The Price of Energy Was the Beginning of Wisdom. The Price of Energy Will Perpetuate That Enlightenment!

Benny Peiser’s Global Warming Policy Foundation Reprots Britain’s New Energy & Climate Minister Sets Up Meeting With Nigel Lawson andUN Climate Talks Deadlocked Again


Britain’s New Energy and Climate Minister Sets Up Meeting With Nigel Lawson - Amber Rudd, [the new Energy and Climate Change Secretary], pledged to keep pressuring the Big Six energy suppliers to cut their bills and to do her best to win over climate change sceptics – both in and outside her party. Ms Rudd admits the Conservative Party has an issue with climate change sceptics – although she insists that Labour harbours just as many MPs who are sceptical. She has set up a meeting with Lord Lawson, Britain’s most high-profile climate-change sceptic, as the first part of her campaign to win over the doubters. “I will be having a conversation with him. I’m hoping to win him over, so great is my ambition. But we will see.” --Tom Bawden, The Independent, 5 June 2015-

(My Take - This girl is delusional!  These people are at the center of the information world.  There's no excuse for the world's leaders believing in anthropogenic climate change, unless their delusional, dumb as dirt or both!  Either way they should be washing dishes in a restaurant, not running government. )

UK Government Winds Down Green Energy Schemes, Trims DECC - In order to save money it is being proposed that the controversial Green Deal home improvement plan should be mothballed while some spending on nuclear decommissioning would be delayed. Overall, DECC’s £3.3bn annual budget is expected to be one of the biggest casualties in percentage terms of George Osborne’s latest austerity drive. The department has already lost the equivalent of one full-time minister following last month’s reshuffle and there are expected to be significant staff cuts as big projects such as the Green Deal and Electricity Market Reform are wound down. --Oliver Wright and Tom Bawden, Independent on Sunday, 7 June 2015

Surprise: UN Climate Talks Deadlocked Again - The European Union (EU) has said it is unlikely to enhance before 2020 its commitment to reducing emissions linked to climate change. The statement at the ongoing climate change negotiations in Bonn, Germany, has led to a war of words between the EU and the developing countries under the G77+ China grouping. India and China are taking the lead. --Nitin Sethi, Business Standard, 7 June 2015

US Congress Bill Drops Funding For IPCC, Green Climate Fund - Just months before the most important U.N. climate conference in years, Republican appropriators in the House of Representatives are taking aim at one of the Obama administration’s most cherished priorities – international climate change funding. An appropriations bill for the State Department and foreign operations, released Tuesday, excludes funding for three major climate initiatives – the Green Climate Fund, the Clean Technology Fund, and the Strategic Climate Fund – and also removes funding for the U.N.-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). --Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, 4 June 2015

(My Take - No matter what the outcome is in the final budget - this is the beginning of the end for the warmists.  Chicken Little has run her course and the public's no longer so easily intmidated by the leftists or the greenies.  These radicals are going to find things are going to get worse for them thanks to the internet.  The written word gave credibility to the environmental movement with the public.  That was the driving force behind this misanthropic movement and that is now the driving force that's dismantling them.  If the public can't be convinced via articles and books the green movement is irrational, misanthropic, morally defective and insane, then no amount of lobbying will change anything.  We have to start with education, and the first and foremost thing the public has to be made aware of is they've been lied to for over fifty years starting the book that can easily be credited with the formation of the modern environmental movement - Rachel Carson's work of science fiction - Silent Spring!)

And Finally: 'Green' G7 Nations Increased Their Coal Use Over A Five-Year Period - Five of the world’s seven richest countries have increased their coal use in the last five years despite demanding that poor countries slash their carbon emissions to avoid catastrophic climate change, new research shows. Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan and France together burned 16% more coal in 2013 than 2009 and are planning to further increase construction of coal-fired power stations. Only the US and Canada of the G7 countries meeting on Monday in Berlin have reduced coal consumption since the Copenhagen climate summit in 2009. -John Vidal, The Guardian, 8 June 2015
