The FAKE NEWS New York Times continues to push their CLIMATE CULT PONZI SCHEME agenda with fake energy stats and climate lies

 While record-cool temperatures spread across the USA this August, the globalists and Leftists want everyone to keep the faith that the earth is burning up and we’ll all burst into flames next year if we don’t give all our money to the Climate Cult.

The New York Times (NYT), long regarded as a leading source of fact-checked journalism, has increasingly published inaccurate and misleading information on energy and climate issues. More troubling, when such errors are pointed out, the paper frequently refuses to issue substantive corrections or instead provides evasive revisions that obscure the truth. This pattern undermines the paper’s stated corrections policy and risks eroding readers’ trust across all coverage, not just energy and climate.

NYT publishes inaccurate energy and climate data – Multiple articles contained false claims, such as overstating China’s renewable transition, misidentifying the world’s top fossil fuel producer, and exaggerating U.S. renewable electricity generation.

Historical distortions weaken reporting – Coverage of electric vehicles misrepresented their early 20th-century decline, ignoring clear data that EVs were already obsolete well before oil tax policy changes of 1926.

Corrections policy is inconsistently applied – While the NYT quickly fixes minor errors (like names or dates), it often stonewalls or obfuscates when substantive factual inaccuracies are flagged, undermining trust in its reporting.

Erosion of journalistic integrity – By mixing opinion with misreported data and refusing to acknowledge major mistakes, the NYT damages its credibility on energy and climate topics, leaving readers misinformed and doubting the paper’s standards....<<<Read More>>>...

Food for Thought #748

 

The Truth About Britain’s Wildfires

 As you can see, about three quarters of the wildfire areas to date occurred in February and March, which as we know were very dry months this year. Clearly, however, this cannot be blamed on climate change because the Met Office keep telling us that winters are supposed to be getting wetter as a result!

But more to the point, that big spike in the first week of April was accounted for by a series of gigantic fires in the Mountains of Mourne, believed to have been started deliberately:

Since that outbreak, nothing out of the ordinary has occurred.

But behind all of this data, a real problem seems to be emerging, which has been picked up on X

Labour’s rewilding plans risk sparking a surge in wildfires across Britain, gamekeepers have claimed.

The Government is proposing to ban winter burning – a traditional upland management technique that reduces the amount of fuel for potential fires – from more than half of all peatland in England.

It is claimed the changes will help to “re-wet” Britain’s peat bogs, reduce the risk of wildfires and cut carbon emissions.

Environmentalists want to preserve peat bogs because they soak up vast quantities of carbon. But landowners and gamekeepers have claimed that, far from protecting the environment, the burning restrictions will instead leave Britain’s moors and heaths at the mercy of wildfires that will be “too large to fight”....<<<Read More>>>....

Net Zero advocates propose ticks to induce red meat allergy as climate solution sparking backlash

 Welcome to the fear factory. Welcome to the pantomime. Welcome to total madness being delivered here in the pantomime. Just like the unpopular school bully who has to resort to underhand tactics to get its own way ....

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Two ethics professors at Western Michigan University’s Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, have ignited outrage with a peer-reviewed paper proposing the deliberate promotion of ticks to trigger alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)—a red-meat allergy—to reduce meat consumption and combat climate change. Published in Bioethics, their “Beneficial Bloodsucking” argument frames AGS as a “moral bioenhancer,” asserting that inducing allergies to cattle, pigs and lambs could ethically “prioritize planetary health over personal choice.” The controversial stance has drawn sharp criticism, with opponents calling it a dangerous confluence of pseudo-science and ideological overreach.

Crutchfield and Hereth argue that since consuming meat is “morally impermissible” due to climate impacts, policy should support proliferating lone star ticks (the primary vector for AGS) to deter meat-eating by causing allergic reactions. They advocate genetic editing of ticks to enhance their ability to transmit alpha-gal, the sugar molecule in tick saliva that triggers AGS. The paper states: “If promoting tickborne AGS prevents the world from becoming a significantly worse place, it is pro tanto obligatory.”

The idea hinges on three premises: It avoids infringing rights, promotes “virtuous” behavior (meat reduction) and combats climate change. However, critics dismiss these claims as reckless, noting AGS’s severe health risks. Unlike food allergies alone, AGS can cause fatal reactions to common medications containing alpha-gal, such as the cancer drug cetuximab and the anticoagulant heparin. At least 10 deaths linked to alpha-gal reactions have been recorded, most via medical products—not food....<<<Read More>>>...

