This idiot has not contemplated the possibility that the problem experienced in Kenya is not climate change-related.

Which is likely to have the consequence of making life harder for Kenyans, as the following charts demonstrate...
These charts were used in a #FLOP26 episode the other night.

Clearly, there no climate change signal in agricultural production statistics from Kenya. ImageImageImage
(I chose fruit production, because it was highlighted by a Kenyan delegate at COP26.)

Here's the #FLOP26 roundup while the series has a hiatus, for your catch-up convenience...

The Guest on Episode 1 was Benny Peiser of @NetZeroWatch, who explained the UNFCCC process, and what @COP26 was all about.

In #FLOP26 episode 2, Austin Williams (@Future_Cities) discussed eco-colonialism, environmentalism's toxic obstruction of economic development where it is most needed.
In #FLOP26 episode 3, Richard North (@RichardAENorth) talked about scaremongering and technocracy, and one of green technocrats' biggest failures: flooding.

Monday Night's #FLOP26 Livestream guest is going to be Christopher Horner @Chris_C_Horner, and our subject is going to be Climate Lawfare.

Here's the link to the stream, going live tomorrow at 8PM.

* Times are GMT.

If you don't know about lawfare, here's my video on the subject, which is just a tiny slice of the story.

It's missed by the news media, but it's nothing less than a global scandal in which green interests try to circumvent democracy.

Chris is a lawyer, and the author of a number of books on climate politics.

Wed's #FLOP26 will be a special on climate science and COP26 in the wake of the #Climategate debate that has revised by the @BBC. I will be joined by @ClimateAudit, @drdwhitehouse and @aDissentient to discuss the role of science in climate politics, and why it gets so heated.
Here are @ClimateAudit's corrections to the BBC's dramatisation of Climategate -- which was itself an odd decision, and was written by an Extinction Rebellion activist.

Here is @aDissentient's book that developed on @ClimateAudit's work looking at the infamous 'hockey stick' graph.

On Tuesday, the #FLOP26 Livestream guest will be the force of nature that is Dr Richard AE North @RichardAENorth. We will be discussing the route from scaremongering to technocracy, and the parallels between global climate politics and the European Union.
Dr North was co-author and collaborator with the late, great and sorely-missed Christopher Booker.

They wrote one of the most important answers to the rampant fearmongering that now characterises politics.

Richard is one of the convenors of the Harrogate Agenda -- the most deeply considered and developed plan for Britain's exit from the European Union.

The second episode of the #FLOP26 Livestream will be on Monday 1 November, at 8pm. The magnificent Austin Williams (@Future_Cities) will be joining me to talk about the rampant eco-racism and anti-humanism behind #COP26.

Links to the Livestream will be posted under my pinned tweet.

It will start 15 minutes before the conversation at 7.45 pm, to allow people to find the stream.

Friends! Here is my new project, which I need some help with.
For the duration of COP26, I will be producing a daily livestream chat with guests -- #FLOP26 -- to give the other sides to the story being peddled in Glasgow and on most news media.

I have lots of excellent guests lined up, to speak about the history of the COP meetings, the UK political establishment's bizarre love affair with the green movement, #Climategate, eco-bureaucracies, the fatal flaws of #NetZero... From the science to the politics...

Lots of terrible coverage for the government's #NetZero agenda, even from allies. A growing gulf between realists and zealots. I wonder how long it can survive in its present form, even assuming success at #FLOP26.
Britain could emerge from the global jawfest as a "climate champion", but then be one of the first countries forced to pull out of the very deal it brokered, because of domestic political pressure.
There is precedent.

Within months of the 2017 COP23 at Bonn, Germany was revealed to have missed its own green targets.

And within a couple of years of the 2015 COP21 in Paris, rising energy prices sparked a protest movement demanding Macron's resignation in weekly protests.

The context of #FLOP26 (pka @COP26, #COP26) is...

1. Weakening western international relations, & deepening east-west tensions.

bbc.co.uk/news/world-585…
2. Out-of-control energy market prices (blamed on Russia, not on domestic policy.)

3. Manufacturing crisis caused by high energy prices & feedstock shortages.

4. Rising food prices & shortages

5. Inflation?

6. The continued legacy of incautious, on-the-hoof, top-down domestic and global Covid policy.

7. Deepening public scepticism of globalism and technocracy, causing the coalescence of new protest and political movements.

It is very odd seeing the shadow Env Sec, @LukePollard try to claim that the government has no idea how to implement the #NetZero agenda and isn't showing leadership ahead of #FLOP26.

It is MPs from all parties that have put climate targets ahead of knowing how to achieve them.
And it is all parties that have put global agreements ahead of the public's appetite for the policies.

The public have been excluded from the debate by the three legacy parties. No MP can claim to know how #NetZero can be achieved. Pollard's criticism of the government is empty.
Labour have no better idea, either.

When Ed Miliband went to Copenhagen in 2009, he believed that the newly-minted Climate Change Act would give the UK government an edge in negotiations.

All the other countries just ignored him and Parliament's act of sacrifice.
