DEI achieves the opposite of its intended result - it is responsible for the increase in political and racial polarisation of recent years
Why anyone would be surprised by this when it specifically makes race and other immutable characteristics in a supposed hierarchy of oppression the most important factor when considering outcomes, is astonishing
DEI is fundamentally opposed to the tenets of classic liberalism, which says that individual behaviour is the measure by which we should all be judged, regardless of race, religion or sex, and that laws apply equally to everyone
Classical liberalism is what enabled Western democracies to develop, certainly imperfect, but nevertheless the best system by far at promoting human wellbeing and universal human rights, including for minorities
When are we going to wake up and reverse this polarisation ?

EROI (Energy return on energy invested) does not accurately record the energy used in sourcing, manufacturing, transporting, installing, back up, storage, maintenance, or curtailment, all a fundamental part of the cost
When these are included, renewables have a much worse EROI than reliable sources
Worse still, when comparing costs between renewables and reliable sources, all these extra costs are included on the reliable side, rather than the renewable, where they belong, so it doubles the perceived advantage in relation to these costs
With 85% of global energy fossil fuel powered, the more renewables you add, the more fossil fuels you need - it is mathematically unavoidable, at least in the short and medium term.
We are being misled about all of this, need transparency about true cost, and the inevitable fact that more renewables = more fossil fuels. Long term reductions rely on not yet invented technology- ie wishful thinking
What isn’t explained about clean energy is that for every windmill or solar panel added to the grid, you need reliable back up
The cost of this is not included in comparisons
Neither is the cost of curtailment, when energy companies are paid not to generate, because the grid can’t handle it
Neither is the cost of necessary grid upgrades, transmission lines etc
The most expensive cheap solution in history, being sold to us with blatant lies
Why do the BBC and other mainstream media use Hamas press releases as if they were credible, reliable sources
Instead of reminding the public every time that it is a proscribed terror organisation, with a well documented history of appalling brutality and summary executions of its own ppl, with a political and religious imperative of martyrdom, including for its children ?
It appears to be the most basic lack of impartiality
Mainstream media have a lot to answer for
Question for net zero zealots
During Covid lockdowns, man made Co2 declined by 7 %
To put this in perspective, this was the equivalent of the entire EU (27 countries, 500 million pop) shutting down, completely for a year, with zero emissions
Meanwhile, the rise is Co2 concentration has not halted or slowed its rise or acceleration at all, as measured at Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii
Actual progress towards net zero is negative; now 50 % higher than when targets were set.
Those countries that have reduced emissions have done so at a tiny fraction of the rate achieved during Covid, for which there is zero evidence of any impact at all.
So when will we see the tangible benefits of the eye wateringly expensive net zero policies that have so far achieved less than nothing ?
If you plot the most intense periods of flooding in the last 500 years in the 10 most significant European flood basins, none of them register in the last 100 years
In central Europe the most intense period was 1850-1900, exactly the period climate alarmists want to return to 🤔

Another woman in Iran faces execution for defending human rights. Women's rights activist Sharifeh Mohammadi has been sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court in a sham retrial solely for her peaceful activism. She has been subjected to torture and inhumane treatment and now faces the ultimate injustice. Please share her story.

Following my meeting on Monday with the Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP my open letter to her is below and here:

At this moment, total primary power in the UK is provided 98% by reliable sources, mostly fossil fuels, and 2% by renewables. See chart below - electricity is only 20% of overall energy need
To understand the difference the reliable sources make, just imagine deleting 98% of everything you own and everything you do; possessions, home, clothes, health, education- only possible with reliable energy. You’ll be straight back to the Stone Age.
To all Net Zero climate alarmists and @Ed_Miliband
The harm your policies are doing is incalculable, and holds back those that need energy most

Net Zero Global Report since Kyoto 1997
Cost 150 Trillion $ (5 x total global GDP)
Fossil Fuel use 55% increase & growing
Co2 emissions 50% increase & growing
FF % of energy 1997 - 86%
FF % of energy 2024 - 82%
If this is good policy, what does bad policy look like ?
Whatever the truth about global warming, it is very unwise not to have in depth discussions about the best ways to promote human flourishing and look after our environment
Attempts to achieve emissions reductions have achieved nothing whatsoever. Global emissions are 50% higher than 20 years ago, still accelerating, and fossil fuels still power 82% of human activity, only a 4% pro rata reduction over 20 years
Alarmist predictions are nonsense - deaths from climatic events have dropped by almost 100% over the last 100 years, entirely due to adaptation, the thing humans are best at. And none of the constant stream of doomsday predictions have come true or even move in that direction
The eye watering cost of net zero is deindustrialised economic disaster, until renewables can do the same job as dispatchable sources, 24/7, for a comparable cost
Of all the possible causes of climate change, Co2 is the only one linked to every aspect of human activity, thereby handing over total political control over everything we are allowed to do - an authoritarian dream
The blind rush to net zero has achieved nothing other than; fewer jobs and wealth, deindustrialisation, offshoring of emissions to countries like China who are going at a different pace, weakened economies with higher cost of living, gifted economic and political advantage to countries who do not mean the West well.
It is a massive and ill advised mis-allocation of resources
Net Zero explained
The little white box you can hardly see in the top right of this picture is the climate control knob
If we can keep it at that size, and not allow it to increase at all - even by 2 parts per million per year, we can overcome planetary scale events, ice ages, solar radiation, and control the temperature and save humanity and the planet.
I also have an interesting business proposition for you from my cousin in Nigeria - please send bank details
The Chinese have many of the best scientists and engineers in the world, and the unfettered government power to do exactly as they please.
If renewables are cheaper and better why does their investment in and use of fossil fuels look like this ?
Stupid or very smart ?
The overwhelming consensus of climate scientists and journalists is that 99% agree they want to keep their jobs and funding

Name one example in history where the side advocating censorship was on the right side of the argument
If your reasoning is good and your facts correct, you don’t need to censor
The fact you are advocating for it throws doubt on both your reasoning and facts
