The Right talks a good game on Net Zero scepticism. But, as the latest report from the Centre for Policy Studies shows, it's still clinging to myths about 'cheap' renewables and rejecting fossil fuels, says Ben Pile.
The Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has warned climate sceptics they are in for a "nasty surprise" as the globe passes 1.7°C. Ben Pile, however, is unfazed by the prospect of being slightly warmer.
Tony Blair's Institute has laid into Ed Miliband and his Clean Power 2030 agenda, blaming it for driving up energy bills. But all is not as it seems, says Ben Pile: Blair is no less committed than Mad Ed to Net Zero 2050.
Ed Miliband has announced £1 billion for something called "community energy". It's a Left-wing experiment that expensively failed when it was tried before and will fail again, says Ben Pile.
Green finance has failed even on its own terms. Researchers from Stanford, Harvard and London Business School found ESG policies did "not improve funds' green credentials". But they did imperil our pensions, says Ben Pile.
The EU has endorsed the UN's Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change, cooked up at COP30 in Brazil last year. The bloc is now in a state of open war with facts and free debate, says Ben Pile.
Ed Miliband has signed a pact with the EU to build huge wind farms in the North Sea, claiming this will boost "energy security" by avoiding price spikes. But this is the "energy security" enjoyed by cavemen, says Ben Pile.
It's time to stop pretending to go along with the ideologies of the powerful and speak the truth, declared Mark Carney at Davos. He was talking about Trump. But his words apply with equal force to Net Zero, says Ben Pile.
Climate sceptics are winning the media war, with Net Zero critical newspaper editorials in the majority for the first time, according to analysis by Carbon Brief. But of course we are, says Ben Pile: facts don't lie.
Is that a crack in the mainstream media? Sky's new documentary blames Net Zero for gutting Britain's industry. But then asks why no one is talking about deindustrialisation. Because you kicked 'deniers' off the airwaves!
