This is a riveting read, an energising one, pulling so many threads together, and drawing out what can be done against the malevolent 'blob'. I'll be re reading it!

The I.P.C.C and the infamous "97% of all scientists agree" myth have done more harm to public-facing science in the last quarter century than any other body in history (including Covid-19).

People need to read Geoffrey Parker: 'Global Crisis'. Cold arising out of grand solar minimum (beyond the control of Miliband) kills way more people via starvation and disease than slightly raised surface temperatures.

There is a LOAD of stuff that can be done to mitigate urban heat islands, better and more efficient transportation solutions, water recycling, sustainable re-use of materials and a whole raft of other activity.

The Labour Party will glee in printing more money than ever before in human history to 'prove' their 'plan' works. It won't.

I remember the Labour Party's eco-element to their 2015 and 2019 manifestos. Nothing short of amateur night - both times.

They are like most #Uniparty mouthpieces - there are there to nudge, scare and push up taxes.

They don't have a truly rational / sustainable atom amongst them.

Lighter color roofing and use of radiant barrier foils can do much to increase comfort and reduce summer peak energy use. Just don't let them bullshit you with a new round of climate certified roofing (CCR). You pay for the stamp and for government market interference.

Thank you for this, interesting read, and restores some hope.

"Rise like Lions after slumber

In unvanquishable number -

Shake your chains to earth like dew

Which in sleep had fallen on you

Ye are many - they are few"

Shelley was saying the same thing a couple of centuries ago!

On lies about these days being CO2 anthropogenic driven.

The Hunga Tonga‐Hunga Ha'apai Hydration of the Stratosphere

Abstract

Following the 15 January 2022 Hunga Tonga‐Hunga Ha'apai eruption, several trace gases measured by the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) displayed anomalous stratospheric values. Trajectories and radiance simulations confirm that the H2O, SO2, and HCl enhancements were injected by the eruption. In comparison with those from previous eruptions, the SO2 and HCl mass injections were unexceptional, although they reached higher altitudes. In contrast, the H2O injection was unprecedented in both magnitude (far exceeding any previous values in the 17‐year MLS record) and altitude (penetrating into the mesosphere). We estimate the mass of H2O injected into the stratosphere to be 146 ± 5 Tg, or ∼10% of the stratospheric burden. It may take several years for the H2O plume to dissipate. This eruption could impact climate not through surface cooling due to sulfate aerosols, but rather through surface warming due to the radiative forcing from the excess stratospheric H2O.

There is the elephant in the room that is rarely dealt with in any political commentary concerning Britain - the monarchy.

The British have long been encouraged to think they have a democracy & the monarchy is a ‘constitutional’ one, a sideshow for the tourists.

In reality the British have always lived within a feudal system where the monarch holds ultimate power cleverly disguised.

Even now a princess is being held prisoner in the tower by the monarch & his heir, & most Britons are as ever blissfully unaware. If that’s not a demonstration of feudal power able to work under a cloak of secrecy, I don’t what is.

An excellent piece of work. Thanks Ben.

Sorry to pour cold water on your optimism, but Labour’s proposed constitutional reforms - if they come to fruition - will make all future elections pointless. British democracy is on its last legs.

Farage came back because he knows he can win, and do that tomorrow.

I think the Uniparty, MSM, Social Media ALSO know. Today has seen the coordinated and massive assaults by all of the above escalate from yesterday.

Even Youtube - they emailed within the hour saying they'd closed my account. Why? Because every time the lie 'Reform can't win' Appeared, I posted data from the BBC (which it hasn't referred to ONCE this campaign) showing that Reform could win the 400+ seats with Brexiteer majorities.

That was 'spam' apparently , the lies's appear to remain there, they aren't spam

Reform will win, AND win big tomorrow if only Brexiteers vote for them. Disillusionaed Real Women, and conservatives could put the landslide, I believe there will be a Boris sized one, but it could be in numbers unheard of in centuries.

Section 2 a i of the Climate Change Act lays bare the fraud of the whole thing. Changes in scientific knowledge are not sufficient; science must be verified in the context of application to the real world, that a phenomena is repeatably observed with the correct precision. The temperature record fails at that. They are essentially reading tea leaves and then forcing real change due to an extra tea leaf.

Section 2 of the 2006 Fraud Act is quite clear. If you knowingly inflict harm (including monetary harm) based off something you know not to be true it is fraud. Because politicians and many have outsourced their thinking to an academic political movement called the IPCC it still does not void the task of verification of a phenomenon. You build a new plane and you can show all the models and physics that it works? Good luck getting any authorisation unless you fly it.

Thank you Ben for a fine discourse. But don't waste your valuable time on the Kabuki Theatre of politics which changes nothing - net zero or whatever. The bankers are in control and they declared war in 2020 - showing their hand Big Time. Now is the time for The People (the silent majority) to enter the fray: (paywall) https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-preface?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

After a year, nothing much has changed, except we are nearer now to an apocalypse than ever before:
