Indoctrina­tion of global warming

-

LITTLE has been heard since Cop27 finished, and I’m not surprised.

It would appear that the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C is out of reach, according to climate scientists. Dr Stephanie Hirmer, a senior researcher in climate compatibil­ity at Oxford University, said: “While everyone knows the 1.5C target is off the table, it is not openly discussed in official sessions.”

Dr James Dyker, from the University of Exeter’s Global

Systems Institute, said: “I struggle to understand how anyone can continue to argue that 1.5C is still alive”. He goes on to say: “I certainly don’t believe any politician­s involved in Cop27 have any intentions of implementi­ng the transforma­tive policies that 1.5C now demands”.

Even Professor Richard Betts, from the University of Exeter and the Met Office, said: “I would be astounded if internatio­nal action was ramped up fast enough to avoid 1.5C global warming being exceeded within the next decade or two.”

As I wrote in a previous letter; the Government’s independen­t climate advisory body, the Climate Change Committee, estimates that eliminatin­g net greenhouse gas emissions from the UK will cost £1.4 trillion by 2050. That is equivalent to £1,700 a year on average for every household.

What on earth are we paying for? Even the pro-global warming scientists have given up on their goal of trying to control the Earth’s temperatur­e. We do not need the scientific method to see what is going on; the catastroph­ic doom and gloom global warming bandwagon has run out of steam.

We have always had cycles of hot and cold climate change; so we need to apply good old fashioned common sense in this matter. We need to pull the plug on those profiting from the global warming agenda, question their “expert science”, and take their indoctrina­tion with a pinch of salt.
