There is a particular historical irony in the timing. On the same day King Charles III ascends the throne, previously Europe’s most isolated from consequence – yet loudest voice in chasing the catastrophic climate change energy policies, the British government is forced to reverse course on years of energy regulations and restrictions.
Britain’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss announced, “a new round of oil and gas licensing will come next week with more than 100 licenses issued. A moratorium on fracking will be lifted and planning permission can be sought where there is local support,” in an urgent emergency effort to lower energy costs for British citizens.
The move comes in combination with a government plan to help citizens and businesses cope with skyrocketing prices for electricity and home heating fuel. The climate change chickens have come home to roost throughout Europe and the British government is urgently trying to head-off the calamitous consequences.
Inside the media announcements of the Truss plan, the biggest concern expressed is how the financial and multinational banking sector (the ESG investment groups) will respond to the government position. After decades of ideological “green” outlooks flowing into the energy industry, the biggest concern expressed in the financial analysis is how a reversal by such a large economic system will reverberate.
The climate change ideology has a stranglehold on the energy sector of the economy, this move by Great Britain would be the most significant push-back in decades. The minority green activists are apoplectic that they may lose control over the majority of opinion. The economics of a reversal in energy policy could reverberate throughout the western alliance, particularly in Europe. It will be interesting to see whether this shift in U.K. policy has ripple effects in the U.S.
LONDON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – Britain’s move to green-light dozens of new oil and gas fields will leave investors and banks with a tough PR job as Britain struggles to shore up its energy security whilst sticking to its climate commitments.
Starting new oil and gas projects runs counter to the world’s shift away from fossil fuels in the fight against global warming and a commitment at last November’s U.N. climate talks to phase down their use.
Yet runaway inflation amid conflict in Ukraine has forced the hand of new British prime minister Liz Truss as Russian President Putin seeks to use energy as a weapon this winter.
Britain will launch a new round of oil and gas licensing next week with more than 100 licenses issued, part of a wider package of measures to tackle the energy crisis announced by Truss on Thursday.
And Britain’s not alone in reassessing its energy strategy. Germany, for example, has been forced to turn back to even dirtier thermal coal to help fuel its power plants and keep the lights on, hampering short-term efforts to rein in climate-damaging carbon emissions.
But for energy companies and the investors, bankers and insurers that finance them, new investment in fossil fuels also presents a challenge given many have made their own pledges to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century.
“This will absolutely hinder companies’ … ability to hit their climate targets,” said Pietro Bertazzi, global director of policy engagement and external affairs at non-profit environmental disclosure platform CDP. (read more)
This is the first crack in the western alliance and the ‘climate change’ agenda of the World Economic Forum as it relates to energy policy and ultimately control over human life within the alliance.
The war in Ukraine was being used as a justification to explain the consequences of European energy policy, particularly rapidly increasing costs for energy and food, but the war in Ukraine was not the cause. The true root cause of the exploding inflation and economic mess was the Build Back Better agenda, and the series of policies dictated from within it, that each nation willingly accepted.
Green energy…
dies this Winter.
Ed357: Haven’t you heard? No winter this year, because, climate change and environmental equity.
Hopefully the World will give this Green Energy BS a proper burial and say Never Again to Soros and the WEF.
I looked up to see how old Soros was. He’s 92. Law of averages would show that his time is short…if he’s even human.
Of course his evil seed offspring are already gleeful participants in his many efforts.
He has some sons that allegedly are worse than he is.
I suspect he is using the blood of children to avoid death.
Either that or a lot of Germans freeze in the dark this winter.
Funniest part for me of all this nonsense. They still don’t realize that if they’d been correct, we wouldn’t even be having frigid winters anymore.
I have been saying that for years.
It’s “climate change” now, not “global warming”. Get with the program. lol
Actually its “climate crisis” now. Covers all bases.
i want to see te green eyed germans learn to piss in the dark………………………..
Little by little, even the once blind leaders of countries, are beginning to see climate change for what it really is. A fabrication, BS, a hoax, a fairy tale.
Comment moved up.
I disagree. They are unteachable religious zealots. They just don’t want their heads on a chopping block.
yup. they KNOW the mob will come for their head. they just trying to save their own asses now.
Indeed.
Those bunkers in New Zealand must be getting awfully crowded.
Glad others see that this whole climate change hysteria is a religion.
Every one of them knew it for the grift it was all along.
