The UK’s reckless and futile “Net Zero” policy is not only going to cost
taxpayers trillions of pounds to implement an unreliable energy supply
but it is also going to cost lives.
“In a sub-4-degree winter,
even one blackout will be catastrophic for tens of thousands of our most
vulnerable citizens. One lasting for several days would be a national
emergency, requiring the mobilisation of the armed forces to move them
into community halls with space heaters until power could be restored,”
Richard Lyon writes.
Net Zero is killing our country.
Not
long ago, the UK’s Office for National Statistics (“ONS”) asked an
interesting question: how has climate change affected the number of
people who die from temperature-related effects in the UK?1
Their
analysis opened with helpful speculation on scientific topics outside
their area of competence: “Climate change is a substantial threat to
human health in the UK…Heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods and severe
storms – accepted to be linked to climate change – have increased
globally in recent years. The Met Office found that the period 1991 to
2020 was 0.9 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1961 to 1990 average, while
the 10 warmest years recorded occurred since 2002…Mental health is a
growing concern linked to climate change.”
Of course, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) have found no such
link between human activities and the supposed climate threats they
list2, the majority of Met Office weather stations from which the “10
warmest years” claim originate are discovered to produce “junk” and
“super junk” data under international quality classification criteria3,
and the mental health crisis is the consequence of institutions like the
ONS peddling scientifically illiterate climate misinformation.
The results were horrifying – for climate catastrophists....<<<Read More>>>...
