The reality view from Britain…and beyond…

Net Zero emissions embraced by Western nations is total insanity. First, it is economic suicide. As is briefly mentioned in the article below by Mr. Taylor, the U.K. is only responsible for 1% of global carbon emissions, and America is responsible for a fraction of global carbon emissions compared to communist China, India, and Asian nations outside of communist China [see enclosed chart].

Communist China, India, and the remaining Asian nations responsible for the overwhelming majority of carbon emissions not only will reap the economic benefit of Western nations losing their minds and all rational thought, but communist China, India, and the remaining Asian nations have no intent on joining in the net zero emissions by 2050 insanity. And it is sheer insanity. Strong delusion. A grand departure from reality. National suicide. In more than economic matters.

This is yet another sign of the times, the last of the last days, and how people abandon all sensible thought and focus on removing every existing foundation, attempting to obliterate history, and attempting to alter every established cultural, educational, and religious foundation. To be replaced with nonsense such as net zero emissions by 2050.

This is just another sign of the times, the last of the last days that should not be ignored or shrugged off to follow what passes for the most impactful and vital news, such as imploded submersibles, the individual human interest stories to distract and deflect, all the noise being generated keeping folks from seeing or hearing the real impactful policies and events that have, are, and will impact every person on earth.

Net Zero is slowly strangling every Western nation, including America.

The truth and reality of electric vehicles has not been told. Nor the rapid and lacking all critical thinking and sense headlong rush in thinking we are going to save the earth! by dictating all the extreme measures and imposing all the regulations being imposed.

If rather unfamiliar with net zero do not feel bad. It is being quietly, subtly enacted, and brought about. Because all those that have drank the net zero Kool-Aid know if the reality of the impact of net zero on human life in Western nations were to be out in the open the people would revolt, and Mr. Taylor touched upon below.

What a world we now live in, eh?

In these last of the last days as the world has been known for millennia.

Well, we know, as true believers that it was going to come to an end one day. We do not know that day but with all that has transpired, the always turbulent and increasing fervor and noise push of evil, along with the apathy towards God, towards Jesus, the rise of unsound doctrines, all the itching ears and false teachers, all the tearing down of foundations and truth supplanted with everything we now see and hear taking place daily in plain view. So what has been and is taking place behind closed doors, in secretive places with ideas offered up as a saving, salvation for the physical earth while those ideas, all of them omit the saving of individual spirits and souls, making the world inhabitable for human life.

Ever read what is swiftly coming in Revelation? In Bible prophecy? All the plagues, famines, the people of the earth in such suffering and woe, in such a state they openly, continually curse God?

Everything, everything that is foretold in the Bible and is happening as the birth pains began quite some time ago and the labor pains, the contracting is occurring quicker and quicker together with more intensity has been, is, and will be brought about by the actions of man! The foolishness, recklessness, vanity, ignorance, and darkness within man

And net zero is but one cog in the machinery bringing it all about, one piece of the puzzle with the picture of what will be seen more clearly by the day.

Net Zero is slowly strangling this country

What misery is coming next? If you thought a cruise was a chance for a bit of well-earned luxury, away from real-world problems, think again. Because we now learn that “net zero cruising” could involve switching off the air-con in your cabin, fewer stops and sleeping in dirty sheets. Nothing is out of reach for the joyless climate change zealots.

Yes, the average cruise ship will guzzle gas and emit emissions. They get through 250 tonnes of fuel per day, according to some figures. But isn’t the point of a cruise that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime treat? That’s why many on board will indulge in excess calories, before lounging in the on-board whirlpool. It’s not your average Wednesday.

But dirtier sheets and less air-con are, we’re told, exactly the sort of bizarre sacrifices that have to be made to get a greener cruise industry. And regulators will surely seize on it with alacrity. Net zero cruising could be coming our way purely because it fits the agenda and it’s theoretically possible. But will there be many customers? I have my doubts.

If anything, we ought to feel some sympathy for the cruise ship industry. After Covid and the cost-of-living crisis, it needs tighter regulations like a hole below the waterline. Globally, passenger ticket revenue for the largest lines fell around 70 per cent in 2020 on the previous year. Asking a luxury liner to make massive cuts to their energy use is like asking a Michelin-star restaurant to serve nothing but raw vegan flapjacks and carrot juice. It can be done, but rather defeats the object.

Meanwhile, back on dry British land, ministers are reportedly being told by their climate change advisors that they’ll have to halt the building of all new roads in order to meet yet another target – this time of cutting emissions by 2030. That’s on top, of course, of getting to net zero by 2050, which, unlike just about all other countries, we’ve imposed on ourselves by law.

No new roads? Aren’t our major arteries already at a standstill as they try to cope with population increases and the corresponding rise in vehicles? In 2000, there were 27.2 million cars on the road; by 2020 this had hit over 32 million. And with 600,000 additional people every year being squeezed onto our island – which means building a new city the size of Bristol annually to house them all – won’t this pressure intensify?

With the U.K. responsible for only 1 per cent of global carbon emissions, and the world’s biggest polluters like China and India showing no signs of sharing our net-zero obsession – in fact, if anything, they’re rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect of picking up the economic slack – we must ask ourselves a simple question: why are we doing this to ourselves at this speed, and in this manner? Only when viable technologies are produced by entrepreneurs and innovators will some the biggest polluters engage in this global enterprise. In the meantime, we are driving this country into the ground.

And if the only way of achieving our targets by 2050 is to call an immediate halt to road building, dirtier sheets on some “luxury” cruise ships, heat pumps, electric vehicles, Ulez, smart meters, and a wide range of subsidies and levies and bans and regulations – is there not a risk it becomes so unpopular that the people revolt?

Net zero may well be a worthy target, but initiatives have to be sensible. And global. Millions more people simply means many more roads. Let’s get real.
