Webmaster Addition:

Blackouts cost lives. Parts of Spain and Portugal suffered a blackout linked to renewables in April, 2025. I was in Lisbon when it happened and can testify first-hand that it was a scary time. It only lasted 16 hours but several deaths were directly attributable to it.

Later studies noted an unusual blip in ‘excess deaths’ in the days surrounding the blackout. The death toll, direct and indirect, has now been put at closer to 160.

So, those who champion Net Zero to the exclusion of all else are not just guilty of a great economic folly.

A recently leaked document by the government-owned National Energy System Operator (NESO) revealed that increasing reliance on wind, solar and batteries in the UK has made supply and demand forecasting more difficult, raising blackout risks and pushing up consumer bills.

In words which should set the crockery rattling in the Department of Energy, the whistleblower behind the leak claimed NESO is "flying blind, every minute of every day" in its ability to understand energy supply and demand.

Britain needed emergency electricity help from France twice in four days. 

Those who wonder how low scientific integrity can go at the UK Met Office must continue to wonder. Surely by now it would have withdrawn its 2018 UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) report when it used only a RCP8.5 computer pathway to suggest UK summer temperatures could rise 5.1°C by 2070. Preferably with the fulsome apology for all the harm and concern caused after the IPCC ruled the notorious pathway was “implausible”. No chance. In fact, it seems to be doubling down.

Bill Gates released a video arguing that persistent aircraft contrails are “just clouds” but still warm the planet, and that airlines can avoid making them. He framed contrails as a major piece of aviation’s non‑carbon impact and suggested that cutting them could shave a meaningful share off warming. The claim touches a nerve. Many Americans distrust top‑down climate fixes from billionaires. They also want straight answers that do not empower unelected global players.

“Major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas ... by 2020!" reported The Guardian in 2004. But wait, 2020 was six years ago! No cities are underwater. In this video, I debunk activists' claims about polar bears, droughts, bees, food shortages and more: https://t.co/3CBpG6TjtE
