By |2026-06-08T04:30:42+02:00June 7, 2026|

It’s now 20 years since the publication of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change. This review began the UK-drive towards the crazy carbon-phobic policies which are helping to impoverish the nation, aided by unrealistic scenarios. Today, even Tony Blair can perceive that the pursuit of Net Zero is unwarranted and harmful to Britain.

Why Aren’t Democrats Fighting Back? Morano on Turning Point in U.S. Climate Politics

By |2026-06-04T14:40:22+02:00June 5, 2026|

Democrats and American environmental groups have grown strangely quiet on climate, says Marc Morano in a recent podcast with Tom Nelson. “It’s the complete and total collapse of everything we’ve covered over the last two decades of the climate movement.”

Dutch Climate ‘Hero’ Donald Pols Had Far-Right Past; Friends of the Earth Knew

Donald Pols was one of the most recognisable figures in the Dutch environmental movement. In 2021, he achieved a landmark victory when a Dutch court ruled that Shell must accelerate its emissions reductions. Following his highly controversial move to Tata Steel last month, it has now emerged that Pols was chairman of the Afrikaner Student Front (ASF) during his youth—a far-right student organisation that opposed the dismantling of apartheid. Friends of the Earth Netherlands, his former employer, has been aware of this part of his past for at least five years.

Friends of the Earth Netherlands recently filed an appeal with the Dutch Hoge Raad against Shell and the Mens en Milieu Foundation in a last effort to force the company to implement significant worldwide emissions reductions. Lucas Bergkamp, a physician and attorney in Brussels, assisted Mens en Milieu in the proceeding and reported on the hearing: “Friends of the Earth looked tired and sounded like a spoiled child.”

RCP8.5 Has Been Dropped: What It Means — and What It Doesn’t

By |2026-05-29T17:06:02+02:00May 30, 2026|

Dropping RCP8.5 is a step in the right direction but the CERES Team fears that it’s only a small step. The IPCC still looks set to be relying on the current climate computer models for their “climate change projections”. Even using a more realistic “business-as-usual” emissions scenario, their models are still going to simulate dramatic “human-caused global warming”.