Net Zero: Ed Miliband’s Ponzi scheme

The Net Zero agenda is a Ponzi scheme. Each stage is an abject failure, leading to further grandiose and costly initiatives.

The UK’s attempts to reduce hydrocarbon fuel use have led to importing energy from elsewhere, and initiatives like wind turbines and solar panels have proven virtually useless. The proposed solutions, such as capturing energy from wind turbines and solar panels using batteries, are impractical and will lead to further environmental and economic problems.

The only beneficiaries of “Net Zero” are those who set up the scheme.

I don’t know if children still learn the cumulative rhyme about the old lady who swallowed a fly. Perhaps not, as it could be seen as advocating the exploitation of animals. In case you have forgotten, it goes like this:

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly – perhaps she’ll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly – perhaps she’ll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider…

And on it goes until, in pursuit of the last animal she swallowed, she swallows a cat, a dog, a goat, a cow and a horse. And dies.

I don’t know if our teachers realised, but they were teaching us about a Ponzi scheme where nothing of real value is independently generated, ending in a zero-sum game for investors and profiting only those who set up the scheme.

A similar thing is happening with the Net Zero agenda. Each stage in the agenda is an abject failure; therefore, further and more grandiose stages must be dreamed up with the promise of success. Eventually, people must see through this for the con that it is. But probably too late. We’ll have spent all our money on useless initiatives, our country will be in energy deficit, and our industry – what is left of it – will collapse in the wake of spiralling costs.

It all starts with the maniacal obsession with carbon dioxide emissions and the false belief that this leads to global warming, global warming leads to polar ice caps melting, rising seas and rising temperatures, old folks die, deserts are created and we must all carry an extra water bottle and stay indoors. Sounds terrifying but, as the film ‘Climate: The Movie’ shows, this is all palpable nonsense. Global warming precedes rising carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide – needed by plants for growth – is good for the planet.

Enter the Net Zero obsession which preoccupies so much parliamentary time and leads to so many international COP forums. In fact, the problem of global emissions is so serious that all the attendees, just as they do at Davos, must bring their own private jets with them....<<<Read More>>>...

Trump EPA proposes stripping greenhouse gases from list of regulated pollutants

 The Trump administration is proposing to revoke the EPA's 2009 "endangerment finding," which classified greenhouse gases (like CO? and methane) as pollutants under the Clean Air Act, enabling federal climate regulations.

The administration argues that current climate policies are economically burdensome, based on "dubious science" and represent "climate hysteria." Officials claim the proposed changes will restore economic freedom by reducing compliance costs and energy regulations.

The proposal rejects mainstream climate science, dismissing links between CO? emissions and extreme weather. It cites geologic records to argue warming is part of natural cycles, contradicting peer-reviewed research and consensus from NASA, NOAA and the IPCC.

Scientists and environmental groups warn that revoking the endangerment finding would eliminate the legal basis for climate action, endangering public health and ecosystems. States like California and legal challenges are expected to resist the rollback.

This represents the most significant reversal of federal climate policy since 2009, testing the EPA's authority and the U.S.'s commitment to addressing climate change amid global calls for urgent action...<<<Read More>>>...

More than 60% of global warming since 2001 has been due to lower pollution, UK researchers say

 An analysis of CERES data from 2001 to 2019 suggests that the biggest factor in global warming since 2001 is a reduction in sulphur dioxide (SO2) pollution and not an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

Researchers from the University of Exeter have found that a reduction in atmospheric SO2 has caused clouds to become darker, resulting in less solar radiation being reflected into space, leading to global warming.

At the Exeter Climate Conference earlier this month, University of Exeter researchers Professor Peter Cox and Margaux Marchant presented their initial findings of their analysis of CERES data, the New Scientist reported last week.

Peter Cox is Professor of Climate System Dynamics in Mathematics and the Director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. He is a lead author on the 4th, 5th and 6th Assessment Reports of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) and a member of the UK Government’s Defra Scientific Advisory Council.

Since 2001, satellite instruments known as CERES have been measuring the amount of sunlight that is reflected into space compared to the amount that is absorbed by the Earth. These measurements indicate a decline in the planet’s albedo, the Earth’s ability to reflect solar radiation. As a result, the Earth is becoming darker, leading to additional warming...<<<Read More>>>...

