My wife saw this in one of those dippy women’s magazines:
I’m not sure who is worse – the writer or the editor who should have told her to get a grip!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
The saddest and most worrying aspect of this genuinely felt drivel is that there are hundreds of thousands of “Debra’s” who swallow this groupthink without any comprehension of the reality.
The worried person should have been referred to your NALOPKT blog in the first instance.
Debra (address withheld)
Yup. Sounds Legit.
As blatant as a planted XR type recruitment letter as I’ve seen.
I am regularly critisized about my views on ‘climate change’ whist ‘engaging’ with folks on fb.Invariably its because I take a different viewpoint to MSM. One chap/individule provided me with articles that he/they had gleaned from the Guardian.so I suppose we must all be wrong about it.
They drove something called a ‘Tesla’. the best thing since sliced bread apparently.
If you’re quoted articles from the Guardian, then you might as well respond with material from the “Dandy”. More intellectual rigour in the latter publication…
My thoughts exactly!
Just reply with the “50 million climate refugees by 2010” story from the Graun. That will demonstrate to him that the Graun hasn’t got a clue

Just what I was thinking, John.
Fascinating. Anything else you would like to add?
Keep the first letter of each word. Delete every other 3rd letter.
It will make much more sene.
Yes, but only on a Tuesday
The problem with modern society, is people accept without question what they are told. The fact they don’t realise that in increase of atmospheric CO2 from 280ppm to 420ppm, is a rise from 0.028% to 0.042%, this hardly constitutes a “Climate Crisis”!
We have had 25 years of this drivel. I have not seen any change in the climate whatsoever. The proof that mankind is not responsible is there for all to see in the NOAA readings during the Covid19 Pandemic, the rate at which atmospheric CO2 was rising, was unchanged!
Indeed!
Modern society? It’s always been the way. What’s the problem with modern society is that information has never been more readily available and we’ve had an Enlightenment in which we supposedly learnt to question and n
Be sceptical. But still people don’t. Whatever the rights and wrongs of Covid, that a large majority immediately accepted lockdowns as a sutuin was extraordinary. We love to be told what to do by the Authority.
People remain wilfully ignorant and still – amazingly – have a lot of trust in the legacy media. And even more worryingly, still believe the government and others such as the NHS. Perhaps when it is impossible to cover up the vaccine scandal any longer, the masses might get wise. The evidence is already out there is you look.
“May you live in ‘interesting’ times” (Alleged old Chinese curse.)
If the Online Security Bill makes it onto the statute book, you will only need to have a history of commenting on here or Wattsupwiththat etc., or to point out that computer modelling of the climate is as firmly based in science and as usefull for long extrapolations to ‘project’ the future, as the Covid predictions of Professor Pantsdown Ferguson or the study of tea leaves or chicken entrails.
It only needs some Woke copper to imagine that someone might be upset by your comment and you will be in line for a couple of years’ porrige.
And don’t imagine that you actually getting genuinely (and justly) enraged, by your 6 yr old Granddaughter being taught at school by some drag queen perve that some little boys have periods, will result in said perve being in the next cell.
It won’t work that way.
Interesting times.
This scenario is all too common. The local LibDem representative called to deliver an election leaflet. I said that the LibDems were good on local issues but would not receive our votes because of their position on climate change. I ran through a bit of the science of CO2 and greenhouse gases. I was amazed when he said “I’m a physicist and you are absolutely right, but we are not all about climate change” I replied “You could have fooled me” and showed him the candidate’s leaflet. QED.
“as though it is all made up”
Sadly, quite a lot of it truly is made up – and clearly this lady believes it.
The film was a pi55 take. This idiot took it seriously.
By all means . . . the Editor . . .
Fear is the most powerful force that can be experienced by humanity . . .
The IPCC, the EPA, WWF and many more . . . They spend Billions of $$ stoking FEAR at every turn . . . that is why Real Science and Logic and Common Sense falls on deaf ears.
It starts at elementary school with the 3R’s and is ‘Stoked’ throughout every day there after.
To see the collusion the following paper is an eye opener . . .

This Blew me away . . .
My thoughts go to those kids, having to grow up with the stress and fear and then having to tumble to the fact it was all lies.
“Karen welcomes your letters…” Says it all.
When you read the exhanges in the climategate FOI emails, assuming all are genuine, it is apparent that even the warming scientists seem to have lost track of the warming, state there are no good models due to their not including levels of cloud cover, and that it was 1 degree C warmer than the present in the Medieval Warm Period (which of course included a few centuries of successful farming in eastern Greenland) whose actual occurence they also appear accept. Warming, then, as an article of faith?

If the poor soul wants to take her concerns further how about Beijing or New Delhi?
What’s your wife doing reading ‘dippy woman’ magazines, unless you’re saying…..