They weren’t the least bit prepared to defend themselves from their starving, freezing citizens for the benefit of Klaus & his cronies.
The Pied Pipers of Hamelin . . .
in the NWO version, they don’t get rid of the rats, they ARE the rats . . .
” even the once blind leaders of countries, are beginning to see climate change for what it really is.”
It’s a wealth transfer hoax. They never believed any of it. They’ve stuffed their suitcases and paid their masters – now winter and hordes of cold hungry citizens are getting too close for comfort.
Meanwhile, closer to home, Joe Biden still stuck on stupid.
I noticed that. Seems the “leaders” in the UK and other countries in the EU might be a bit worried about what hordes of freezing and starving citizens might do when the weather gets chilly.
I don’t see our leaders showing that concern.
They are not our leaders.
True. Of course they think of themselves as our “rulers” too. What they really are I would say is our “enemies”.
“The winter of death.” doesn’t mean what FJB thinks it means.
Meanwhile, the Chinese are negotiating a 20 year contract for 3 Trillion cubic feet of liqified US Natural Gas.
If that deal goes through, it will quadruple the price of Natural Gas for you and me.
Well spotted. They do not care about the hardships of their subjects, er, …I mean citizens, but only how they might “act out.”
They have concerns of greater import going after Steve Bannon (so far 35 raids!), President Trump and all perceived enemies of democracy and entities who they deem ‘threats to national security and democracy’, busy housing and feeding the millions of illegals already in this country with more entering; than real and immediate prospects of this country’s MAGA everyday freezing, starving citizens
As you know, this is all intentional OCN……
He is but a puppet, and I am sure, this is known to you.
These aren’t likely to go online before spring.
Of what year?
2024. There is an acute shortage of drilling and fracking equipment worldwide.
Im not sure where you come to that conclusion, but since I am attached in several ways to oil production in Canada, there is no shortage of parked equipment or workers to operate said equipment.
They are forced to let it all sit there, gathering dust.
Dont underestimate the workers ability’s to start it all back up, in a moments notice. I have heard of 0 shortages in the supply chain in regards to parts and/or equipment here.
Id prefer a citation to back up your statement, fellow CTH’er, with all the respect you are due. I am an individual who is directly involved in this sort of work. Your post doesnt pass the smell test here, in Canada. I would be impressed if you could back it up, with proof. As it could affect my outlook, if it were true.
No… but it’s a good good start. At least Britain is now far ahead of Germany, which is still wedded to the insanity of green cult worship. The smartest thing Britons did was vote themselves out of the EU madhouse.
Yes! And now that they are a Sovereign Country, it is past time for them to start acting like they are. I think Jacob Rees Moog is the right person to be Director of energy. He is conservative.
Eff the EU. The poor bass turd citizens in the EU countries… I pity them.
Rees Mogg I like very much. He is the Business Secretary, as I’m sure you know, and will fill his duties well in that position.
When the position of PM was open (Johnson eventually won) I thought he would make a fine Prime Minister. But for most he was a bit stodgy. A devout Roman Catholic with I believe 6 children.
I have since changed my opinion. I believe he will make a much better “Indian” than “Chief”. There are those who are very accomplished who shine best when not in a leadership role. My feeling is that he is one of those. I hope so. In any event, at some moment, I suspect that like his father before him, he will be enobled.
I understand your point, Betsy. But I think as a Catholic with his 5 children, he will make a fine leader. Yes, “stodgy” compared to the clowns who do not appreciate the basic rights of people, to have God, family, the right to be secure with food and fuel….
It’s not that which makes me change my mind…not at all, and I sincerely hope I didn’t give the impression that it did.
My point was that in modern day Britain his solid, upper class situation with a large stable family life is not generally in favour with the public. I say that as one who came to know the British very well through having lived there. In Mrs Thatcher’s time, he would have been just perfect.
But times I am sorry to say have changed…and not for the better. I admire the man tremendously for all the reasons I stated. Plus his first class brain.
Electorally though, given what Britain is now, I believe the public would not were he chosen Conservative leader, thus PM favour him in a general election. Of course this is my opinion only.
Therefore, for the times we are in, I’d rather see him apply his not inconsiderable talents where they can make the biggest impact. He is singularly in a position now to do a lot of good in a government which in the last few years has very nearly brought that country to its knees.
I wish him Godspeed in this endeavour.
