\"UK<\/a>
UK Prime Minister Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Telegraph reports that<\/strong><\/a> UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has annoyed the climate cultists by promising to allow new licences for North Sea oil and gas despite his own tough environmental targets.<\/p>\n

However, there is, as yet, no backing away from the cult of Net Zero. Mr Sunak even claims he can ‘convince his daughters’ that increasing UK oil and gas production is ‘good for net zero’.<\/p>\n

UK Energy Security and Net Zero (sic) Secretary, Grant Shapps MP, says not pressing ahead with North Sea drilling would be \u2018irresponsible\u2019 and \u2018mad\u2019 as failure to do so would force the UK to import more energy from abroad.<\/p>\n

\"Rt<\/a>
Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While Mr Sunak obsesses over what his daughters think, his Business Secretary has raised the alarm over a Government edict coming into force in January 2024.<\/p>\n

In just five months’ time, warns Kemi Badenoch, the zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate will fine motor manufacturers \u00a315,000 for every petrol or diesel car they sell if at least 22% of the new cars they sell are not electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joseph Mullane in HomeBuilding<\/strong><\/a> reports that Government plans to ban oil boilers and insist on heat pumps in rural areas from 2026 have led to a Tory revolt, with former minister George Eustace MP describing the idea as ‘a ‘ULEZ’ for rural households’.<\/p>\n

Chris Stark, chief executive of the Climate Change Committee, has admitted he is still heating his flat with a gas boiler four years after saying he would install a heat pump. The capital cost is ‘too high’, it’s ‘very difficult’ to install and electricity is too expensive to make the switch, he told the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee last month. On top of that, his local gas fitter told him the heat pump will ‘never work’. HERE is the actual transcript<\/strong><\/a>. Look for Q420.<\/p>\n

The Climate Change Committee is behind virtually all the lunacy being inflicted on ordinary people. It recommended the ban on the installation of gas boilers in new homes from 2025, on oil boilers from 2026 and the ban on the sale of new gas boilers altogether from 2035.<\/p>\n

These diktats might please the elites ministers meet at climate conferences but their Biblical job description is not sucking up to the World Economic Forum, it is honouring God and safeguarding their own people. Motor manufacturers will shut up shop and ordinary people will lose their jobs and shiver in their homes unless the Government rescind the Net Zero absurdity.<\/p>\n

But as Will Jones points out in Daily Sceptic<\/strong><\/a>, doing so will require repeal of most if not all of the Climate Act 2008. That would be politically inflammatory but if presented in humility as a proposal by a party it could prove electorally beneficial for them in a year’s time.<\/p>\n

Security is a Biblical imperative<\/h2>\n

It is a Biblical imperative for the leaders of a nation to honour God, love their neighbour, and in wisdom and humility make sure their people are secure. In the book of Judges we read what happened when the Israelites had bronze-age technology while surrounding nations had embraced the iron age:
\nJdg 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.<\/b><\/p>\n

After the fall of Jerusalem in 587BC, the Prophet Jeremiah complained in his Lamentations:
\nLam 5:4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.<\/b><\/p>\n

We see from these words how much people rely on technology and on utilities and energy security. It is prudent of leaders to ensure that and irresponsible of them to ignore it. If you prefer, it shows a lack of wisdom in them, but that traces back to a lack of humility, which itself comes from thinking they can do without the Almighty:
\nProv 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.<\/b><\/p>\n

But we should also bear in mind the Lord can and does send stupid decisions on leaders as judgment for disobedience to his laws and idolatry. He did exactly that to Solomon’s son and successor Rehoboam:
\n2Chron 10:15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word… <\/b>(worth reading the whole passage.)<\/p>\n

Repentance brings its reward<\/h2>\n

Nevertheless, if the leaders of a nation are taking the people in the wrong direction, the prophet says they should recognise that and have the humility to make a u-turn:
\nEzek 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?<\/b><\/p>\n

The Net Zero agenda has been rushed in and the establishment appear to be ploughing on with no regard for the fast-emerging consequences. The Bible urges wisdom and realism in the face of haste and self-satisfaction:
\nProv 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
\nProv 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Prophet Hosea also urged humility, repentance and seeking the Lord, and gave a promise:
\nHos 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And Christians all know this word, which in its context applies to a nation which has dedicated itself to the Lord. Archbishop Welby and King Charles did that on behalf of the United Kingdom in the Coronation service just three months ago<\/strong><\/a>. We are a nation under God today, just as much as Israel was then:
\n2Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate cultists disagree with North Sea decision<\/h2>\n

