Observations

It almost beggars belief that the UN is happy to have a senior member of the Chinese elite representing it, pronouncing on climate change, and telling the rest of the world it needs to act urgently to reduce its emissions of CO2.

All of this while Mr Panmao Zhai will know full well that his own country is not only responsible for over half the world’s consumption of coal (the biggest single cause of man-made CO2), but also that his country has actually been increasing both its consumption and production.

Boris fiddles while Beijing burns… more and more coal

The simple fact is that the UK could stop all CO2 emissions tomorrow and it would barely even register on the world’s CO2 charts. Meanwhile, China is (coal-)powering ahead, ramping up its production and consumption of coal. China now dominates in this area, as it already does increasingly in the products we buy.

The reason for this is also simple. China is expanding fast, manufacturing more and more of the consumer and industrial products that the world needs. In very basic terms, the western world has been transferring its production - and thereby its carbon footprint - to China. Meanwhile western economies and their consumers are all about to be hit with massive tax hikes and ever higher energy costs, to pay for the scramble to hit ‘net zero’ by 2050 (or later in the case of the EU).

Did you miss seeing this news on the BBC?

A small but well-respected think-tank with almost no money produced the above report. Facts4EU.Org’s resources compared to those of the taxpayer-funded BBC are so small they would barely keep a BBC executive in “Cinnamon Dolce Lattes” for a week.

We happen to think that giving our readers important facts and a sense of proportion is a worthwhile thing to do. The whole ‘climate change’ subject is complex but it is possible to inform readers and to influence MPs on some very key issues. Sadly, the BBC seems happy to churn out what we refer to as “you’re all going to die-porn” and keep the public in a permanent state of fear.

Huge decisions will be made by the Government in the coming months and years (some of them have already been made but you have yet to feel the consequences) and if we are not careful our lives will change permanently and beyond recognition, before the majority of the public has noticed. If you care, please read what follows, thank you.