….because as horrible as the immediate past Conservative Party have governed, a Labour government would be the worst of any world imaginable. This Conservative Party under a weak Truss has a lot of redeeming to do. I hope she proves everyone wrong; and that Britain, now out of the clutches of a depopulationist, dark green Johnson (and, I must stress, his odious Clinton initiative wife), can recover from the nightmare which has been inflicted on every man, woman, and child who lives there.
Betsy, if I may, you are a one-off and always spot on. As usual, a well-conceived and written post. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and wisdom.
I do thank you, Piper…a very very nice thing to write.
BP is a big outfit, they might be able to pull off a miracle or two.
They are, UncleGrumpy. May it be so.
BP is a green wash company, who knows what’s left on the petroleum production professional side.
Also BP strengths before were in geology and political manipulation. Then it acquired some skilled people with Amoco and ARCO. But BP’s catastrophic rate over the years is pretty bad.
But the German people are protesting. The Germans are not willing to freeze to death and are not going to sit and accept.
Finally! Yes, they are starting. But the tyrannical Sholz, the disturbed and delusional Habeck, and the big mouth Baerbock who said the government’s first, nay only, concern was its promise to (repulsive phrase) “Stand with Ukraine”, no matter how badly the German people suffered…and suffer they certainly will.
I am truly hoping that the normally acquiescent Germans are starting to realize what their ” betters” have in store and will start becoming more vocal.
Until then, however, they are in the clutches of a nihlist group of genocidal fantasists. The population better start their resistance quickly.
Do the young people get told about the dangers of being a lemming by their parents and grandparents? I remember learning about them at a young age and not wanting to be a lemming.
I was just looking them up on Wikipedia to see where lemmings come from and if they do actually commit suicide en masse by jumping off cliffs . . . per Wikipedia, that is generally regarded as a myth . . . it’s not that they are actually planning to kill themselves but they misjudge when jumping off the cliff hoping to swim to the other side of the water and it doesn’t quite pan out. Per an 1877 magazine article, they were in search of the Lost Continent of Lemuria but I don’t see why that would be as “Lemuria” actually pertains to lemurs, not lemmings.
“Lemmings have become the subject of a widely popular misconception that they are driven to commit mass suicide when they migrate by jumping off cliffs. It is not a deliberate mass suicide, in which animals voluntarily choose to die, but rather a result of their migratory behavior. Driven by strong biological urges, some species of lemmings may migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. They can swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat. In such cases, many drown if the body of water is an ocean or is so wide as to exceed their physical capabilities. Thus, the unexplained fluctuations in the population of Norwegian lemmings, and perhaps a small amount of semantic confusion (suicide not being limited to voluntary deliberation, but also the result of foolishness), helped give rise to the popular stereotype of the suicidal lemmings, particularly after this behaviour was staged in the Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in 1958.[11] The misconception itself is much older, dating back to at least the late 19th century. In the August 1877 issue of Popular Science Monthly, apparently suicidal lemmings are presumed to be swimming the Atlantic Ocean in search of the submerged continent of Lemuria.[12]
Another myth may have roots in the fiercely aggressive nature of lemmings during population booms, and the corresponding leftovers of predatory frenzies: lemmings do not explode”
Ha was wondering the same thing.
They aren’t going to be able to turn on the power overnight.
They’re still going to freeze this winter, unless they grovel before Putin.
This almost makes me giddy.
Are you an American citizen? In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the same situation as the rest of the Western World.
Not at all. We sure as hell don’t depend on Russia for our gas and oil.
No, right now we are depending on the Bidet Administration for gas and oil. If they can figure out a way to drastically reduce it further (as in selling to China or Europe), they will do so.
I don’t think those coal fired plants are just gonna come online in a day or two either.
This is just so the powers that be can say that they’re doing everything they can.
It’s big bad business that’s slow walking these things.
What ? Our or your climate queen isn’t even cold yet and they start fracking ?
This is a sad day indeed ,
Sad for fracking? If so, why sad?
The technology is safe and effective contrary to the propaganda about it.
I think Yappy is being sarcastic. 🙂
Drill baby, drill!
Pump baby, pump!
Get my 401Ks back up!
Yes-all of the above and more.
I forsee another scam in the works to maintain and create more mechanisms for control.
Keep your eyes on the target. Total enslavement of the surviving deplorables the world over, is the endgame.
https://thepoliticalinsider.com/u-s-army-recommends-food-stamps-for-soldiers-struggling-with-inflation
Why would a fossil fuel producer risk investing billions in any of these projects.