Those for whom climate alarmism has become a religious cult immediately weighed in on the North Sea decision. According to the Guardian<\/b><\/a>, Mike Childs, head of policy for Friends of the Earth, and clearly not one given to moderation or understatement, said: \u201cClimate change is already battering the planet with unprecedented wildfires and heatwaves across the globe. Granting hundreds of new oil and gas licences will simply pour more fuel on the flames…\u2019<\/p>\n

Only two weeks ago the BBC was gleefully reporting<\/strong><\/a> on a heatwave in southern Europe. It was brought about by the atmospheric jet steam driving a high-pressure system over the Mediterranean Sea drawing up hot air from the Sahara. The same jet stream deluged the UK with rain. It\u2019s called \u2018weather\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Greek government blamed the wildfires not on global warming but on arsonists. With dry undergrowth to set fire to, it is not clear how a can of North Sea oil would have started their fires any better, despite Mr Child\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n

UN\u2019s Apocalypse Now!<\/h2>\n

But even Mr Childs has been outdone in rhetoric by the Secretary-General of the UN. The UN\u2019s own website<\/b><\/a> reports Ant\u00f3nio Guterres saying just last week: \u201cClimate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning.\u201d He went on, \u201cthe era of global warming has ended\u201d and \u201cthe era of global boiling has arrived\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018Global boiling\u2019? Just where on earth is water boiling out in the open air? The language is used to terrify the population. It will be \u2018global apocalypse\u2019 before we know it. One commentator suggests<\/strong><\/a> the climate fear-mongers could soon become a laughing stock. In the book of Job, we read of the sea monster Leviathan:
\nJob 41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.<\/b><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s his breath churning the sea. Leviathon is not being boiled alive. There is a strong thread of nature-worship going on here, and the Bible strongly warns against raising up created things, instead of God, to divine status:
\nDeut 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 9 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.<\/b><\/p>\n

Uxbridge has scared MPs<\/h2>\n

But if the BBC and UN are setting out to terrify the population, that is nothing to what the Uxbridge by-election has done to members of parliament. The Conservatives held it by opposing the Ultra-Low Emissions Zone being extended across Greater London by the Mayor Labour\u2019s Sadiq Khan. Now they have suddenly realised that the Mayor\u2019s war on less affluent car drivers and \u2018white van man\u2019 is deeply unpopular.<\/p>\n

There have already been calls from Jacob Rees-Mogg and Iain Duncan Smith to delay the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars due in seven years time, in 2030. A website reports<\/b><\/a>: \u2018More than 40 Tory MPs and peers, including Jacob Rees-Mogg to and Iain Duncan Smith, have written to the Prime Minister asking for the ban be delayed to 2035, since it will do \u201cgrave harm to the economy\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n

Reaching Net Zero by 2050 is a legal commitment, stemming from Theresa May\u2019s 2019 amendment to the Climate Act 2008. No MP voted against Mrs May\u2019s big idea. But that was then, and now, the idea of a government spinning \u2018love thy neighbour\u2019 into impoverishing them now to save them from a nebulous climate catastrophe in fifty years time is beginning to look like an electoral liability. Iain Duncan Smith\u2019s website<\/b><\/a> even says his party \u2018must stand against net zero\u2019 altogether.<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak’s North Sea pledge is clearly a nod in Mr Duncan Smith’s direction, but he will be torn between the new climate sceptics and the climate fanatics in his party.<\/p>\n

Electric fanaticism<\/h2>\n
\"Cardiff<\/a>
Cardiff Council is reduced to charging its electric bin lorries with a diesel generator.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pushing back the imposition of electric cars from 2030 to 2035 is only a delay of five years. There is no chance of the infrastructure, pylons and charging points, being ready by then. And how do the climate fanatics expect the electricity to be generated when the wind dies down and the sun shines too much, or fails to shine at all? They hate the obvious solution, nuclear power. They must expect the people to shiver.<\/p>\n

