019t hurt, but help.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is committed to providing a platform for educational research and informed debates on these important issues.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to make progress and advance effective policy assessments, it is essential to cultivate a culture of open debate, tolerance and learning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our aim is to raise standards in learning and understanding through rigorous research and analysis, to help inform a balanced debate amongst the interested public and decision-makers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aim to create an educational platform on which common ground can be established, helping to overcome polarisation and partisanship. We aim to promote a culture of debate, respect, and a hunger for knowledge.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Benny has written extensively on domestic and international climate policy. In 1997 he founded CCNet, the world\u2019s leading climate policy network. A 10km-wide asteroid, Minor Planet (7107) Peiser, was named in his honour by the International Astronomical Union!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meeting is likely to be popular so to book your place please email us at\u00a0info@politicsinpubs.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are growing!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We are expanding our activities via regional Politics in Pubs groups and have created a map where you can\u00a0search for a group<\/a>\u00a0near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t find anything nearby as you can\u00a0start your own group<\/a>. If you would like to be put in touch with other people interested in talking about politics, please reply to this email letting us know your location and we\u2019ll help to get the conversation started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also planning to network with other free speech groups who have a similar interest in open discussion and debate. If you have such a group and want to appear on our map please\u00a0get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
