It is official, CO₂ is not the villain and Net-Zero is a crock of Sh@#!

Those of you that pay attention will have noted a recent speech at the United Nations General Assembly in which President Trump labelled Climate Change as the biggest con job. 

Shortly after which there was a deafening cacophony from the Climate Alarmists labelling him as a danger to mankind. But it got me thinking is he right?  After-all he has been proven correct so many times in the past, so I did a little digging, and lo and behold I found a report from the Americalands very own Department of the Environment written by no less than five eminent climate professors that seem to vindicate the Presidents position. And that, my friends, is where the CO2 Net Zero debate really heats up.

So why have you not heard about it, well it doesn’t fit the narrative of net-Zero that is why and of course the DOE does not want you to know that we have all been sold a lie.  Now, if you ever wanted a masterclass in shutting down a debate without refuting a single line of evidence, step into the Department of Energy’s latest circus act.

The five scientists, appointed by the DOE as their very own climate advisory committee, had the audacity, or was it temerity, to finish their work, publish their findings, and sign their names. Their report didn’t toe the alarmist party line. It questioned the economic doom scenarios, poked holes in the “net-zero or bust” mantra, and even suggested that CO₂ might not be the archvillain it’s made out to be. And this is where the CO2 Net Zero debate really heats up: instead of tackling the science head-on, the DOE critics shut the committee down on a technicality, sparking even more attention and controversy.

Flaming well unforgivable right!

But here’s the clever bit the Climate Alarmist critics at the DOE didn’t bother challenging the science. They challenged the seating plan. Federal Advisory Committee Act violations! they cried. No notices, no “balanced” viewpoints. I will give you a translation of that; They didn’t defend the findings. They simply pulled the plug. No committee, no problem. Wipe the slate clean.

And here’s where it gets deliciously ironic: by axing the group, DOE gave its opponents a free pass to dismiss the report as “flawed” and “illegitimate.” But in trying to bury the thing, they made it famous, and I am going to help them. Downloads spiked. Podcasts dissected it. People who wouldn’t have read a government memo if you paid them were suddenly lining up to see what all the fuss was about.

Congratulations, DOE. You’ve reinvented the Streisand Effect for the climate debate. The harder you tried to make this inconvenient analysis vanish, the more oxygen you gave it. In fact it is all a little like watching a man set his trousers on fire to prove that heating is too expensive.

The report’s heresies? That CO₂ warming isn’t the death knell for civilisation, that rapid decarbonisation is a wasteful misallocation, and that cheap energy has been mankind’s greatest ally. Political dynamite, no doubt, which explains the procedural firing squad.

But here’s the kicker: you can kill the committee, you can smear the scientists, you can argue about process until the cows come home. What you can’t do is unpublish a report that’s already out in the wild.

And thanks to DOE’s blundering attempt at suppression, far more people are now reading it than ever would have otherwise.

Well done, gentlemen. If the goal was to silence the debate, you’ve only turned up the volume.  Now before all of you nay-sayers out there jump all over me and accuse me of being a climate denier, please remember that I was once a geologist, I know that there is no such thing as a stable climate my argument has always been that 97% of CO₂ emissions come from nature and shaving even 10% from the anthropogenic contribution will amount to the square root of not much.
