Trees are now bad, apparently. 🤡 Care to explain why there are ancient boreal forests emerging from beneath receding glacial ice, such as at Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier? How did forests grow there thousands of years ago when CO₂ levels were 50% lower? bioone.org/journals/tree-…

Coral reefs first emerged ~540 million years ago when atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were around 7,000 ppm, and the global average temperature was 10°C warmer. You are parroting anti-science nonsense.

The Port Talbot blast furnace closure is a disaster for the working classes, but the policies that produced it are supported across Westminster, including by Labour. Miliband is only going to deliver more of the same. #CostOfNetZero netzerowatch.com/all-news/milib…
Net zero fans like @SKinnock can hardly complain when those same policies close down major employers. You wanted net zero. You got net zero. Jobs. gbnews.com/news/tata-stee…
20 years ago today, I participated as a member of the Israeli delegation to the Camp David Summit. Holding the foreign policy portfolio in the Prime Minister's Office, I arrived in advance to meet with Sandy Berger and other key officials to prepare for this trilateral gathering.
It is not widely understood that it is almost impossible for renewables to reduce electricity bills. The truth is that renewables have at least six effects on consumer prices, none of them good. This thread explains...
Net-zero: the lies they tell turbulenttimes.co.uk/news/front-pag…
Keir Starmer says "If we want lower bills, good jobs, and energy security then the path is obvious: a national mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower by 2030. It will require the government to lead. It will require big planning changes. It will require doing things…
During the referendum when I argued we should remain in the EEA, I learned more than I ever wished to know about the function (and functioning) of regulation. On paper, a lot of the EU's single market systems look very sensible and it's easy to see how policy wonks get carried…
Amazing. The wind fleet is producing very little power, and we are still paying them to switch off.
So far this year, the Hornsea 1 offshore windfarm has had a quarter of a billion pounds in subsidy from electricity consumers. £245,413,261 to be precise. #CostOfNetZero
During the referendum, and for some time after, I made the case that there was no escaping the EU's regulatory orbit, and divergence would be difficult and, in many cases, undesirable. That remains true to a point. Businesses do not like regulatory change. It gets expensive. It…
This perspective reflects a common but very naive concept of risk as related to the highly complex climate system and its interactions with socioeconomic systems. Educate yourself by reading my book Climate Uncertainty and Risk.

For reasons that escape me, #Brexit is trending today. I haven't looked in on it for a while but I'm not in the least bit surprised to see it's the usual mewling from the same narrow band of bad faith actors with FBPE hashtags. Their entire output is one long protracted whinge.…
I suspect the real story of #Brexit will never be told. For reasons that escape me, history in this case is written by the losers. They seem very keen to airbrush out the indicative votes in which Theresa May had been forced to turn over the decision to parliament. When given…
Green wonks make up fairy tales like "wind energy is nine times cheaper" because we're cursed with remarkably thick MPs who actually believe it. They're still promoting that lie even though the wind industry has entered a death spiral, and the only way to keep it even on life…
The first flight of the SR-71 took place just seven years after the US Air Force retired its last P-51 Mustang. Let that sink in for a minute.
Here’s what you need to know about Net Zero: Decarbonising the grid is very expensive. Doing so will not impact the climate. Nobody will follow Britain’s lead. It will make your energy bills more expensive on a permanent basis. For every job it creates in the energy sector, it…

The fact is that if Frank Field were seeking selection for a winnable seat nowadays, he would have no chance. Neither the LP centrally nor members locally are looking for independence of mind, ability or moral integrity. They want people who are slaves to their own prejudices
It still amazes me that, for most progressives, the traditions and identity of indigenous peoples - Maori, Aboriginal Australians, First Nations etc - are sacred and to be protected - but in the case of western populations, the same things are to be derided & undermined.
For 30 years the BBC has failed to question the absurd proposition that 'SCIENCE' supports climate alarm. In fact they have done everything to promote and defend this lie. Ofcom has done the same. We must demand the abolition of both the BBC and Ofcom.
Another indication that Britain simply isn't a serious country.
Someone messaged me on LinkedIn to say that @ELPinchbeck is being lined up to be the next CEO at the Climate Change Committee. If true (and I have no idea if it is or not), then it would be yet another demonstration that the Conservatives are not serious about energy policy.