Politicians turn on a dime when it benefits them
Just look how Boris Johnson governed
Well, Boris is no longer the PM. Please try to keep up.
You missed the point sync made. It matters not the name attached to the suit, but rather the suit itself. Politicians are all interchangeable.
And “royalty” are unelected politicians.
“Please try to keep up”?? You misread sync’s comment and then you insulted him. He used past tense, you should have understood he was not referring to the current PM.
Welcome to moderation….
Congratulation to the British Government for having an IQ over 50.
Obviously, ours doesn’t even have that.
The earliest that anything would be on, would 2024. Two very miserable winters, farms, industries, livelihoods destroyed.
It’s very difficult to bring back an economy. When the supply chain is gone, your workers with domain knowledge are buried from issues with the clot shot. Replacement parts not being made.
Going to be going from crisis to crisis to crisis. ALL Systems are going to be overwhelmed.
That woman Truss may be evil, but she’s not stupid either …
How dare they!
So they are going to be heroes for [partially] solving a problem they created ?
Albeit probably too late. After all it IS September.
It’s the gubberment way!
UK Govt is trying to avoid total political devastation after the excess deaths from cold this winter.
Truss is right to do this, but it is too late for this coming winter.
That said, “the bloom is off the rose” for Green nonsense now. It is life or death. Wealth or Poverty. Feast or Famine.
Starvation, freezing to death, and poverty, have a way of focusing the mind.
Didn’t the WEF think that the masses, the citizens, would speak up???
Hopefully, the GND, the WEF, and all of their constituents will be devolved and called out for their Globalist nonsense that they pushed, only to GET THEM RICH.
The WEF do not care about anyone but themselves, the “masses” be damned.
It also isn’t about “riches”.
It is about Power and Ideology.
They actually believe that the Optimum World is 500 Million people who serve Them and make everything Sustainable. Therefore, 7 Billion people need to be removed, so that the Elite may coexist with their version of Gaia, in perpetuity.
This has nothing to do with anything except an Elite Ruling Class that is served by a Controlled caste of slaves.
The problem is that the Elite have no idea how to make modern technology function, how to actually power a world, how agriculture, chemistry, energy production, medicine, actually work. They are drunk on their own arrogance and egos. It is past time to make them powerless.
As others have pointed out, the “rich” part pre-existed the globalist agenda of the WEF for most of the “elites.”
Extravagant wealth is pretty much a given for them. The more dangerous part of their agenda is the power and control over all of us in every aspect of our lives from what we eat, where we live, where we go, how many children we have, what drugs we are forced to take, how long we are allowed to live etc. etc.
They cleverly mask most of this with the favorite of younger generations—“sustainability.” Very few Americans have the first clue about any of this even though the WEF and the UN have given us the details in Agendas 2021 and 2030.
Most Americans are more interested in football.
Indeed, inhability to feel empathy, in other words, psycopathic traits, that to make things worse are hereditary at least partially. They marry among themselves and many families atheist now for several generations …and here we are.
I believe the will of self preservation will ultimate prevail in America too. As winter approaches and the cost of everything is beyond people ability to buy their food and gas survival instinct will kick in. It also won’t hurt for Christians to humble themselves and ask the Lord for forgiveness and victory against the satanic forces that are taking over this Country.
Get real. Christians humbling themselves has nothing to do with the Left’s war on America. Christians do exactly that, on their own time; they also know when we are being screwed.
Sad. It is you who needs to “get real.”
Rita, you’re excessively antagonistic in this forum. Why are you insulting a religious person? I’m an atheist and I wouldn’t even do that. I understood what LtoL meant. In an interaction above you misread someone’s comment and then insulted them for it. Calm down. Sheesh.
You said that you are an atheist which means you do not believe in God. But God is real and He will confirm His existence if you seek Him sincerely. You might take the time to pray and ask God to reveal Himself to you and let you know that He exists. You might also read the Bible and ask God to show you what He would like for you to know about Him. He will hear you and answer if you ask sincerely.
It might take time because God is an eternal being and is in no hurry. He will reveal His existence to you at the proper time. Because God is spirit, He will let you know within your spirit that He is real.
God cares about us so much that He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for us. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Jesus Christ loves us so much that He died on a cross for our sins and He wants to help us with all of our problems if we will ask Him sincerely.