As if to illustrate the lack of wisdom in our godless politicians, Nation Cymru reports<\/b><\/a> that Cardiff Council, having bought some nice new electric bin lorries, found it did not have enough electric charging capacity. It is now using diesel generators to charge the muck-carts. The energy losses in the generator, coupled with those of the batteries and transmission, on top of the cost of the lorries and the environmental damage their components have caused around the globe, means the \u2018environmental impact\u2019, let alone the cost to local taxpayers, is far worse than if the Labour authority had stuck with diesel lorries.<\/p>\n

Limitations of heat pumps<\/h2>\n
\"Air-Source<\/a>
Air-Source Heat Pumps cost far too much to run when the weather is cold. Picture from Daily Sceptic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Scottish National Party wants to compel households north of the border to rip out their gas boilers and install heat pumps instead. Businessman William, Lord Haughey owns a company producing heat pumps. Daily Sceptic reports<\/b><\/a> the entrepreneur and Labour peer telling the SNP it\u2019s too cold in Caledonia for them to work efficiently or cost-effectively.<\/p>\n

We have a air-source heat pump on our farmhouse in Wales. The house is a newbuild. It is well-insulated and has underfloor heating. Heating it with the heat pump was economical when the price of night-time electricity was 11p per unit. But now it is twice that, we cannot afford to heat the house with it anymore. By the grace of God we have a wood-burning stove which does the job.<\/p>\n

Our heat pump still heats the water, but as Lord Haughey observes, only to a temperature which will not kill legionella bacteria. So an electric immersion heater comes on once a week to do that. To bear out his lordship\u2019s other point, although the salesmen tell you a heat pump will still work when the outside temperature is below zero, what they never admit is that it has to work for much longer to extract what little heat there is. So that 2kw fan is spinning twice or three times as long and the efficiency plummets. In Braemar at -27C? Forget it.<\/p>\n

King Charles promotes Net Zero<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

King Charles and the Prince of Wales are both signed up to the elitist climate agenda. When US president Joe Biden paid the UK a visit in July 2023, they agreed to drive up ‘climate donations’ from the private sector.<\/p>\n

At Windsor Castle, the two heads of state joined participants from the Climate Finance Mobilisation Forum<\/b><\/a> and charity sectors to work out how to \u2018encourage\u2019 private companies to abandon fossil fuels and support \u2018clean energy\u2019. One major focus<\/b><\/a> of the meeting was how to advance their green agenda in \u2018developing economies\u2019.<\/p>\n

One aim of the Climate Finance Mobilisation Forum is \u2018to release private climate investment in emerging economies\u2019. The King is said to be passionate about preventing developing economies reaching our standard of living by burning their readily-available fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

The gathering was also convened by the above mentioned UK Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary (he really is called that oxymoron) Grant Shapps and US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (ditto) John Kerry.<\/p>\n

Monarch or Politician?<\/h2>\n

According to guidance on the royal page<\/b><\/a>, the Monarch has a ‘less formal’ role as ‘Head of Nation’. The Sovereign acts \u2018as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.\u2019<\/p>\n

As sovereign, he is expected to remain impartial and not to share his personal views on political matters. The late Queen Elizabeth II never made her views public. She was dutifully performing a role. However, the climate cultists like Mr Kerry have attempted to lift climate fanaticism above politics, just as was done with Covid lockdowns and mRNA vaccines. That the earth is warming, that people are at fault, and that we must all travel less, eat less meat and shiver in homes we can\u2019t heat they present as an article of faith. The King plainly agrees.<\/p>\n

The debates over ULEZ and Uxbridge and the discussions at Windsor Castle could affect millions of lives. Abandoning fossil fuels and embracing unreliable renewable energy, as the World Economic Forum elites demand of the lower classes will have implications for economies, for national budgets, for industry and for living standards and household bills. Will ordinary people and the developing world stand for it? Or will they be with the Bible:<\/p>\n

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. <\/b><\/p>\n

In June, 2010, King Charles, as the then Prince of Wales, called for population control and praised the success of \u2018family planning services\u2019 in overseas countries.<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph<\/b><\/a>, he delved into the sphere religion by calling for the traditional religious views of the sanctity of life, which oppose the use of artificial contraceptives (condoms, IUDs and hormonal drugs), to be \u2018balanced with the imperative to live within the limits of Nature\u2019.<\/p>\n

The King, like those condemned in the Bible’s book of Deuteronomy, has edged into worship of ‘Nature’ with a capital ‘N’.<\/p>\n
