If the warming rate were to rise by as much as half thereafter and were to persist throughout the remainder of the century, warming of little more than 1.1 K would have occurred by 2100. If the warming were to resume immediately at the mean rate of 0.14 K decade –1 observed in the past 30 years, by 2035 only 0.28 K warming would have occurred. There has been no global warming this century. Here it is.ĭeferment of the date of onset of net welfare loss It has been much repeated, though on the evidence I don’t suppose anybody in the Romper Room at the Department of Climate Madness has learned to read yet, so they won’t have seen it. In September’s Energy and Environment, in a paper outlining the many errors of the IPCC, I included a short account of the “economics” of the toddlers’ subsidies to electric vehicles. On past form, I had anticipated something as half-witted as this. All cars are to become electric by the 2040s. What is worse, not only gas but also gasoline is to be phased out. The pinstripe-suited voice quivering down the telephone conveyed ill-concealed impatience at the increasingly bizarre conduct of the Children’s Coalition. When I asked Rolls Royce whether, in these circumstances, they planned to enter the thrusting new UK market for civilian nuclear electricity generation, I got a curt – and understandable – No. But – insanity upon insanity – the low-spec, civilian-grade reactors they are going to buy from Hitachi cost six times as much as the high-spec, military-grade Rolls Royce reactors in our Trident submarines.
Eon timer 1.6 really small install#
They are also going to install 1.2 GW of new nuclear capacity each year (the equivalent of two nuclear submarines). To pay for it, they will charge the average household an extra $400 a year on top of the massive energy price hikes they have already inflicted. The tiny tots are going to expand the network of dismal, unstable, loss-making windmills massively. Already, 60% of Scotland’s landscape has windmills scarring it. Naturally, there will also be a huge capital cost to overstretched taxpayers, as the nation’s extensive and expensive gas network is pointlessly ripped up, as the gas-fired power stations that have only recently replaced a large part of our coal-fired power generation network are torn down, and as the nation is carpeted with useless, bird-blending, bat-blatting windmills. By Government fiat, those households will soon be compelled to switch to far more costly and far less efficient electric heating, whether they can afford it or not. About half the nation cooks or heats its home with gas.
Target for completion of this latest insanity – less than two decades from today. For “Ed” is going to abolish the use of natural gas in the industries and homes of Britain. “Ed” Davey, the daftly-titled “Secretary of State for Climate Change”, a “Liberal” “Democrat” cabinet minister in the Children’s Coalition which – thanks in no small part to its suicidal climate policies – has run up a larger debt in five years than all previous British Governments added together, has just announced the kiddiwinks’ latest certifiable policy.īeyond-bankrupt Britain – once the world’s economic powerhouse – has become the world’s economic madhouse. The staggering cost of the near-universal scientific illiteracy to which half a century of Marxist State education has reduced even the governing class is becoming all too painfully apparent. Now the red herrings are coming home to roost. The majority was one of the largest for any Act of Parliament. On the very evening when the first October snow in 74 years was falling outside in Parliament Square, the Mother of Parliaments went gaga and nodded through the Climate Change Act 2008 – aptly described as the least justifiable and most expensive law ever to be inflicted on the British people –with only three gallant dissenters. The Children’s Coalition’s insane war on natural gas
