Suffering the rising cost of energy

AS THEY face greatly increased energy bills ordinary people are beginning to realise that there will be an immense cost to acceding to the demands of the Green lobby.

The political class continue to put virtue signalling above the welfare of the population.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is the main cheerleader for the Greens, nevertheless admitted in 2018 that “the climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.”

The intention to phase out all fossil fuel consumption in 30 years is the biggest threat to civilisation in the world today. Some want us to give up 80 per cent of our total energy supply, currently provided by reliable, cost-effective fossil fuels, and replace it with unreliable expensive forms of energy like wind and solar. The environment extremists must be ignored if we are to have a viable future.
