Chancellor’s Green Plans Met With Wall Of Silence
October 3, 2019
By Paul Homewood
In a speech at the Tory conference yesterday, Savid Javid received plenty of applause throughout his speech, until the fateful momomet when he announced plans to tackle climate change. watch for the look of horror!! (at 25 mins in)
It really does bear out what I have long argued, that millions of ordinary people out there are fed up to the back teeth with the green agenda:

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
“millions of ordinary people out there are fed up to the back teeth with the green agenda”. My experience is that apart from committed greens, environmental activists and those profiting from the scam, most people are not in the slightest bothered about “climate change”. The propaganda washes over them and they have more important things to be concerned about.
” …most people are not in the slightest bothered about ‘climate change’ ….” I agree, but I have real concerns that there is no debate about whether the public want the measures that are being put in place to solve “climate change”. By the time the general public say “hang on a minute, I didn’t agree to XYZ, I’d rather have the CO2” it may be too late. I see it locally with our City Council declaring a Climate Change Emergency, which, no doubt, will be used as justification to push through ‘green’ measures with little further debate.
Can anyone post the time to start watching this? What time the punch line?
Somewhere around 25mins
At 25:28 the sound of silence. Glorious 😀
I suspect most Tory MPs understand the absurdity of their position. As I said on Tuesday, I discussed the Government’s ‘net zero 2050’ policy with my (Tory) MP two weeks ago. A first he tried to defend it on the basis of the need to combat climate change. My response was to point out that, even if he was right about that, the target was impracticable, unachievable, absurdly expensive and potentially damaging and that, in any case, few other big economies were interested – I cited the major ‘emerging’ economies for example. Eventually he conceded that I made ‘some very good points’. But, he said, if we don’t make it our policy, the ‘socialists’ will. They believe I’m afraid that they cannot afford to lose the votes of environmentalists – whatever they may feel about reality. And of course the ‘socialists’ are now aiming for 2030. In other words, we are engaged in what Gwyn Prins & Steve Rayner described in 2007 as an ‘auction of promises’ in which politicians vie ‘to outbid each other with proposed emissions targets that were simply not achievable’: http://www.lse.ac.uk/researchAndExpertise/units/mackinder/pdf/mackinder_Wrong%20Trousers.pdf
It’s hard to see how we can extricate ourselves from this mess.
Aye mun, I’s just a race to the bottom – typically british disease – “I can do it cheaper than you” .. just so’s MY Company is seen doing the job, etc etc. .. Looking at Apprentice prog las night – going from ONE extreme t’other …. prices discounts etc. Pity help our future generations if those are typical of our class of managers and politicians.
Politicians will promise everything to everyone to get the vote, but there is only one green party MP, not exactly a a force to reckon with. At some point it may be a political advantage to debunk the climate change argument as unrealistic…but not soon enough. (Trump has done that and Putin has just ridiculed St Greta)
I agree with Robin, mostly. Politicians are grasping at whatever will get them a vote. It’s a career swamp through which obfuscation and appeasements are the prime navigation systems. And they mostly end up smelling of roses – compost here, manure there – oh! didn’t they do well!
What they carry out is usually something different to promises made. Argue and posit solutions to mans effects on climate, the real solution is mass culling of the human species, quietly, secretively, through immunisation and microwave technology. It’s a medium to long term solution that will have an effect on generations to come through infertility and apathy in the name of health and faster network speeds.
The wind turbines and solar panels are just for show – a visible display of ‘going green’. The opposite is true – they will cost us dearly.
The trouble is that the Government is almost certainly right. After relentless media etc. propaganda most voters (few of them at a Tory conference) probably now believe that ‘something must be done about climate change’. Therefore the Party knows that, if it doesn’t put forward ‘green’ policies, it will be mercilessly and probably successfully attacked and lose huge numbers of votes. And the result? A greenie government with policies (not only on climate) that are far worse than theirs.
As I said above, it’s hard to see how we can extricate ourselves from this mess. Unless of course serious action can be deferred until reality eventually dawns about the impracticality of it all.
However there may be some hope of reality dawning as this Guardian article demonstrates: ‘The climate protest movement must not alienate Britain’s working classes’ (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/02/climate-protest-alienate-britains-working-classes-extinction-rebellion). Read both article and comments.
You have to remember that there are virtually no conservatives left in the Tory party. They are hard to distinguish from Blair’s New Labour.
It’s just more virtue signalling
Hopefully once in power with a secure majority they will ease off all the silly environmental stuff for a few years
The Patrick Moore lecture to GWPF in 2015 should be obligatory reading for all school children of 11 plus
Politicians like Johnson and Javid need to realise that they will lose the vote of the many that read the truth about this extinction nonsense and the very damaging consequences of the UN agendas followed by government. Javid himself is not a person to be trusted, having been a junk bond merchant when previously working as a top banker before the crash that we are still paying for.
Yes they may lose some votes but, as I’ve said above, the Tory Party knows that, if it doesn’t put forward ‘green’ policies, it will be mercilessly and probably successfully attacked by their opponents and by the woke media and lose huge numbers of votes. And the result? A greenie government with policies (not only on climate) that are far worse than theirs. Would you be happy with that?
Mrs Leadsom seemed to be following the advice of Gummer and his incompetents last week in her Commons statement after the long whinge about language. They seem to be equally stupid.
~25:20 minute mark if anyone wants to skip the sermon.
Great! Still not listening to reality. Trust none of them.
That really was quite remarkable – not a single clap, and he visibly hesitated before delivering his next words!
Dave Ward
I think he was rather shocked. That will whizz back to Boris as ‘the worst reaction in history’.
