SALT BUSH CLUB-A NET ZERO FARCE

Power not Poverty

By Viv Forbes

The past was green and fuzzy – the future is black and ominous. Richard Sebrof

The green fairy-tale is over.

Even the green cheer squad in the bureaucracy and the media can sense the change. The sudden end was signalled by rolling columns of Russian tanks, quickly followed by surging prices for oil, gas, coal, wheat and barley.

For decades, one-worlders and greedy industrialists have sung the green songs – lauding wind/solar energy, worshipping hydrogen, and condemning coal, oil, gas and nuclear. Their doomsday chorus was taken up by tweeting teenagers and trendy adults in the green leafy suburbs – most of them supported in soft-chair jobs in media, bureaucracy and big woke corporations.

John Kerry (a rich climate-obsessed American aristocrat) worries that the Ukraine war “could have a profound negative impact on the climate”. He is more concerned about beneficial emissions of life-supporting CO2 than about lethal bullets, missiles, and starvation.

John Kerry, the United State Climate Envoy in the Biden administration, had previously explained how the greenhouse theory works: “Try and picture a very thin layer of gases – a quarter-inch, half an inch, somewhere in that vicinity – that’s how thick it is. It’s in our atmosphere. It’s way up there at the edge of the atmosphere. And for millions of years – literally millions of years – we know that layer has acted like a thermal blanket for the planet – trapping the sun’s heat and warming the surface of the Earth to the ideal, life-sustaining temperature”.

Russia, China and India have focussed on developing and using their best energy resources, but Australia (following the Pied Pipers of Europe) has a bi-partisan policy to keep spreading the climate virus and subsidising more expensive green toys imported from China.

But, at long last, sanity is surfacing – Nigel Farage (the UK Brexiteer) has rung the full-time bell on climate alarmism with his new slogan against net zero madness –
“Vote Power not Poverty”.

Just one late snow storm in Berlin, a food riot in Cairo or a blackout in New York will start the green rout.

The world is becoming a cold, hungry and dangerous place. Food is not produced in green forests, electricity is not generated in big batteries, green hydrogen is a net consumer of energy, and we will not fight the next war with battery-powered tanks, wind-powered frigates or an air force burning bio-fuels.

Just two years ago, Biden promised: “we are going to get rid of fossil fuels.”

It’s time to drag green dreamers and climate alarmists into the real world where food, fuels, metals, electricity and defensive weapons are produced. This must start by cleaning the green horse manure from the “Net Zero” stables.

Putin’s tanks and missiles have started this process. Europeans now face the truth that coal, oil, nuclear and gas provide most of the power for their homes, factories, industry, transportation and agriculture. Without them, big cities will die.

We need more Hydrocarbon Power, more Nuclear Power, and less Un-reliables.

The world has changed. We can no longer afford “Net Negative Energy” or “Building Back Worse”.

    How do we know how much the earth has warmed? The answer is that we don’t.
    We thought we knew when James Hansen of NASA told a senate hearing in 1988 that the global average surface temperature was 59.618 F (15.34 C) using a baseline of 59 F for the period 1950 to 1980. This was agreed upon by Phil Jones of CRU East Anglia and David Parker of Met Office until 1997 when Tom Karl a former director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), increased the global average surface temperature baseline from the 59 F that had been agreed to 61.70 F for the period between 1961 to 1980 which was later amended to a much lower temperature in 1998. “According to the new figures presented by Phil Jones, the average global temperature this year, 1998, will turn out to be about 58 degrees F, a full degree warmer than the 1961-1990 average of 57 degrees F”! So in the space of a little over 10 years we had three totally different temperatures base lines. 59 degrees, 61.70 degrees and 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