Normal summer heatwave used as CHUM by the CLIMATE CULT to control the populace in Europe and take their money

Despite record-breaking heatwaves scorching much of Europe and North America, public support for climate action appears to be weakening rather than intensifying. A recent report from The Guardian reveals that voters across the UK and Europe are increasingly tolerant of political rollbacks on green policies — even as extreme weather events, driven by climate change, become more deadly and frequent.

Heatwaves Failing to Mobilize Climate Action: Despite record temperatures across Europe, including highs of 42 C in Spain, public concern about climate change remains muted. Many, like retiree Julie from Essex, acknowledge worsening summers but express skepticism about the government's ability — or willingness — to act meaningfully on emissions.

Climate Concern Falling Down Public Priorities: Polling data shows a decline in public concern for climate change in the UK, with support for net zero emissions by 2050 dropping from 62 to 46 percent. Climate issues now rank low compared to cost of living, healthcare, and immigration, reflecting shifting priorities amid growing economic hardship.

Rise of Populist Climate Skepticism: Right-wing populist parties like Reform UK in Britain and far-right groups across Europe are gaining ground, openly opposing climate policies even in regions vulnerable to floods and fires. Many of their supporters tolerate, or even embrace, rollbacks of green regulations, viewing them as economically disruptive.

Climate Policy as a ‘Self-Limiting’ Effort: Observers suggest climate action is only politically sustainable until it imposes visible economic or social costs. As living conditions worsen, especially in the UK, people are increasingly prioritizing immediate survival over long-term climate goals — even as the environmental toll continues to rise....<<<Read More>>>...

UN Human Rights Council Demands Criminalisation of Climate Scepticism Worldwide

 There can be no doubt that the global green movement is getting nervous. Its signs of desperation are not owed to the ‘fact’ of a warming planet signalling our imminent doom, but much more to the actual facts that despite any warming, humanity is thriving, and that worse – far worse – people are discussing it. 

The claims of ideological orthodoxies of all kinds championed by the United Nations, not just climate, are now being challenged by people on social media, and even in mainstream news media. And in response, the global ‘censorship industrial complex‘, as it has been dubbed, is mobilising to shut down those conversations. 

The problem is that, the more they shift towards draconian interventions, the more they unwittingly signal their inability to understand the debates they wish to proscribe.

At the end of June, the UN Human Rights Council published a report by the agency’s “Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change”, Elisa Morgera. After moving through the long preamble and its obligatory recitation of the climate litany – unimpeachable science… worst year ever… urgent necessity of climate action… blah blah blah – Morgera eventually arrives at her paradox. In order to protect human rights, human rights must be curtailed....<<<Read More>>>...

CO2 revolutionizes greenhouse farming revolution globally, decentralizing the food supply

 As governments and corporate elites push draconian climate policies—carbon taxes, energy rationing, and forced deindustrialization—the truth about carbon dioxide (CO2) remains buried under layers of fearmongering. While activists scream about an “existential climate crisis,” farmers and scientists are quietly harnessing CO2 to multiply crop yields, defeat famine, and revolutionize agriculture. A groundbreaking study published in Horticulture Research shatters the mainstream narrative, proving that elevated CO2 levels turbocharge plant growth, delivering bountiful harvests in greenhouses worldwide. But don’t expect Al Gore or the UN climate experts to mention this. The climate industrial complex thrives on deception, not solutions. Meanwhile, CO2 is revolutionizing greenhouse farming, decentralizing the food supply, allowing communities to break free from corporate control over their food supply.

Key points:

• CO2 is a plant nutrient, not a "pollutant," and greenhouse growers deliberately inject it (up to 1000 ppm) to boost yields by 80% or more.
• China, Spain, and the U.S. are leading a greenhouse farming revolution, leveraging CO2 to grow food in deserts and urban wastelands—proof that emissions can feed the world.
• While the EPA shuts down power plants in the name of "climate change," farmers beg for more CO2 to combat global food shortages.
• Rising atmospheric CO2 (now ~420 ppm) is replenishing levels that were far higher during Earth’s most fertile epochs—long before SUVs existed.
• The climate cult’s war on CO2 is a war on human survival, sabotaging food security to advance a globalist control agenda....<<<Read More>>>...
  