Yes, I thought ‘good luck if she reads that’. We will know if there is no post tomorrow….
This points up the blurring going on…. We can all be justifiable concerned about natural climate change. But it’s the reason behind the surface concern which is the point…..the narrow focus on “greenhouse gases”…..but carefully omitting to consider the most potent GG of all, water vapour. The dramatic predictions of temperature rises stem from wild derivations of the climate sensitivity of CO2….giving that range of between 1.5 and 4.5degC rise for a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere. However, this range of results has been progressively reduced since 2000, and during the last 5 years putting the figure around 0.5degC, (from David Coe, and available to see in this blog’s archive), and even less than 0.5degC. What is alarming is to observe on a 38Degrees petition, that picture from one of Attenborough’s films, of the scrawny polar bear limping along about to die from starvation due to lack of sea ice…..this being displayed concurrently with new publicly stated figures showing that the Polar Bears are doing just fine. All of us, abused as being no more than conspiracy theorists are being proved right. But the evidence continues to matter little. It’s the alarmist narrative which is designed to frighten us all into shutting down perfectly acceptable FF energy use and accept an authoritarian world government. But Net Zero is now becoming under challenge, across the globe as I read it, Three cheers! We must keep on keeping on………
Back to basics. The Club of Rome, now the WEF raised climate and population issues in the 80’s and it has continued to grow.
We know that there is no Climate emergency, it is a fabrication started by the UN at the Rio Conference in 1992. Since that time, as Maurice Strong who was a proponent of World Government by the UN. He visualized the best way to accomplish the goal was to collapse Western societies was by creating mass hysteria proselytized by the willing dupes in our education system that CO2 is going to destroy the world because allegedly it will cause the temperature to go up 3*C.
At a recent news conference in Brussels, Costa Rican Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism. “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
So we were warned in 1992 and the politicians with their 5 year foresight did not understand that the Neo Marxist Lefties , the Davos Mutual Admiration Society led by Soros and WEF operate in the long term horizons
The EX rebellion, Insulate UK Rebellion, Just Stop Oil, Antifa. BLM like the NGO’s, Greedpiece ( Min of Environment of Canada an ex activist), WWF( Comrade Butts ex PCO), Tides, Suzuki Foundation, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth. Local Ecology Action centres and etc. are well funded by foreign money principally located, in the USA but Russia has been covertly funding the anti fracking in the West.
We are told that CO2 is causing ‘Climate Change’. How many people even know the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere? Very few. Tell them that it is about 420 ppm (parts per million). Blank look. An actual percentage: (0.04%). Better.
But this works: – 100 years ago for every 10,000 molecules in the air about 3 were CO2. Now it is about 4. That change causes ‘Climate Change’!!
Then consider this: – CO2 is a weak greenhouse gas absorbing infra-red in 2 narrow ranges. Water vapour absorbs over a much wider range and, on average, it is about 3%. i.e., about 60 times the concentration of CO2.
‘Climate Change’ due to CO2 is a myth.

JBS: All those references but you didn’t mention the UN Agenda 30 For Sustainability which is driving everything ,fronted by the WEF and the men of Davos. You need to familiarise yourself about and be afraid – very afraid.
Countryfile weatherman hinted hottest ever UK temperature could be under threat next w/e on.
Very likely going to be hotter than the hot spell this week. Maybe that 40C+ was not just one GIGO model run. Fingers crossed.
Highest forecast on BBC weather I can find is for Heathrow currently says 37C for next Sunday, 36C for Greater London, not that forecasts that far out are usually accurate.
So currently very close to a new record but not quite.
Hi GM, so which dodgy weather station has the Met office already decided is going to break the record?! Plenty to chose from https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk
or perhaps they will just use someone’s car thermometer as long as it produces the desired result.
The weekend is so far away in forecasting terms. I see that for me Wunderground has upped it from 89 to 92F on Sunday. However, weather-forecast has now dropped Sunday to a max of 86 but has the 95F coming on Monday.
Meteo France is forecasting 40+ max for next Sunday and Monday (southern Burgundy). If correct that will be the warmest it has been in at least the last 12 years. It’s still only weather! When 40 becomes the average max for July I’ll start to think we might be getting into something. Meanwhile …. keep the shutters down, put a sunshade up for the hens, and if necessary retreat to the cellar! Which is where the wine is anyway!
We had an August holiday in Provence about 20 years ago. Temperatures in the 40s and Canadairs water bombing fires every day. It was even warm on the top of Mont Ventoux at 9am altough it hadn’t stopped a local cyclist making his second ascent of the day, or so he claimed.
Made a resolution never to go to the South of France for a summer holiday again. You can’t acclimatise in a week.
I would go in May, June or September as it would be less crowded anyway.
It’s been nearly 20 years since the record was set. So if records being broken is proof of warming, there’s been no warning for 20 years!
