From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0Chris Morrison<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty years ago, the Liberal leader David Steele told his party to return to their constituencies and prepare for government. Today as the second reading of the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill<\/a> is before the British Parliament, the current leader, the clownish Ed Davey, is effectively telling his MPs to return to the voters and prepare to live in mud and grass huts. All 72 Lib Dem MPs are supporting the CAN bill<\/a> which will cut hydrocarbon use across the entire UK economy by around 90% within a decade. As the Daily Sceptic<\/em> noted on Tuesday<\/a>, the bill if passed could lead to mass starvation, death, disease and societal collapse in the near future.  Around 200 MPs are reported to support the private member\u2019s bill and with many MPs departing for weekends in often distant constituencies, there is a dangerous chance it could pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massive CAN cut in hydrocarbon use is much higher than the one suggested by the UK Government-funded UK FIRES reports. Assessing the state of current technology, UK FIRES provides a rarely encountered honest assessment<\/a> that the UK will have only a third of its energy if Net Zero is attained by 2050. All flying and shipping must stop and beef and lamb will be banned. The only new building materials allowable will be earth, stone and timber. A recent United Nations report<\/a> set out a collectivist global vision of primary building materials under Net Zero consisting of mud bricks, bamboo and forest \u201cdetritus\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CAN bill calls for a halt to all hydrocarbon exploration, extraction, sale and importation in the near future. This Wednesday, wind and solar contributed nothing to the UK electricity grid and the lights only stayed on, the sewerage works only continued operating and the hospital ventilators were only able to keep critically ill people alive due to the 70% contribution of natural gas. In the \u2018near future\u2019, a society without hydrocarbons will collapse and be reduced in short order to brutal primitivism. Of course the bill is little more than a thinly-disguised attempt using meaningless climate and nature claptrap to ration and control almost everything citizens consume. Control of hydrocarbons looks like the magic bullet that command-and-control collectivists have sought for nearly two centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the heavy support in Parliament, the bill has attracted no interest in the legacy media. Even the Guardian <\/em>does not appear to have noted its existence. Maybe this is because it is a private members bill that is not expected to pass. But perhaps also it is because discussing the bill opens a pandora\u2019s box. Hardly anyone in the UK, apart from the committed zealots, would support such a drastic reduction in hydrocarbon use. A wider discussion of the bill would open up considerable opposition to the Net Zero campaign and the invented climate emergency that supports a fantasy that is fading fast across the world. Not every journalist has kept schtum, so a shout out to Bev Turner of GB News who has produced an excellent 15 minute commentary<\/a> on the bill that is available on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