Met Office Caught Deliberately Choosing an Unrealistic Scenario to Predict Climate Doomsday

 Revved up by the orgy of climate alarmism opportunities supplied by the recent heatwave, the Met Office has taken to making apocalyptic forecasts for the year 2070. In the Telegraph, Matt Ridley takes the national forecaster to task for basing these doomy predictions on modelling even the IPCC rejects. Here’s an excerpt.

The Met Office exists to forecast the weather. But increasingly it seems bored by the day job so it likes to lecture us about climate change. And here it seems to have been embarrassingly duped by activists. Go on its climate pages and you find a forecast for the year 2070, that summers will be between one and six degrees warmer and “up to” 60% drier, depending on the region. A lot of wriggle room in those caveats, note.

Then it admits: “We base these changes on the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario.” Aha! Unbelievably, shockingly, this national forecasting body has chosen as its base case for the future of weather a debunked, highly implausible set of assumptions about the world economy that was never intended to be used this way.

RCP8.5 is one of five projected futures for the world economy this century, dreamt up by economists. Here is what it assumes. First, the world becomes addicted to coal, burning 10 times – yes, 10 times! – as much coal in 2100 as we did in 2000 and even using coal to make fuel for aircraft and cars. Yes: that is really what it says. It projects that fully half of all the world’s energy will be supplied by coal in 2100.

Second, it assumes that the world population will have swelled to 12 billion people by 2100, way more than any demographer thinks is likely. Third, it assumes that innovation will somehow dry up so there’s hardly any new technology to make our lives more fuel-efficient – and we won’t even try to cut emissions. In short, this scenario is barking mad.

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Carbon Brief, an activist website, has to say: “The creators of RCP8.5 had not intended it to represent the most likely ‘business as usual’ outcome. … Its subsequent use as such represents something of a breakdown in communication between energy systems modellers and the climate modelling community.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The climate scaremongers: Summertime and the lying is easy

 ACCORDING to the Environment Agency, England is running out of water. They have just announced that the country faces a shortfall of 6billion litres a day by 2055.

Although they accept that demand is rising with increasing population, one of the main reasons they give is, you guessed it, climate change!

Their report not only claims that summers will be drier, but that these impacts are already being felt. This claim is, however, bogus. Summers are no drier nowadays than they have been since 1840. Neither, for that matter, are they any wetter. We merely see the year-to-year variability we have always seen.

Moreover, across the year as a whole rainfall levels have been trending higher in the last 30 years. Water tables and reservoirs should, in theory, be fuller as a result, not lower.

How do they think they can get away with such bare-faced lies?

They are clearly desperate to deflect attention away from the role that mass immigration is playing in water shortages, even though they now assume population in England will rise by 8million in the next 30 years....<<<Read More>>>....

UK’s Net Zero agenda is right at the top of the tyranny scale

 David Turver argues that the UK’s Net Zero agenda is a far-left, tyrannical project that attacks freedom and is comparable to fascist states.

“If we substitute ‘Net Zero’ for ‘the State’ in Mussolini’s famous quote, we get close to describing the totalitarian Net Zero agenda: ‘Everything within Net Zero, nothing outside Net Zero, nothing against Net Zero’,” he says.

He talks us through how he comes to the conclusion that those advocating for Net Zero dystopia are narcissistic, psychopathic Machiavellians. “We have somehow allowed the very worst people to take charge of most of our lives,” Turver says....<<<Read More>>>....

‘The Agenda: their Vision, Your Future’: The digital prison that awaits us all

“The prophecies made in 1931 [in ‘Brave New World’] are coming true much sooner than I thought they would … The nightmare of total organisation … has emerged … and is now awaiting us, just around the next corner.”—Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 1958

‘The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future’ is a feature-length independent documentary produced by Mark Sharman; former UK broadcasting executive at ITV and Sky (formerly BSkyB).

In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives; omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency and ultimately digital identities. The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real.

The plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of Governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’, or George Orwell’s ‘1984’.

‘The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future’ examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives.

The centrepiece is man-made climate change and with it, the race to Net Zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good? Or “a blank cheque for totalitarian global control”?....<<<Read More>>>...