When leftists stand on the edge of the “climate change” hoax, they’re bound to fall over.
Zac Goldsmith thinks the Tories will lose the next election if they don’t toe the net zero line.
See this drivel in the DT.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07/10/ditching-net-zero-would-electoral-suicide-conservatives/
Take a look at the comments – they could be going better ! Virtually 100% Zero support for Net Zero !
Hilarious,
You’re right, BTL reader comments (from paid up Tories who paid for Telegraph subs’ in order to comment) are priceless.
It’s a similar story with Chris Skidmore on Twitter. He’s getting put well and truly put straight. Net Zero can break or make the Conservatives.
Break; just carry on as usual wrecking the country and ruining business and personal finances.
Make; defer or sack it off completely. (sacking it off isn’t reasonable, so deferral would be the most painless way for the Tories to take their poison.)
They’d put clear blue policy water between themselves and the Opposition. It’d win them the GE.
Read Goldsmith’s bio on Wikipedia. Obviously not very bright, educated at Eton but expelled, no university but a series of “jobs” at think-tanks and lots of travel, editor of the magazine owned by his family then an MP at a very young age.
He knows nothing, has limited education, no actual work experience, is immensely rich and as a child watched Attenborough documentaries on TV so became Green.
It’s like we are back in the 18th century.
Compare the record of that NZ hysteric with the career of Suella Braverman, educated in Law at Cambridge , a masters from the Sorbonne , qualified as a barister , all before her career in politics . Found time also to get married and have 2 children , and now a minister of state at 40. Doubt if she has a chance at PM because she is sceptical about NZ and a Brexiteer,so the media will destroy her (ironically the Guardian tipped her for No 10 ten years ago).
I am not campaigning for her or indeed anyone else, just pointing out that there are people out there with credible intelligence and education , but as always it is the empty vessels that make the most noise in the media , and the ones that the flock of tory MPs will listen to- alas.
And yet we achieved great things in the 18th century, far beyond those of the 21st century where we are supposed to see windmills as the way forward.
As far as Braverman goes, the lights are on but nobody’s home. Despite, or because of her education, she is best described as ‘thick as mince’. Possibly unfair, as I find mince very useful.
The prevalence of articles campaigning to “tackle climate change” are indeed so common that they are just a part of every day life. The WI frequently go on about it. It is not that the members necessarily share these views, but the leadership pushes them. There is gentle pressure to conform. This is particularly true of councils, where the prospect of funding is dangled like a carrot to those councils which have adopted the right stance on climate. Some individual councillors are sceptical but are basically told that if the council does not play ball they will be at the back of the queue when they apply for grants.
FYI Telegraph this morning.. Piece by Zac Goldsmith about how dropping net zero will be catastrophe for the conservatives
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07/10/ditching-net-zero-would-electoral-suicide-conservatives/
what a load of mendacious tosh
mjr: Glad you and others have mentioned Goldsmith’s Telegraph article. You ers have called it drivel and tosh but that is not enough. It is mendacious lies and there should be some kind of action against the Telegraph. He and his co-writer claim specifically that hundreds of countries have committed themselves to nett zero policies. They haven’t, they have promised to TRY to reduce emissions. Meanwhile, China, India etc are building coal fired stations as fast as they can and increasing coal production world-wide. We need to do the same..
How can you forget the ridiculous Cambridge Botanic Gardens ‘record’, it’ll be a week short of 3 years for the UK, 38.7C is the target for bonus pub talking points.
Meant 4 Phoenix.
I’m Terrified Of Climate Change
Not wishing to sound harsh, but… Get. A. Life.
Well I don’t know if the Climate Crisis scares all these people, but it scares the hell out of me. With apologies to The Duke of Wellington
Well the reaction to all this bilge is concerning at the very least.
Some critical thinking would go a long way to alleviating this woman’s fears. Telling her to go and join a group of similarly alarmed people is possibly the worst advice they could have given her.
All you need to know about the climate “crisis” is follow the money ignore the science… it’s a bit like 150 gender types…they don’t exist either! In the real world, there are only 2!
The family went to see a movie a short while ago. The premovie shorts and what not included a dinosaur walking up to a podium with the UN logo behind and above. The dinosaur tells the audience of modern day humans, that their investing in fossils fuels would be like the dinosaurs investing in asteroids and he urges us to not choose extinction.
While at the vet this week with the family of stray cats we rescued, the tv screen in the lobby ran infomercials on various pet care products. One on heart worm medicine was 80% nothing but how the manufacturer is going about creating sustainable manufacturing to fight global climate change. We are in Japan.
Global Climate Change messaging is not quite omnipresent here. Once the ESG scoring system in implemented for individuals, kiss your freedom good bye. Most will praise the day this happens, not knowing what it will bring.