Bottom line, when we leave on the 31st we will turn to the US for trade and Trump will have a huge influence on Boris over climate change.
It will only take Boris instructing the BBC to keep shtum before the public begins to forget about the scam. Cameron mobilised the BBC over climate change and May ramped it all up, Boris can reverse it.
That £1tn May committed as a virtue signalling tactic to ensure her personal legacy will be far too tempting for Boris to resist. The magic money tree is already being used against him by the socialists – guess what he has his little peepers on to pay for all the initiatives he’s planning?
The first 54 seconds put me off.
The segment on climate starts at around 25 mins on the video –
“And third, we will take a dynamic, market-driven approach to driving down our carbon emissions. Not only are we the first large economy to commit to Net Zero by 2050.Last week at the UN General Assembly our Prime Minister committed to doubling Britain’s funding for global environmental and climate change programmes”
That got absolutely no applause but it doesn’t cut to the audience.
Spotted Andrea Leadsom in audience and she didnt clap, Although she’s denigrated and ruined her reputation by spouting some of this green vomit in the past.
Freudian typo in the web address for this item: not “Wall of Silence” but
“/chancellors-green-plans-met-with-wall-of-SCIENCE”
Impressive bunch of Conservative delegates – all scientists!
Reblogged this on Climate- Science.press.
Deeply sinister. Renders Brexit an irrelevance. The ramifications in terms of loss of sovereignty, economic damage and loss of freedom are incalculable.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the Greta god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Ahhh. S&G. At their best. And well re-modelled. reminded me of the Poem on the Underground Wall, which offered some advice:
‘The crayon on the wall he slashes
Deep upon the advertising
A single worded poem comprised
Of four letters’
Which ended with a most classic line: ‘To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night’.
“Millions of ordinary people out there are fed up to the back teeth with the green agenda”
After Extinction Rebellion’s latest stunt I suspect (and hope) any sympathy “The General Public” have for them will soon evaporate. For those who haven’t seen the video, they turned up outside the Treasury in an old Fire Engine and proceeded to spray fake blood over the building….except the plan quickly went wrong, and (it transpires) the vehicle isn’t even taxed!
Climate death = a doubling of life expectancy? That’s some powerful delusion they are under. And coming from people so ignorant of science, that they haven’t even grasped Newton’s third law!
We’ll see an end to the climate nonsense when politicians and scientists who haven’t fallen for the claptrap have the spine to stand up and be counted, instead of paying lip service to it all.
Greta mark 1 , back in 1992- same old, same old words-
This child was 12 or 13, “you adults must change your ways……..”
He father is of course the environmental activist David Suzuki. As with Greta, her mind had been formed by the adults around her, exploiting her for THEIR agenda.
5 houses Suzuki.
Any of those mansions on the sea front? Like Gore and Obama….
Only Trump and Putin speak anything like common sense nowadays – is that collusion?

Paul: (I know it’s hard to listen to) I recommend listening to the idiot Vine (Radio 2) interviewing John McDonnell around 1:30 today. JM was trying to persuade us that the world will end within a generation or so as there is a huge climate emergency that only Labour can solve. He went on to say how much he supported what XR are doing and that he had them in for a chat so that he could understand more of what they were protesting about and how their tactics were the right way to go.
It was very worrying, coming from a front-bench politician.
Wow, that was the loudest silence I’ve ever heard !!!!! Manifestos for the next election are going to make interesting reading.
The UK only produces one per cent plus of global CO2 thus nothing we do will make the slightest difference. So it’s virtue signalling. BUT nobody is watching the signals! So it’s pointless!!
But impoverishment will be GOOD FOR US
The government needs to fight on only one front at a time. They probably don’t want to promote divisions in their own ranks until Brexit is delivered. If ‘Yes Minister’ is anything to go by they can then set up a commission to consider their action on climate and appoint various leading lights to investigate at length. By the time it reports every one will be demanding something else which must be dealt with immediately.
Unfortunately, most of these politicians really are that stupid. They have been taken in by lobbying by the big, mainly foreign, companies that see the UK as the biggest target for mugging. The prospect of the biggest number of offshore wind turbines, gas reformation and conversion of industry, transport and buildings is very big money. The Tory Party always supports big business and taxes the small.
Sorry about the excess bigs. Up too early with indigestion.
OT, but interesting:
Some, reasonably objective people, do not think the eleven year cycle of this phenomenon matters greatly. But if the rays CONTINUE at this level because we have entered a “Maunder minimum” the effects on cloudiness…
The UAH anomalies figure for September jumped to + 0.61 C. I wonder if the recent crazy jet streams in both hemispheres have something to do with it. My rule in quality control monitoring is that it takes three unusual readings to justify a question mark. It will all bear watching.
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. George Smiley.
Sounds like dodgy data for UAH:
http://www.drroyspencer.com/2019/10/uah-global-temperature-update-for-september-2019-0-61-deg-c/
I was certainly a bit surprised, as Climate Reanalyser’s daily figures, throughout September, for the global 2-m anomaly, gave little indication of anything happening.
UAH have been bringing out their numbers very quickly recently. I wonder if they will take a little more time for cross-checking, in future.
I am not sure that our politicIans would understand anyway???
Give the BBC monies to provide free TV to OAPs, on condition they stop broadcasting climate propaganda.
Gawd Alighty! how can you ‘grow’ the economy by advocating and installing intermittent mind bogglingly expensive energy provision and thus, moving back into the dark ages?
Boris was at it as well, it is some cognitive dissonance to say on the one hand that the tories want to build the economy and then almost in the same breath, to promote the great green scam.
It’s mad or umaed unilateral meaning assured economic destruction.
