This is climate change & we are only just approaching warming levels where it starts to bite. That’s why sensible people want to restrict warming as much as possible.
5-7 days of 40C + in France kills vulnerable people, farm animals, wildlife, crops and raises wildfire risk.

CO2 is plant food. All will be good.
This farm was able to adapt and is now a top salmon farm.

A few years back I campaigned (not surprisingly unsuccessfully) against the phasing out of incandescent lighting.
Why did I do that? Because it’s another step towards reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.
This is why I always talk in terms of primary energy.

The atmosphere on Mars is 95% carbon dioxide.
CO2 is plant food and the gas of life. Without it we would all die.
Today I have applied to NASA for Lady Alder and I to be astronauts on their mission to Mars.

Greenhouse Effect
This is a greenhouse
Plants like greenhouses
We put plants in them to keep them warm so they grow better and greener
Some people put in carbon dioxide generators to do the same too.
So why are Climatistas terrified of both?

We abandoned steam trains for electric trains over 50 years ago.
Why? Because they are cleaner, faster & more efficient.
I didn’t complain about that but today I’m taking a stand against EVs.

That’s why I hate them.

Every day the sun generates about 3.94 X 10^23 kW.
The total energy which reaches the earth surface is about 80,000 X 10^12 W which is 10,000 times the current global energy demand.
If only there were a way to capture this energy.
Oh wait there is but I campaign against it.

People are raving about solar power
On Friday night we had the biggest solar storm since 2005.
At midnight at the height of the storm I checked the UK solar PV generation.

Yet we are expected to depend on renewables for a net zero future.

Remember no matter how many times I try and tell you wind power is useless the reality is it’s an amazing way of generating electricity.
It’s here to stay, it wasn’t abandoned & is growing rapidly.
I can bark at the moon all I want but in reality everyone is just ignoring me.
🤝 We've partnered with nine different North Sea countries to develop a report with the Offshore TSO Collaboration (OTC) group
The paper demonstrates our progress towards the ambitious goal of 300GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030
It also shares a deeper dive into the Offshore Network Vision, that includes Norway, the UK, Ireland, Luxembourg and France 💡
Fostering cross-border cooperation is vital to unlocking the North Sea's potential 🌊
Thank you to everyone involved, including 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, Amprion GmbH, Creos Luxembourg, EirGrid Group, Elia Group, Energinet, Gasunie, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité, Statnett SF and TenneT.
