Wednesday-Thursday blog
What to say about yesterday? There were two events showing that climate-catastrophist lunacy is totally out of control. These two events were:
- March – “hottest on record” lies
- European Courth of Human Rights ruling that governments have a duty to protect their citizens from the (non-existent) negative effects of (non-existent) human-caused climate change
March – “hottest on record” lies
Much of the mainstream media reported yesterday that March had been the “hottest on record”. This is utter nonsense for many reasons including:
- It’s questionable whether you can establish an average temperature for the Earth
- Even if you could, this would have been impossible prior to the launch of satellites in the mid-1970s as, before then, temperatures were not even measured in most of the world
- The chart used by the lying climate catastrophists at the BBC and Sky News and the Guardian started at around 1940. In fact, the hottest period in the last 100 years was in the 1920s and 1930s. In places where there was measurement of temperatures, the Earth cooled from the 1940s through to the end of the 1970s and then started warming again. The climate catastrophists at the BBC and the Guardian and other mainstream media seem to have forgotten that in the mid-1970s the Guardian predicted the start of a new Ice Age:

- So by cutting out the boiling hot 1920s and 1930s and starting their charts in 1940, the prostitutes-for-sale (sorry, I meant ‘scientists’) could create the impression that temperature are at record levels
- The claim that more forests have been destroyed by fire is also a lie enabled by once again cutting out what actually happened in the boiling hot 1920s and 1930s:

- I could go on, but all of this and much much more is covered in excruciating detail in my latest book THERE IS NO CLIMATE CRISIS

The bottom line is that the claim March has been “the hottest ever recorded” is a pack of lies.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling
Much more sinister for us than the lie that March has been “the hottest on record” is the ruling made yesterday by the ECHR that, under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (1950), the 46 Council of Europe member countries which have signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights have a duty to protect their populations from the supposedly ‘devastating effects’ of supposed ‘anthropogenic climate change’. Here’s the story covered by the Daily Mail which will save me repeating it here:
This is madness on steroids:
- Human-caused climate change isn’t happening. In fact we are emerging from a ‘CO2 drought’. Atmospheric CO2 has risen in the last century from an infintessimally-small 300 parts per million (ppm) to an almost equally negligible 413 ppm. If CO2 had fallen to near 250 ppm, much of the Earth’s plant life would have died and, along with that, most animals and even our ancestors. An ideal level of atmospheric CO2 is probably around 1,000 ppm though, during some of the Earth’s most fertile periods, it was over 2,000 ppm and the Earth didn’t experience what United Nations (IMHO) idiotic Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, called “global boiling”.
- The ruling opens the floodgates for a tsunami of legal actions against the 46 Western governments which are members of the Council of Europe. Every time a new power station is mooted or the life of an existing power station is extended or some new buildings are proposed or even a new road is planned, the climate catastrophists will be able to launch a legal challenge using the precedent of yesterday’s ECHR ruling to argue that this will contribute to supposed anthropogenic climate change and thus infringe Article 8 of people’s human rights
I thought the ever-more-woke Western world had lost its marbles when we were bludgeoned into pretending we believed that a man with a penis and testicles in a frock was a woman. But yesterday’s two victories for the deluded climate catastrophists show that there really is no hope for us. Maybe we should all move to Russia or China where they know that all this stuff is total b*ll*cks?
Now we know exactly why none of our ‘Leaders’ will ever allow the UK to quit the criminal-and-terrorist-loving, globalist ECHR.
One notes that nobody has ever voted for any of the globalist apparatchiks who make up the ECHR, yet it has somehow taken to itself the power to over-rule the laws and regulations passed by elected governments.
Voting in the UK has finally become totally meaningless not only because all the mainstream political parties have identical globalist policies, but because even if they didn’t the ECHR apparently has the power to strike out any government measures that it disapproves of.
Yet it’s only now that voters have to produce identification before they’re allowed to scrawl a meaningless, futile X on a ballot paper.
LBC interview Andrew Marr with lord sumption this morning saying we should leave:

Suella Braverman wanted to set aside these treaties and was overruled by Rishi. You can either be a sovereign nation or globalist but not both.
“The climate must be perfect all the year.
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.” etc
Has Camelot been shown on TV recently? It looks as though many people now think it is real life.
As you say this is lunacy and most of life seems to be heading this way. When climate alarmists appear on TV it is just like listening to an unstoppable memory dump. There is no possibility of getting them to provide evidence. The science is fixed has worked.
None of this would have any impact if it wasn’t for the banking system providing worthless printed money to finance schemes to support the lunacy. The bankers and investment companies don’t care about the outcome provided that they make money. It is the banking system that has to be sorted and all this would end. Only the politicians can do this and they are the biggest lunatics of all.
I saw a quote from Thomas Sowell earlier: “The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible only liars can satisfy.”
