OTOH, this *is* what happens when you indulge a political movement, fail to challenge it, concede to its every demand, give it access to all parts of the political establishment, and claim to champion its cause...
MPs decided that there *is* a climate emergency.

Parliament decided to have a Citizens Assembly.

The government decided it would set a #netzero target, and all MPs agreed.

All without debate.

So, if so much can be agreed without debate, what's the point of the free press?
It wouldn't matter what you read in any of the papers, your views are unimportant to anyone in Westminster.

The green agenda, #netzero, has been decided without your consent. And these XR people are just the start of it.
No public institutions and very few publications have defended democracy as the green agenda rolled on.

Nobody called out the government on it. Nor the opposition. Nor the batshit mad greens.

XR are the next stage of reverse-evolution that happens when you abolish debate.

To the extent that it is not mere nonsense, this is green mysticism: "the climate crisis is driving the foundations of economic shocks".

People internalise this irrational green ideology. We should take it seriously.

Inflation and interest rates have nothing to do with 'climate'.
There is no climate change signal in cocoa production stats. Thee of the last four years saw record production. The last year's production was still higher than any year prior to seven years ago. Image
Prices of commodities often fluctuate, for myriad reasons. Greens always blame a single outlier on 'crisis' to support their ignorant ideological view.

Labour will further exclude the public from political decision-making by outsourcing policy to unelected panels of people, who will be tortured into submitting to the will of the fake experts that will bore them close to death, before providing them with rigged questions, and then writing up their deliberations to suit the conveners, not what the 'citizens assembly' actually determined...
Read my analysis of the climate 'citizens assembly'.

netzerowatch.com/all-papers/cli…
The Climate Assembly was convened by Parliament, who appointed wonks and activists to manage the process.

The assembly was not free to ask questions or choose which experts to call, or write up or even approve its own findings.

Jim Dale is not a "qualified meteorologist".

He's not even called Jim.
The UK only started naming storms in 2015.

The number of named storms is not a meteorological metric.

"Jim Dale" is not his name.

And no company called "British Weather Services" has traded in the UK this century.

Similarly, 'meteorologist' is just a name.
Noel Roger Dale left school at 16 without much by way of O-levels.

He worked in a cotton mill for a bit.

Then he joined the Navy as a caterer.

This is a somewhat shallow and hollow attempt to circumvent the major problem haunting global climate politics for four decades.

It was the 'free-rider' problem: why should we commit to self-harming policies when others won't?

Those other countries were 'developing' when the first global policies were being considered. Now they are well and truly developed, and their progress is accelerating, while much of the seemingly 'developed' world is stagnating, thanks in large part to rising energy costs, owed in turn directly and indirectly to the green policies she is arguing for.

Ritchie tries to counter what she claims is a 'weak argument' with a series of arguments that are even weaker.
1. Rich countries – that have emitted the most – have a moral responsibility

Why? The data provided by her own project show very clearly that there are no adverse signals in fundamental metrics of human welfare that can be attributed to climate change.
Moreover, the same data show that affordable, abundant and reliable energy are key to that progress.

So there is no injury. And thus there is no moral obligation.

Is your home in one of the local authorities shown in this map?

If so, then your local council/councils have pledged to put the green agenda before the voters wishes and the public' interest.

Our @ClimateDebateUK/@Togetherdec research featured in today's @Telegraph.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/0…Image
This work is an add-on to our @ClimateDebateUK/@Togetherdec report on air pollution politics.

We show how green billionaires and their fake civil society organisations are corrupting UK democracy at all levels of government -- international, national, regional and local.

togetherdeclaration.org/report/
Here is the pledge that local governments that are members of @UK100_ have committed to.

This includes Labour, Lib-Dem and Conservative councils, but mostly Labour.

Did you vote for this? Were you given a choice? What does the turnout say about the council's mandate? Image

My 'debate' with Donnachadh McCarthy on @petercardwell's @TalkTV show this morning.

Starts at 1h.46m.44s into this Youtube clip.

A discussion thread follows...

Unfortunately debate with green zealots is not possible, because of what I call the 'Femi effect'. As with debates about Brexit with Remainer activists, you end facing a machine-gunned litany of unconnected factoids, precluding any focus on facts, let alone coherent argument.
That means you have to try to limit what you respond to -- McCarthy wanted to talk about everything from ice cores to annual global temperatures and his solar panels, not the rights and wrongs of UK climate and energy policy. And much of what he said was simply untrue.
