Summer scaremongering from the ‘over heated’ climate change cabal
DANNY LOCKWOOD
MY, did I chuckle at Bank Holiday Monday’s doom-laden announcement that the UK had just had its hottest ever May day – ‘Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!’ – on record. At Heathrow Airport. Excuse me, but I think you could record the hottest ever day every day if you held a thermometer close enough to a jumbo jet’s backside, which is what measuring temperatures at Heathrow amounts to.
Remember that ‘record’ 40.3C from July 2022? Measured alongside a runway at RAF Coningsby as fighter jets were landing and taking off? And a temperature that both rose and fell significantly within minutes? I had to quit my laughing on Monday however as an older citizen innocently setting out for a pleasant summer walk suddenly collapsed with heatstroke and I ran to help. Too late, dead as a dodo. I looked around. Bodies everywhere! Just as the Met Office, NHS, media and every fear-mongering busybody organisation in the nation had predicted.
No, of course people weren’t dropping dead in the balmy midday sun. But the credulous pronouncements did bring back fond memories of a conversation with my late, much-loved mum in May 1982. I was in Palm Springs, California, and ‘hot’ there is something else altogether. I’d just got back from a five-mile desert run and was on my weekly phone call back to Yorkshire. ‘Mum,’ I said, ‘it’s a bit warm over here, 110 degrees [43ºC] in the shade!’ With the sagacity of her generation, mum chided me: ‘Son, you need to stay out of that shade!’
It’s mildly ironic that this fabulous early summer warm spell coincided with the latest Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) Orwellian predictions that within a scant 24 years 92 per cent of homes could be ‘overheating’ (what, for one week in summer?) and – you’ll love this – rivers could be flowing 45 per cent higher with 10million homes at risk of flooding, while at the same time we could face a water shortage of 5billion litres a day. Not sure how that equates but can I just say water shortages have nothing to do with anything other than incompetent privatised water companies prioritising dividends over fixing leaking pipes or building reservoirs to cope with a proliferating population. It’s a state-sanctioned racket, no more nor less.
But the truly risible thing about this pathetic CCC scaremongering report is that it was almost certainly being prepared for release before its authors realised that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was just about to figuratively blow their model ship out of the water. The CCC was gleefully building its (modelled) projections around the IPCC’s (modelled) supposedly authoritative RCP8.5 scenario – which the IPCC has just formally rubbished.
For decades the IPPC’s godly pronouncements on mankind’s impending climate end-times has been fed upon zealously by the Net Zero fantasists, their hand-rubbing globalist overlords and over-educated but sub-intelligent greeniac worshippers. But now, by the month, by the day, the Net Zero cult is fracturing piece by piece, their catastrophic wild-eyed predictions roundly failing to materialise.
Equatorial island chains stubbornly refusing to disappear below rising seas, the Great Barrier Reef hitting record coral levels, animal populations thriving, with higher CO2 levels (almost entirely from natural geological emissions) bringing record greening to parts of the planet that desperately need it. But then again with atmospheric CO2 levels of a scant 420ppm (with industrially insane mankind providing just a trace proportion of that), which in our distant past were as high as 6,000ppm, and which would witness the end to life on earth if they fell below 180ppm, reality, sadly for the cultists, is dawning.
As desperately disappointed as I’m sure the IPCC’s directors were at being unable to avoid reality, they had to reset their raison d’être in order to retain any credibility. The RCP8.5 Pathway suggested a 4C temperature rise based on an 1850-1900 baseline (when the planet was just emerging from the Little Ice Age. We still are, apparently). Forget that all the available science/data suggests that CO2 levels increase after a warming spell as opposed to causing it, in the last 175 years of questionable temperature observations, we’re still only a little over 1C higher than that baseline.
RCP 8.5 had confidently modelled a rise of 4C within the next 75 years, so much so that between 2018-2024 there had apparently been 34,000 articles written based on its findings. They almost certainly all demanded urgent actions which were going to quietly line someone’s pockets while emptying ours, and attempting to terrify people into running scared of a much-welcomed blue sky and the requirement for a dab of factor 30.
Faced with so many inconvenient truths the IPCC had to publicly admit RCP8.5’s crystal ball-gazing was myopic at best, with being blindly ignorant a more likely truth. They used the term ‘implausible’ as possibly the least shaming way of admitting these far-fetched computer models are not fit for any kind of purpose. Don’t expect to see 34 humble media retractions though, let alone 34,000. I’ve certainly not seen one yet. Oh, and certainly don’t expect a corrective expression of humility from Britain’s pathetic Climate Change Committee.
