“Climate change is the challenge of our lifetime,” is what we often hear in energy-hungry Western countries when left-wing government officials and their allies promoting “net zero” religions lecture. [emphasis, links added]
But what happens if much of the important data behind the threat of climate change is fabricated?
As it turns out, a lot of it is. At least that’s what British science watchdog Daily Skeptic thinks.
It recently detailed allegations made by an independent journalist suggesting 103 of 302 so-called “weather stations” The data that inform climate change predictions by UK government and academic scientists do not exist or produce actual data.
that's right. As journalist Ray Sanders discovered, governments don’t produce data but “estimates.”
If so, all science based on fabricated data is invalid. These include frequent predictions by the British government that massive global warming will soon make life on Earth unbearable.
But that's just Britain, right? Wrong.
If you live in the United States, you've been threatened by the big government left for years to “trust the science.” However, the U.S. government has its own problems with temperature data.
The United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) was established to provide accurate temperature data to policymakers, meteorologists, and scientists.
Unfortunately, as in the UK, The United States is closing many weather stations, making apples-to-apples comparisons statistically impossible. Data goes back 100 years.
“They (weather stations) have disappeared but still report data like magic.” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, certified consulting meteorologist. “NOAA falsified temperature data at more than 30 percent of 1,218 USHCN reporting stations that no longer exist.”
But it's not just about data.
The news comes as COP29, an awkward acronym for the United Nations' 29th annual climate change conference, opens in Baku, Azerbaijan. Dozens of carbon dioxide-emitting government and private jets flew an estimated 50,000 people thousands of miles for the event.
“Carbon works for me, but not for you,” was probably the motto of the climate experts in attendance.
United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Steel said on Tuesday, UK agrees to “new target to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035”for its new NDC. This is an improvement from the previously unattainable 78%.
In case you're wondering, “NDC” means “National Development Contribution” in the United Nations language. But it could also be called NBB, or “National Bankruptcy of the United Kingdom.”
Because the government’s plans are tantamount to setting Britain’s development back decades.
The British independent news website describes what must happen as a result of the UK's commitment at the UN conference:
The CCC (Committee on Climate Change) said that by 2035, electricity needs to achieve zero carbon emissions, phasing out natural gas power generation that does not have the technology to capture and store carbon emissions, and 70% of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (especially offshore wind power).
It also said sales of natural gas boilers need to be phased out by 2033, with most homes switching to electric heat pumps.
Sales of new petrol and diesel cars, motorcycles and vans (including plug-in hybrids) must be phased out by 2032, with most new sales ending in 2030.
People should also be encouraged to reduce meat and dairy consumption by 20% by 2030, which would free up land for the restoration of peatlands, allowing them to absorb carbon and plant trees.
Consultants said demand for other carbon-intensive activities would also need to be cut, including slowing flight growth, reducing car travel, reducing waste and promoting recycling.
Does it sound like a place you'd like to live? Eat less? Stop traveling? Just buy an electric car?
It’s basically a climate police state, which is exactly what the UK’s far-left government intends.
No, it's not over yet. This sacrifice continues without outweighing the economic benefits, and it is happening across Europe, with alarming and predictable results.
