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

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

Lord Gavin Barwell was the Chief of Staff for Theresa May \u2013 in a field with numerous candidates, probably the worst British Prime Minister in living memory. Reacting to a recent Daily Sceptic<\/em> article that laid out the science<\/a> surrounding carbon dioxide, he pounced on an X repost by \u201cToby and his mate [yours truly]\u201d and stated: \u201cI suspect the next generation may pursue people like him who sought to delay action for damages.\u201d Barwell\u2019s comment is as silly as it is sinister<\/a>, but it indicates considerable elite derangement as members observe their Net Zero fantasy falling in flames. Net Zero was only ever an elite luxury belief backed by 30 years of lies, fake science and constant climate scare forecasts that never happened. Removing all hydrocarbons from industrial societies will lead to economic and societal collapse. Removing hydrocarbons from the developing world is just plain wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pure snobbery behind Net Zero is plain for all to see. The latest carbon budget from the Climate Change Committee (CCC) suggested restrictions on meat and dairy, higher air fares, ripping out efficient gas boilers and replacing them with optimistically-named heat pumps and replacing most cars with battery buggies. The message might have gone down slightly better if it had not been delivered by the new CCC head Emma Pinchbeck, who rose through the mediocre ranks of the Green Blob following her degree in Classics and English at Oxford University<\/a>. Does anyone outside the deluded, science-lite green community seriously believe that an entire population will fall in line with plans to cut the hard-won increases in living standards that have eased the lives of recent generations? In a future \u2018Blackout Britain\u2019, the only pursuing likely to occur is a chasing of the Net Zero rascals out of Parliament at the next available General Election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Trump\u2019s historic victory, the attack on Net Zero is now general across all fronts. The costs involved in Net Zero are astronomical and are a topic of independent commentary in the Daily Sceptic <\/em>and a greatly increasing number of other concerned outlets. There simply isn\u2019t enough money in highly-indebted states to fund a so-called renewable transition. There is no point in looking for the free market to chip in \u2013 nobody spending their own money would considering building a windmill unless their mouths were stuffed with taxpayer gold. The recent story<\/a> in the Express <\/em>that the UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband is set to be sacked as the British Government \u201cshifts from \u2018green\u2019 policies to focusing on economic growth\u201d is not without interest. Nevertheless, caution in believing such political stories is always advisable, although it appears that knives are being sharpened. Even if the Mad One is sacked, the Labour front and back benches are packed with one-track eco-zealots, and the CCC is always there to hold feet to the legal fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Roy Spencer is a brilliant former NASA scientist and currently produces the monthly global satellite temperature record out of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). In a scientifically honest world, his UAH readings taken just above massive urban ground warming would be accepted as the gold standard. After all, satellite data is now used across all other climate study areas. But the readings since 1979 show less warming than the constantly fiddled surface datasets and he compounds this crime by holding sceptical independent views. \u201cThe science of human-caused climate change is much more uncertain that you have been led to believe,\u201d he recently wrote<\/a>. Spencer does not deny that humans have played a part in 1\u00b0C of warming over the last century, give or take a 30% range in different temperature datasets. He just notes, \u201cWe don\u2019t really know.\u201d And why don\u2019t we know, he asks, and why can we therefore state that the invented \u2018settled\u2019 science backing Net Zero is a gigantic lie? Spencer explains that the global energy balance caused by increasing human-caused emissions is smaller than the accuracy with which we know natural energy flows in the climate system. \u201cThis means recent warming could be mostly natural and we would never know it,\u201d he helpfully adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most climate and weather fearmongering is based on computer models, with unquestioning messengers always at hand to pass on the junk findings to a wider audience. The climate models are adjusted (\u2018fudged\u2019) so that increasing CO2<\/sub> is the only cause of warming, says Spencer. \u201cThe models themselves do not have all of the necessary physics, mostly due to cloud process uncertainties,\u201d he observes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spencer also notes that the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes does not claim that greenhouse gas emissions have caused changes in severe weather. This inconvenient finding has necessitated the invention of a particularly large whopper. Almost all bad weather is now routinely tied to human causation, and \u2018attribution\u2019 pseudoscience is both big business and bedrock copy for mainstream media. \u201cBut with public opinion of mainstream news outlets at an all-time low, fewer and fewer people take those news reports seriously,\u201d suggests Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gavin Barwell was May\u2019s Chief of Staff at the end of her Premiership at a time when she was desperately seeking a legacy for her failed time in office. For some inexplicable reason, she suddenly committed the UK in 2019 to full Net Zero by 2050, without providing any realistic explanation as to how a modern industrial society can stop using hydrocarbons in all forms in 30 years. Perhaps Barwell could now be \u2018pursued\u2019 for an explanation as to why he was complicit in forcing the UK down such a potentially damaging, disastrous even, path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop Press<\/strong>: The latest UAH global temperature reading shows a +0.5\u00b0C anomaly for February 2025. The figure is similar to January and recent recordings exhibit a large downward trend. Surface measurements do not appear to have picked up much of this fall and mainstream media still seem to be looking for another \u2018hottest evah\u2019 contribution to the science debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