God wants people to know the truth about Him and people can know that He is real by asking Him to reveal Himself. Atheists usually believe in evolution and are taught that mankind are physical beings but they do not believe that humans are spiritual in nature. Prayer is the way to ask God to reveal Himself because God is spirit and has given us each a spirit with which to know Him. He wants us to spend eternity with Him.
Good comment. I assume your “won’t hurt” comment about Christians was tongue in cheek.
That is the ONLY answer.
Necessity is the mother of capitulation.
Speaking of bad (really bad) energy …. and sickness
Who is Dr. Demetre Daskalakis?
https://greatgameindia.com/steal-soul-demetre-daskalakis/
He’s a perverted freak that works for Joe Biden. Almost wish I didn’t know more!
Never anywhere in the world has green energy exceeded 30% of the total and even that at a huge price. It is becoming obvious that the elite plan to solve demand for energy by eliminating a huge amount of the customers ie us.
I have a fascination with the era of the Clipper Ships and the Cutty Sark.
Maybe their going to make a come back!
Whistle pissers.
“Not For Profit”
Is possibly the most profane word group in the universe. May they all perish.
What about “NGO” ? They are also in the running for most profane . . .
It appears as though We The Plebes refuse to go along with the WEF Global Warmist constructed Net Zero Jonestown … we refuse mass economic suicide. Who wouldda thought. We won’t drink the KoolAid
“Fracking” does not sound very British. We need something more dignified. Something more aristocratic. More royal.
How about, “Funnelling money to front companies owned by the Crown?”
Its always about money,at least its reality based.
It really doesn’t matter who gets rich if the job gets done.
Many here seem to believe in something other than capitalism.
Profits are the DESERVED fruits of labor, smarts, and delivery of needed goods (energy) … PROFIT is not a bad word. Profit is essential to our high standards of living. The Marxists who sneer at PROFITS deliver only poverty and depravation.
“Inside the media announcements of the Truss plan, the biggest concern expressed is how the financial and multinational banking sector (the ESG investment groups) will respond to the government position. “
Let them eat cake.
Let them eat sh . .!
Some members of The Climate Gestapo secretly breath in a sigh of relief that a pause in their catastrophic polices which carry deadly consequences and human suffering may spare them retaliation from angry citizens of putting their heads on pikes in the public square.
boris johnson wants to be called to (miss) lead,
and hopes that the ‘green’ setup, high energy costs,
and impending cold winter (with low amount of heating etc. for people)
will hurt the opinion of the new pm (truss).
Meanwhile (farage suggested positive changes for truss to consider)
gb via truss are choosing to save gb – and their roles in the government…
better late, than never
and after being ‘woke (green between the ears)’ and misled for years…
the policy change is way, way late…
But the current effort is better
than suffering thru the cold, turning from green to purple between the ears – with maybe, just the hope of change.
p.s.
the policy change towards gaining a trusting base load of reliable energy,
was going to happen with queen elizabeth, or without… (with the new king, or without)…
because the positive change was and is needed by and for the people for life sustainability.
imho
Maybe Liz will turn out to be a ‘Great Britain First’ kind of leader. 👍🙏
Don’t hold your breath on that one.
It’s baffling and hard to understand, but there are people who–get this–don’t want to die shivering in the dark. Especially to facilitate a One-World Gubberment of Third-Rate Bond Villian Billionaires. Weird, huh?
Sorry, Chuck.
The WEF King ascends to the British throne (substack.com)–(that still remains to be seen)
Jordan Schachtel: “With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, humanity, and in particular, Western Civilization, has lost an absolute giant. She was a remarkable person from a remarkable era. She will be missed. Her successor, on the other hand, can best be understood as the WEF (World Economic Forum) king. King Charles is truly a king for our times, in the worst possible way imaginable. He is a perfect representation of the western ruling class and its pernicious agenda. Charles, to put it bluntly, is an anti-human reprobate, who has lived a life of disgrace, hypocrisy, and corruption. But his lifestyle is the least of the issues at hand. Charles is a king who has embraced and promoted the most destructive causes of our times. Most notably, Charles is both a climate catastrophist and an advocate for the depopulation agenda.” …….
“Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions. …Of more worth is one honest man to society, and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.”–Thomas Paine
These bums already helped the Uni-Party disenfranchise us. No More, Twisted Control Freaks.

