The papers and media (See ITV news HERE) are reporting that the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars may be delayed by five years as Rishi Sunak waters down his net zero pledges.
Some Tory MPs have welcomed the proposals, which will also involve pushing back the ban on gas and oil boilers. climate fanatics are furious. The BBC is talking of ‘a blizzard of criticism’. The motivation, says the Telegraph, is to ‘mark a clear line between the party and Labour at a time when it is struggling in the polls’. But the punitive quotas on how many EV’s manufacturers must sell between now and the cut-off date remain.
Only ban what God has banned
To be in accordance with scripture, it isn’t enough for bans on petrol and diesel cars and gas and oil boilers to be put back. There should be no bans at all. The law of God bans things which are evil, things which should not happen. That is things like murder, adultery, theft, false witness, even blasphemy and idolatry in a civilised country. Buying the sort of car the establishment think you should not buy can never be illegal in the eyes of God. Installing a boiler which happens to be the wrong sort in the eyes of the elite can never be ‘against the law’.
That’s because all laws are or should be in accordance with the laws of God.
The Prophet called out to God:
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
To go outside the laws of God into some sort of top-down command and control mentality is human arrogance. And that is whether or not there really is a climate emergency, as the media never tire of telling us.
Building a tower
Never forget, scientists are funding-driven and that means they are agenda-driven. They, like media folk, mix with politicians. It took the Covid debacle to reveal how science can follow policy, rather than the other way round. It also showed us how the media can swiftly become propaganda channels for government. Now we have seen all that, we cannot forget it.
Those who lead us are fallible, ambitious, self-serving human beings. They get things wrong. They focus on the short-term, on polls, on headlines.
The Lord Jesus asked:
Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
The answer is, ‘British politicians and their civil servants’. They have not counted the cost of their net zero policies. They commanded that all new vehicles sold after 2030 should be electric. They may now be pushing that back five years. That decision alone makes my point. It is policy made up on the hoof. If 2030 can become 2035 overnight, the policy never had any rational basis. Did they ever think it through as the Lord Jesus assumed normal, rational human beings would do?

Counting the Cost
Did they count the cost of all the charging points they would need for all the EV’s they demanded we buy, how people in flats would access them, how they would generate all the electricity they would need for them in time, and for all the electric heat-pumps they are instructing the public to install, how they would expand the electric grid by their self-imposed deadline to transport all the electricity they would have to generate, or even whether that electricity would remain affordable? The answer to that is ‘No’.
Did they run tests to check the life of the batteries or consider how people would pay for a new one once the old one expired? Did they assess the environmental and social impact of mining the materials for all the batteries the cars would need? Is there any installed capacity or environmental risk assessment for scrapping the old batteries? Did they ask where in the world the batteries would be made and the impact on domestic security if they and the cars and heat-pumps were made overseas? Did they even consider the impact of much heavier vehicles on roads and car parks? The answer to all these questions is ‘No’.
Renewables
They have commanded and skewed the electricity market with subsidies paid for by consumers through green taxes to drive through the installation of wind turbines and solar panels. The Climate Change Committee has a graphic showing renewables generating two-thirds of our electricity by 2050.
Have they put in place equivalent capacity from nuclear power or fossil fuels to cover those days when the sun doesn’t shine, or shines too much, or when the wind doesn’t blow, or when both of those happen together? Is such back-up capacity even being planned? Are the investing in clean coal technology or buying British nuclear plants?
For that matter, have they ruled out installing solar panels on farm-land and insisted they go on roofs? Have they told us the expected life of the turbines and the solar panels and planned for their disposal or recycling? The answer once again to all that is ‘No’.
Arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty
Not only are those who lead us so arrogant that they legalise things God says in his word are evil and promote them, not only are they so lacking in humility they distort the market by banning things God never banned, but they are so stupid they do not even cost it out and so lacking in wisdom they fail to think any of it through.
On top of that, they lack the honesty to admit it. The exact same cocktail of arrogance, stupidity and deceit meant that Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions and the imposition of mRNA vaccines were both carried out in opposition to the laws of God and were neither costed out nor thought through.
Covid corruption
Did they seek the Lord before ordering lockdown? Did they ask the public whether it was acceptable to classify some economic activity as ‘non-essential’ and ban it? Did they consider the effect on the national collective immune system and mental health of confining people to their homes or forbidding old folks from seeing their children and grand-children?
Did they conduct a dispassionate assessment of the effectiveness of face-masks and anti-bacterial hand-wash against an air-borne virus? Did they conduct the standard regime of even medium-term testing before they rolled out a vaccine employing innovative mRNA technology? Did they insist no-one with shares in pharmaceutical companies could sit on a regulatory board?
The answer, once again, is ‘No’. Instead, those in office and their advisors gave contracts for largely unnecessary protective equipment to their friends. To the previous mix of arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty they added corruption.
Bribery and corruption are specifically condemned in the word of God:
Exod 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Changing people’s diets?
The Telegraph reported: ‘(Mr Sunak) is expected to say that there will be no policies to change people’s diets or to encourage carpooling, and no new taxes to discourage flying. He is also likely to rule out burdensome recycling schemes, including a proposal for seven bins, with six separate recycling bins plus one for general waste.’
Even to say that carries the implication that civil servants and government advisors might be considering such policies.
It should not even be under discussion whether people should be free or not to eat whatever they want and travel how they wish. The Government should not even be considering skewing the market in these areas with ‘sin taxes’.
As the Prophet Ezekiel told the rulers of his day:
Ezek 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
Finally, if, as we are told, the bans and impositions are mandated by the Climate Change Act 2008 and the 2050 Target Amendment Order 2019, then those acts of folly must be repealed.
Prayer
READ: Exod 18:21; 2Sam 23:2; Psalm 23:12; Jer 29:5-7; Mark 10:44; 1Tim 2:1-4.
PRAY: Thank God for this backtrack from Mr Sunak in answer to our prayer. Tell God it does not go far enough. Pray the Government will remove the ‘net zero’ targets, policies and impositions altogether. Pray for ministers to repent and have the fear of God and seek his face in humility for wisdom, honesty and to love their neighbour. May they understand that to be a ruler is to be the servant of all.
