Ignore Joe Biden’s climate posturing – fossil fuels are here to stay.

Politicians will often boast of their commitment to tackling climate change. Yet their posturing is invariably contradicted by their actions.

US president Joe Biden is perhaps the prime example of this contradictory policymaking. For years, he has been virtue-signalling to the environmental extremists, promising to put an end to the fossil-fuel industry. Yet, while in office, Biden has quietly been undercutting these pledges.

There can be little doubt in any serious person’s mind that Green technology is an unmitigated disaster. It is no longer an issue of Big Oil, which the Leftwaffe is strafing and bombing daily, but of the multi-billion-dollar industry of Big Green, or the Climate-Industrial Complex. The game has changed. As The Epoch Times reports, “a powerful lobby of politicians, scientists, and media pushes climate-related falsehoods into the popular perspective,” to the advantage of Big Business and the attendant cohort of technopreneurs.

The net zero ‘debate’ has revealed a stunning shift in the basic assumptions that underpin Left-wing political thinking

We are living through the most startling political realignment in more than 100 years. Never since the advent of modern socialism in the early 20th century has the Left openly advocated making ordinary people poorer, thereby leaving those on the Right to defend the spread of mass prosperity. The debate (if this tendentious chorus of unanimity can be called a debate) on net zero has entirely shifted the ground on which modern political discourse has been based.

One of the most cited scientists in the world, the Spanish chemist Rafael Luque, has been suspended without pay for the next 13 years, according to Luque himself and the institution where he worked until recently, the University of Córdoba in Spain. The university has sanctioned Luque for working as a researcher at other centers, such as the King Saud University in Riyadh and the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia in Moscow, despite holding a full-time publicly funded contract with the Spanish institution.

A fanatical obsession with congestion charges, low traffic zones and electric cars is ignoring the needs of the majority of ordinary people

Emergency services rushed to the scene, but struggled to make their way through the protesters. Barricades were thrown up across the streets, and the mood was turning ugly quickly as torches set fire to the hastily assembled pyre, and the flames snarled high into the cold night air. It sounds like a scene from Paris, as strikers fought back against President Macron’s hated pension reforms. Or perhaps from Iran, or Algeria. Instead, it was Rochdale, on the outskirts of Manchester, last Thursday night. As a Low Traffic Neighbourhood was installed, restricting the movement of cars around the area, angry residents denied any meaningful say over a decision that would profoundly change their daily lives took matters into their own hands, setting fire to planters across the road as the only way left of expressing their anger, while other motorists started driving across the streets to get around the bollards blocking their way.

“The Climate Book” is cleverly labeled “Created by Greta Thunberg.”

The Swedish climate celebrity doesn’t take authorship or editorial credit because the book is a collection of the ramblings of predominantly hard-left political activists.

If this book were released by people aligned with the right, it would have been disregarded as an assortment of conspiracy theories. It covers every woke talking point, from climate refugees to equity.

Exploding batteries on e-scooters and e-bikes pose the biggest emerging fire threat in the capital, the London Fire Brigade has warned.

There have been 37 fires in the capital already this year started by an e-bike or e-scooter, a 60 per cent increase on the same period last year.