“Twisted Control Freaks.” Perfect thre word description of the bunch.
What they tried to pull off, and still trying, forcing unwanted medical procedures like the clot shot on the peasants WE WILL NEVER forget not forgive. Such a God complex this SOBs….
What are all these old, ancient men doing?
I wish I had the answer to what more in life they feel they absolutely must have in their final years. Sometimes, like the past kings of Egypt and Rome, who built colossal buildings through the blood of unnumbered slaves, feel the world must remember them FOREVER as wonderful.
YUCK
The true root cause of the exploding inflation and economic mess is the Build Back Better agenda.
The left ALWAYS get it wrong .
Can’t wait for a picture of KC3 and FJB together. Now there’s a pair.
REALITY … she is a bitch
That’s the ultimate irony in all of this. Alot of these “Greens” have creates problems based on their “solutions”.
Nuclear Energy is safe and highly efficient, but in the “Green” Whack Jobs minds “dirty”, so they choose Lithium Batteries Vehicles that produce more waste in their production (mining of the Lithium) and still require the “dirty” sources of energy.
The “Green” way is not a solution, it was never a solution, it was just a means to permanently create graft for the “Green” High-Priests and not as a means to serve Mankind.
All the Greens ever do is hinder technological solutions with their Dogmas and force everyone to bow to their Golden Calf of Environmental Friendliness.
Part of that is that these… zealots if you will, have little understanding of physics, chemistry, engineering, economics and the like.
There are always tradeoffs. Byproducts are a result of every process to manufacture something useful. Always an opportunity cost to choose one thing over another. There are also effective maximum limits to efficiency. Carnot limit, laws of thermodynamics, etc.
Their “solutions” are no such thing, only a means, an incrementing of control in pursuit of greater power for the self styled elite. And lastly, this explains why they pretend to not know many of these things.
@R F Burns, SO MUCH AGREE HERE!
Most of the folks that I know here in San Francisco that are for the Green Crap, just take what they are spoon-feed as Fact that can’t be questioned or debated.
They can’t or won’t accept that everything has a trade-off. And that’s why here in California we had Rolling Blackout last week and warning from Nancy Piglosi’s Nephew Gavin to his subject “NOT TO CHARGE THEIR ENVIRONMENTALLY GREEN VEHICLES”.
I just hope we can not only survive these fools.
How can the Biden administration and the rest of the DNC morons be watching what’s happening in Europe and still believe we’re on the right track when it comes to energy? Are the that stupid or that evil?
Evil.
What? The Riefenstahl mood lighting at Biden’s last address to the nation didn’t tip you off?
“Are they that stupid or that evil?”
Yes!
Somebody mentioned that the Green Agenda dies this winter.
But it will keep rising from the grave, yet the coming Maunder Minimum (i.e. cyclical, low solar activity leading to less warmth here on Earth) will keep killing it for years, possibly decades:
“…The Maunder Minimum was unquestionably chilly: alpine glaciers in Europe encroached on farmland; the Netherlands’ canals froze every winter; and frost fairs on the UK’s frozen Thames River became a common sight.
Solar scientists have calculated that the sun’s heat and light output, a quantity known as the total solar irradiance, decreased by 0.22% during the Maunder minimum, which is about four times its normal rise or fall over an 11-year cycle….
Other solar researchers have also predicted an imminent grand solar minimum, but for different reasons. One of the earliest predictions was by German astronomer and scholar, Theodor Landscheidt, in 2003.
Landscheidt predicted a protracted cold period centered on the year 2030, based on his observations of an 87-year solar cycle known as a Gleissberg cycle, which has been linked to regional climate fluctuations such as flooding of the Nile River in Africa.
A more recent prediction, based on a longer 210-year solar cycle, is that of Russian astrophysicist Habibullo Abdussamatov. He projects a more extended period of global cooling than either Zharkova or Landscheidt, lasting as long as 65 years, with the coldest interval around 2043….”

Both.
They are getting rich off the green while they collapse the American economy. They do not care about consequences.
To these freaks, we are pests to be exterminated. When we line up for their poison injections, it reaffirms their belief that we are too stupid to exist. Globalists are extremely impatient to plunder the earth we now occupy.
Only God can save humanity from such evil.
Everything woke goes to shit.
The UK is finally realizing the problem and the solution.
Now, if only someone could knock some common sense into Brandon’s thick skull.
