Everything about Net Zero is fake. The temperature record, climate models, the “climate emergency”, cheap renewables, green jobs, and even the claimed emissions cuts — it’s all built on lies and distortions. A thread 🧵(1/12)
The global temperature record has been repeatedly “adjusted”. Past cooled, present warmed to exaggerate warming. Tony Heller has documented it for years. UK Met Office stations are mostly poor quality with huge error margins. (2/12)
Climate models run too hot. High sensitivity estimates don’t match observations. Even the IPCC has dropped the extreme RCP8.5 scenario. The scare stories are built on faulty models. (3/12)
The “Climate Emergency” is fake. Even the IPCC admits low confidence in most extreme weather trends, even when using the discredited RCP8.5 scenario. The DOE report confirms: most types of extreme weather show no statistically significant long-term trends. (4/12)
The UK produces just 0.8% of global CO₂. Even if we reach Net Zero, it makes zero measurable difference to the climate. The idea we’re “leading the world” is pure fantasy. (5/12)
“Cheap renewables” is the biggest lie of all. The UK now has the highest industrial electricity prices in the developed world — driven by wind and solar plus all the hidden costs. (6/12)
When you add backup, balancing, and grid connection costs, wind and solar are far more expensive than gas — even with carbon taxes. Bills are set to rise sharply with extra subsidies and massive spending on the grid. (7/12)
Wind and solar aren’t even particularly “clean”. They destroy huge amounts of land, require massive critical minerals, damage biodiversity, and rely on slave labour in supply chains. (8/12)
The promised “Green Industrial Revolution”? Gordon Brown claimed 400k new green jobs years ago taking the total to 1.3m. Reality: only ~304k in the low-carbon sector. Meanwhile the economy is stagnating & high-productivity industries are being crushed by expensive energy. (9/12)
Even the claimed 50% emissions cuts are fake. On a consumption basis (including imported emissions), UK reductions are down only ~27%. We’ve simply offshored our emissions and jobs. (10/12)
Net Zero is a fib, wrapped in a falsehood, inside a farrago of lies. It’s time to abandon this disastrous policy based on a completely false prospectus. (11/12)