Basic Physics All at Sea in Sky News Climate Scare Nonsense Story

Possibly one of the dumbest and most scientifically illiterate climate scare stories ever written has been published by the fast-fading UK Sky News. Climate reporter Victoria Seabrook notes that the sea ice on the Arctic “continent” is melting at 12% every decade but she backs it up by publishing a graph clearly showing it has been stable since 2007. She goes on to claim that the Arctic melt will push up sea levels around Britain and fuel worse coastal flooding, seemingly unaware that melting ice in liquid does not raise its level (suggested educational tip, check out ice in a gin and tonic glass). Just for good measure, her silly story throws in the wobbling jet stream and a “shocking” prediction that global temperature could rise by nearly 1°C in just five years.

This story is a classic of its kind – late climate psychosis folderol to back up the collapsing Net Zero fantasy. After decades of relentless mainstream gaslighting, mass audiences are still vaguely concerned that the climate is in some kind of ‘emergency’. Net Zero is retreating around the world, partly because it is increasingly understood that human civilisation cannot abolish the use of hydrocarbons without returning to the dark ages, and partly because nobody is prepared to pay for it when given a choice. But the great climate science con that is the foundation of the collectivist Net Zero lunacy continues, and, if Seabrook’s latest work is an example, it is getting more desperate by the day....<<<Read More>>>...

“Climate risk” hype overstates threats: Real culprits are real estate growth and density

 In an era of escalating insurance premiums and mortgage costs, a controversial new report claims climate change is driving financial risks from extreme weather—a narrative criticized as alarmist and misleading by scientists and economists who say the real culprit is unchecked coastal development. 

CNN’s recent coverage of FirstStreet’s “Climate, the Sixth ‘C’ of Credit” report purports that “climate risk” threatens lending practices and credit scores. But experts argue this framing misrepresents climate science, blends short-term weather events with long-term climate trends, and obscures the economic realities of population growth and inflated property values...<<<Read More>>>...

The giant solar farm the size of Durham: Almost 3,000 acres of glorious Yorkshire countryside are to be carpeted with Chinese panels as tall as a double-decker…

 County Durham is set to welcome a new solar farm after plans were given the green light for a second time, following a legal issue. The solar development will sprawl across approximately 282 acres of land at Hett, near Spennymoor.

Lightsource bp’s proposal initially received approval from Durham County Council’s planning committee in May 2024, but was revisited due to claims that the output capacity of the development was misrepresented.

During a planning meeting on Wednesday, residents voiced their concerns about the large-scale site. Barbara Marinan, who has lived in Hett for 48 years, expressed her reservations: “I consider myself an environmentalist – a supporter of renewables and solar power – but only when approached sensibly. This project is not sensible. ”...<<<Read More>>>...

There is no climate change crisis; there’s a crisis of corrupted politicians and institutions

Record crops and growing ice sheets are empirical evidence that challenge climate alarmists’ orthodoxy. Ignoring this information is not only unscientific but also immoral. The crisis is not in our atmosphere; it’s in corrupted institutions and politicians, Vijay Jayaraj writes.

By Vijay Jayaraj as published by CO2 Coalition on 9 May 2025

Kooky tales about Antarctica abound – including the presence of UFOs, a lost civilisation and a passage to Earth’s interior. All are generally dismissed as absurd. Yet, some widely accepted claims about climate change and ice sheets at the planet’s southernmost end are equally far-fetched.

The world is told daily that rising CO2 levels are melting polar ice, shrinking crop yields and pushing humanity toward extinction. “Institute radical decarbonisation or we’re all dead!” is the cry of our enlightened overlords, as if swapping incandescent bulbs for LEDs and banning gas cars would spare us from their predicted apocalypse. They demand immediate economic hara-kiri to avoid weather predictions based on pseudoscience and outright deception.

Real-world data – from Brazil’s record harvests to the rebound of Antarctica’s ice – expose the climate crusade for the baseless hysteria that it is....<<<Read More>>>...

Trump administration rolls back climate rules in energy freedom reversal

 In a stark reversal of former President Joe Biden’s climate agenda, the Trump administration on Monday removed dozens of energy efficiency regulations targeting household appliances, water systems and industrial equipment, saving consumers over $11 billion and undoing the Biden era’s push to electrify the economy. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) under Secretary Chris Wright scrapped rules that would have restricted sales of gas stoves, dryers and other appliances, arguing the regulations infringed on consumer freedom and hiked costs. 

The action, including the removal of more than 125,000 words from federal codes, is part of a broader strategy to prioritize free markets over climate mandates, marking a historic reduction in regulatory oversight...<<<Read More>>>...