So far, PM Liz Truss is honoring her leadership campaign promises and the urgency of encouraging energy production in the UK certainly helped. But as SD noted the new King Charles III will not be happy. Her next big policy should be removing the UK from the control of the international Euro Courts so they can close their open southern border.
I posted a comment sometime ago hoping that the USA, Canada and the UK would soon have actual Conservative gov’ts in control that can unite on the major policies and reverse the attacks on the West.
Pierre Poilievre just won the Conservative leadership race in Canada with over 68 % of the votes in the 1st and only round. He had been campaigning on increased energy production of oil and gas production in Canada as well as other genuine Conservative policies that would reverse the Trudeau madness. He seems genuine but so far it is still only the “talking stage” for him unlike PM Truss that is in the 2nd stage.
A previous PM found an effective solution for Charles I over asserting his royal perogatives.
Charles III would do well to remember.
Especially since a twofer with Camelia, a double header, would likely be overwhelmingly popular.
So this a good move but it won’t solve the problems of this coming winter in the UK.
The best we can hope for is for a better winter in the UK come 2023.
The silver lining of all this is to awaken the importance of energy.
The fact is we live on a ball of energy 30× the size of the Earth, if we tap its nuclear potential.
The very same technology that can destroy civilization can also save it.
God has placed before us the choice of Life or Death.
He also implored us to choose life.
Come winter, when the families are stuck with rations on heat and food, they and their kids have to shower and bathe with cold water in a cold room and then eat garbage for breakfast and dinner, they will wake up.
There is no reason for this unsustainable “life” except to make the oligarchs richer, and for us to be their serfs.
silver lining is the numerous photo ops of thousands of euro-peons in the streets raising hell
Are they recovering, finally, from their madness?
Just putting it on hold until after the winter recess …
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Finally the green meanie enablers wake up to reality.
ROFLMAO
This likley doesn’t help the UK this winter.
Sorry Greta. Looks like the King’s gonna quit the movement too. We’ll see.
Just how maddeningly dishonest is Reuters reporting.
The global media feeding into state media is like a sledgehammer. Never lets up.
Reality has a way of reasserting itself, even against the climate zealots.
This may be the beginning of the end for the WEF and the Church of Climate Change.
..too late…and they are going to drag us down with them….
ohellno
Curious < could England do this if hadn’t done Brexit ? if still part of the EU , would the Brussel’s EU bureaucract’s overrule them and command them to get back in line ?
I bet greta has pooped her britches.
Her leaders hose her lederhosen.
…the leftists have caused this…the obiden admin will kill people this winter…they will freeze to death in their own homes…mark my words…
Once again, it came down to the Russians to finally crack the Fourth Reich.
How prophetic.
It’s going to be a very cold winter for Globalism, indeed.
Pray for the people who never wanted any of it.
…time to turn the page…cancel all previous posters….happens every time….
Hallelujah!
Brits, show the way!
You would think, that with the sky rocketing costs of energy and how much energy is going to be needed to heat homes and businesses this winter, that they would see global warming as a good thing.
…page two coming in three two one….hide the past
How many companies are going to get the band back together, so to speak? Really, who is going to restart an oil drilling/fracking company when you know that by springtime the government will shut you down again? They are only doing this because world wide catastrophe when the commie greenies are in charge won’t bode well for US midterm elections.
They are just loosening the noose around our necks, temporarily. They will regroup and find a new way to gradually destroy our economies. I guess the whole “It’s Putin’s fault” propaganda did not reverberate with the little people.
…Europe is one cold place…WAY above noo yourk city….the only reason it is habitable is the effect of the Gulf Stream…the criminal Biden admin needs to unnerstand one thingg…vladimer has got you by the balls…y’all outsmarted yourselves…and you WILL pay the price…see you in november
Trailer park queen…
White Trash Beautiful….
You better see them in November, because a lot will probably freeze to death shortly after.
Lol, ocean currents flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. That means hot water from the equator flows north along the US east coast (that’s why its so muggy on the east coast) to the arctic and then that cold water flows south along Europes west coast (that’s why the French Rivera has California weather).
Um, no. There are palm trees that grow in Ireland, because the Gulf Stream crosses the Atlantic, flowing north toward Ireland.
Palm trees in Ireland….would have never guessed that one…
Actually the water flows north, when cold the water sinks allowing more warmer water to flow north. Basic earth science.
