BY BRIAN MONTEITH Last Sunday was World Rainforest Day – who knew? Not many I suspect. Such the plethora of special days, weeks and months that you cannot be expected to know them all. And with Mothering Sunday and Father’s Day marked differently from one country to the next the days are not even universal. So don’t feel guilty about not knowing about World Rainforest … Continue reading Palm Oil Saves Forests
BY ED SAYER The RSPB’s solar farm study is a shameless greenwash—a PR stunt masquerading as science. They brag about ‘three times as many birds’ on solar farms as compared to arable farmland while ignoring the thousands fried alive by solar flux or smashed into panels. Ivanpah alone incinerates 6,000 birds a year, and even standard PV farms kill up to 580 birds annually per … Continue reading RSPB Solar Farm Propaganda Debunked
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN The eco-hypocrite walks among us. You see them in the wild, preaching from their pulpits of purity, their voices ringing with the righteousness of the saved. They speak of carbon footprints, of saving the whales, of the sins of plastic straws and scare little children and lost, middle-aged women with their talk of ‘climate emergency’. And yet, they wear jackets born of … Continue reading The Curious Case of the Eco-Hypocrite
BY ALEXIA JAMES In an age where environmental awareness has reached fever pitch, consumers are eager to invest in sustainable products and practices. However, this drive for eco-friendliness has, unfortunately, given rise to a shadowy world of ‘green scammers’—individuals and corporations that exploit the noble intentions of the environmentally conscious to deceive and profit. The genuine efforts of activists and consumers seeking to make a … Continue reading Green Scammers
BY IAN MITCHELL Revealing a climate scientist who believed in a new ice age, and why, despite the fact that he went on to become one of the most celebrated cheerleaders for global warming. Anyone tempted to believe the hysterical warnings of imminent environmental collapse put out by Ed Miliband MP or Gillian Martin MSP would do well to read this book: The Genesis Strategy: Climate … Continue reading When the End of the World was Nigh
BY MARK KEENAN In Sweden there exists an electrified road for Electric Vehicles (EVs) to charge while driving[1]. The 2 km stretch of road is the world’s first of its kind, and an expansion of a further 3,000 km of electric road by 2045 is planned. It all sounds rather cool and futuristic, and I am reminded of a song lyric from the 1980s, the singer … Continue reading Driving an Electric Car is Fake Environmentalism
BY NIALL McCRAE The founding fathers of the Green revolution are not well-known. Despite their instrumental role in environmental catastrophism and the Net Zero imperative, mention their names on the Clapham Omnibus and you will get a blank look. They have mostly worked off the margins of public attention to instil the structures and systems of a global coup d’état. Their project was never really … Continue reading The Terrible Ten
BY JANET LONGLEY In the quest to mitigate climate change, carbon credits have emerged as a popular tool. These credits allow companies to offset their carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce carbon elsewhere. However, the efficacy and integrity of carbon credits have been hotly debated. Proponents argue that carbon credits can drive significant environmental benefits. For instance, projects funded by carbon credits can … Continue reading Are Carbon Credits Just a Scam?
British farmers are fed up to the back teeth of forever getting it in the neck from armchair townie luvvies of the shrill Packham and Monbiot variety who bang on about the desperate need for overnight Net Zero and other policies with unintended consequences, claiming that British farms are massive polluters. They try to force rewilding on the UK which will achieve nothing for global … Continue reading Amazon Greened
BY NIALL MCCRAE Drowning in Berlin, mosquito-infested swamps in Michigan, and growing olives on the volcanic slopes of Iceland. It could all be reality soon, if you believe the prophecies of doom by climate change zealots and extinctionists. They tell us to ‘trust the science’, asserting that the ‘science is settled’. As a speaker at the World Economic Forum conference at Davos said, ‘we own … Continue reading Fingers in the Wind
BY ALEX STORY In the UK, temperatures this summer have been normal. Across much of Europe, the weather has been rather damp. There have been some warm spells, of course, but nothing out of the ordinary. To anyone with an understanding of history, this season was very much par for the course. And yet, our media and our leaders have screamed like headless chickens about … Continue reading Manmade Destruction
BY JOE NUTT I have just walked half a mile along a quiet pavement in my local market town. The gusts of wind were strong enough to mean I actually had to make a small physical effort to resist each one as it hit, while sporadic, unpredictable rain drops struck my face hard enough to sting. It was trying hard, but failing to rain. I … Continue reading Earthlings
BY ALEX STORY As Mr Sunak and Mrs Van Der Leyen shook hands on a “historic deal” that will still keep Northern Ireland in the European Union’s regulatory orbit and strip the United Kingdom of her territorial integrity, the facts are now beyond dispute. Our politicians and bureaucrats, the former’s puppet masters, do not work for our common good. In their minds, as we know … Continue reading Wishful Thinking
After our daughter of fifteen years of age was moved to tears by the speech of Greta Thunberg at the UN the other day, she became angry with our generation ‘who had been doing nothing for thirty years’. So, we decided to help her prevent what the girl on TV announced of ‘massive eradication and the disappearance of entire ecosystems’. We are now committed to … Continue reading An Inconvenient Truth
BY JOHN NASH Praise the Lord, Dear Reader! While you have been selfishly hiding in your basement, trying to stay alive by cooking your pets on a fire made of your surplus face-masks and toilet roll stockpile, outside in the glittering firmament of slebworld, the global environment and all of its wildlife have been saved from extinction! It says so on Twitter. Well, that’s according … Continue reading Nature is Saved?
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN Last week, on Earth Day 2022, a gentleman called Wynn Bruce, an American Buddhist, set himself on fire at the US Supreme Court to protest the lack of action on – and lack of education to prepare people for – ‘the climate crisis’. Only one small newspaper reported Bruce’s death as being associated with climate issues. On social media many have been … Continue reading Saint Greta’s Flames
BY ROCHELLE BLAKEMAN “Toil mastered everything, relentless toil And the pressure of pinching poverty… Everything by nature’s law Tends to the worse, slips ever backward, backward.” Virgil, the Georgics As a farmer’s daughter, I was blessed with a bucolic childhood. With only 1% of the UK population being farmers, it is a lucky stroke to have lived my younger years with a closeness to the … Continue reading A Country Girl’s Reflections on Environmentalism
BY DANIEL JUPP The only time my Dad, a working class but aspirational patriot who through hard work rose to a middle management position, ever voted anything but Conservative, he voted Green. It was only once, I think, during the Major years. My Dad loved the countryside. He was a South Londoner but moved out to Essex. When he was a young boy, which would … Continue reading What Does it Mean to be Green?
BY BERNADETTE SPOFFORTH Guest Writer Bernie Spofforth on the inevitable mask mountain Nothing has brought out the worst piousness and virtue signalling in certain sections of society like Covid. These latter-day self-styled saints have shown their do-goodery by wearing their sacrifice like a hair shirt, wilfully oblivious to the collateral damages of Covid restrictions, lockdowns and shifting human behavioural patterns. As COP26 gathers together to … Continue reading Saving the Planet One Mask at a Time
BY JOE NUTT One of the most significant advances in Western culture took place when a handful of Renaissance artists defined the rules for creating the illusion of linear perspective in their work. When painters learned how to mimic reality by following rules, they unknowingly initiated cultural and intellectual innovation on a vast scale. Perspective gave people vision. Our modern day visionaries have lost this … Continue reading Maintaining Our Sense of Perspective
