Under the main article on this research which shows that people don't want to pay for #NetZero is an article by @Will_Tanner, who claims that "There is no longer a political constituency for climate scepticism." Which is odd.. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…
It's odd because, according to the best (on his terms) interpretation of the research, there remains 30% of the population which is not convinced of the green agenda's necessity.
And it's odd because climate sceptics *main* argument for *years* has been that it is the costs of the political agenda which is the main problem.
And it's odd because there has been no debate of any consequence in the mainstream media about climate policy, which has been abolished from the BBC, and now all of the broadcasters have been aligned by the Nudge Unit.

Put simply, the extremely weak support that the #NetZero agenda seemingly has, exists at the end of over a decade of zero public debate, opposition, or challenge to green ideology.

And that's odd, isn't it.
But let's take a closer look at @Will_Tanner's odd little outfit, @ukonward, which claims to develop "bold and practical ideas for the next generation of centre right thinkers and leaders".

I think you know what's coming...

You may have guessed it...

Onward is just another astroturf outfit for the European Climate Foundation -- the organisation that funds every single last think tank and climate campaign in Britain, using funds from billionaires' "philanthropic" foundations.

It's always the same.
Civil society organisations, which think tanks like to cast themselves as, are incapable of producing original thought because they are, to all intents and purposes, a single entity.

The seemingly independent 'think' tank has the same instructions as Extinction Rebellion.
In Britain, "civil society" is nothing but a lie.

It has been bought and paid for by billionaires and corporations.

It has displaced the public in politics, and pushed them out.

It dominates the political agenda.

And it reeks.

This event will be the biggest pack of lies and liars ever seen.
There is categorically no link between climate change and negative health outcomes.

Doctors and researchers who have joined the cause have had to depart from science to make their claims.

All health indicators show unprecedented improvement over the era of global warming...
I'm not making this up...

Here are some charts from the Lancet which depict the mortality rates from some putative climate-related factors.

A new scare story. Watch them try to roll this into legislation in short order, despite the total dearth of evidence in support of it, and the total abundance of evidence against it.

A model will suggest that it reduces life span by a week.

Something. Must. Be. Done.
"... microplastics were dangerous because they don't break down..."

Then they're not dangerous. They are inert.
"... can cause stress and changes in metabolism..."

But there's no evidence of it, and no mechanism, and no chemical cause, for what are, after all, subjective effects.

Ed Miliband, who is a stranger both to democracy and to the public was not so stupid that he recognised that his favoured policies had no public support. And so as SoS for DECC he demanded "civil society" summon up a seemingly popular movement like the 60s civil rights movement.
The problem for Ed is that, even then, almost the entirety of UK 'civil society' had been bought and owned by a small group of "philanthropic" foundations: the charity wings of billionaires' and corporations PR teams.

They even fund his own think tank, @Cmmonwealth.
Ed Miliband's story reflects the decline of the Labour Party. It was blobs, not the public that instructed the party that once claimed to represent the working class.

The likes of Miliband never once thought to check their agendas against the public mood.

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.

More nature worship.

Our lives do not depend on 'nature'.

Our lives as they are depend on society. It's not 'nature' that gives me food & electricity. It's a supermarket and an energy co.
Environmentalism is a dangerous ideology that, by demanding we increase our dependence on nature, will make us more vulnerable to its changes and whims.

These people are nuts, and have no idea how society relates to 'nature'.
"Ah, but", says the green, "the stuff they sell in the supermarket comes from nature".

No. The stuff sold in the supermarket was produced by a farmer. He battled nature, day and night, using skills developed over thousands of years, to cope with its changes and insults.

Speakers get extra points for traditional costume in the performance at @COP26.

It adds the impression of authenticity to an entirely contrived process that absolutely lacks it, you see.
Here's another one... The whitest colonialised peoples on Earth. If you passed them on the street, you'd not notice them. And if you heard them talk, you'd think they were just bog-standard middle class people, perhaps low-level academics...

But they are, they claim, the downtrodden, dispossessed, landless, tribal people's of the third world.
