COP26: No countries have delivered on promise to improve climate plans
May 19, 2022
By Paul Homewood
As I commented after COP26, why would any country suddenly come up with a new emissions cutting plan, if it refused to before Glasgow?
And as usual, the author of this piece clearly has not read the COP26 agreement, because it contains no such “promise”. Below is the relevant section:

More than half of all new UK cars to be electric by 2028 in bid to ditch petrol and diesel
April 9, 2022 1 Comment
By Paul Homewood
Grant Shapps is looking to set legally binding targets to speed up the shift away from petrol and diesel, and towards the mass adoption of electric vehicles. In its new report, the Department for Transport proposed legally binding annual targets that car manufacturers will be forced to meet before 2035.
In less than eight years, the Government will ban the sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles in the UK.
Just five years later, a similar ban will be introduced to restrict sales of hybrid vehicles.
The proposed scheme would start in 2024, when manufacturers would have to sell all-electric cars, which account for 22 percent of their total sales.
The Government document added: “There is a level of uncertainty based on the form of wider policy measures and future demand, but this modelling assumes that by 2030 a minimum of 80 percent of all…

Michael Kelly Exposes The Implications Of Net Zero
March 7, 2022
By Paul Homewood
Former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith has called for an “honest and open debate” on Net Zero, warning that politicians have not sufficiently scrutinised the requirements, and saying that they must level with the public about the sacrifices required.
He also highlights the UK’s lack of energy security and Western Europe’s reliance on Russian gas.
Sir Iain’s comments, in the foreword to a new report published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, reflect growing alarm among Conservative backbenchers about a possible electoral backlash in the wake of the cost of living crisis, and a new awareness of the threat the Net Zero project represents to national security.
The report, by Professor Michael Kelly FRS, examines the scope of the Net Zero project and considers the financial, resource and manpower requirements, concluding that the political and economic upheaval it would necessitate make success a practical impossibility.

England report demolishes last remaining argument for getting shots
The fully vaccinated account for 9 of every 10 deaths from COVID-19 in England and 4 of 5 deaths among the triple-vaccinated, according to the latest data published by the U.K. Health Security Agency.
The independent British news site The Exposé reported the government report, published Feb. 22, includes a table on page 41 confirming the vast majority of deaths were among the vaccinated.
About 73.5% of the population of England has been fully vaccinated, and 56.9% have received a booster shot, as of Feb. 28.
See the table from the UKHSA report:
Top health officials around the world, including in the U.S., have acknowledged that the COVID-19 vaccines have not stopped infection or transmission amid the omicron wave – the premise for vaccine mandates – but have insisted the shots prevent hospitalization and death.
However, between Jan…

Britain’s steel industry hammered by climate change taxes
February 28, 2022
By Paul Homewood
Crippling climate change levies are forcing Britain’s steelmakers to cut production after a doubling in the cost of carbon emissions in just nine months.
Record carbon prices are making it “all but impossible to increase production competitively” once emissions permits have been used as steelmakers struggle to take on producers in less climate-friendly countries, according to UK Steel.
The industry group estimates that costs are increased by £175 for every additional tonne of steel produced above their free emissions permits, equivalent to around 30pc of current steel prices globally.
