In the middle of a cold snap, the green UK is turning to coal, the dirtiest form of energy, thus following in the footsteps of green-pushing Germany, which also turned to coal last summer in order to offset its gas crisis from a Russian gas restriction. Willful blindness doesn’t begin to describe the fakery of the green agenda as it is pushed upon those whom the elites deem to be inferior. The World Economic Forum is a major pusher of the green agenda. Some 2500 leaders from around the globe convened at Davos this year; 10% flew in on their gas-guzzling, polluting private jets, contradicting their own message, and they weren’t eating bugs for meals in Davos in order to save the planet. Norway is the UK’s main supplier of crude oil, but Russia is the primary supplier to Norway, so it’s a ripple effect.
The reality beyond green fantasies is that Russia is the biggest global exporter of oil and the second-largest exporter of crude oil after Saudi Arabia. So where does that leave Western leaders who back the green agenda?
The world’s biggest polluter is China. Even if you add up the five world’s biggest polluters after China, they still create less pollution than China in total. China produces nearly double the pollution that America does, and China won’t be told what to do by European and American climate change frauds anytime soon, or ever.
Globalists are unable to provide enough energy for their own citizens as they continue to propagate their lies about rescuing the planet. All that happens is that Western countries find themselves increasingly energy dependent as they destroy their own farming and energy industries. This makes them subservient to foreign enemies.
Germany finally had to admit it, saying “We were all wrong” in allowing the country to become dependent upon Russian energy; still, climate change frauds continue their crusade of deception as they line their pockets. Recall that German representatives at the UN laughed at Donald Trump in September 2018 for his accurate warning to the country about its dependency on Russian oil and about how dependence on foreign entities as a whole can lead to “extortion and intimidation.”
As the West declines due to the shortsightedness and greed of its globalist leaders, propped up by the naïveté of their followers, it isn’t those leaders who will suffer the most in the long run. Western populations need to wake up to the money-making scam of the elitist green agenda before it’s too late.

The UK government and the governments of many other countries are like a fool who has cut a branch off a tree ( their energy supply) when they are in a position on the branch where they will come tumbling to the ground (with a lack of energy in a cold Northern hemisphere winter) once they cut through the branch. I suppose that many people in all these societies have supported this gung ho, reckless approach to dealing with climate change (countering climate change does seem to be a big issue for many people I come across here in Australia though not one I care much about as I am unconvinced about its reality) and they are facing severe consequences now in the UK.

Read the science not the Socmed. In fact accoring to the Scientific American the climate scientists usually underestimate the projections they make
Jim J Fox says
Well said, Bill. I’m disappointed that that this site propagates delusional anti – CC nonsense, thus damaging its credibility. The writers display their bias & ignorance & should stick to their professed purpose – exposing Islam.
OF COURSE some countries have made bad decisions, denying CC & playing catch up. Just as this site continues to shoot itself in the foot!
The only alternative to gas is coal because they’ve not invested enough in green energy. However the Ukraine war has a silver lining- much of Europe is piling into renewables, finally realising they are far cheaper and immune from Russian blackmail.
Even Australia has lagged but is now well down the road to 100% green energy – so soon after sacking the Morrison religiously inspired denialist ‘government’.
OLD GUY says
Sorry but 100% GREEN will NEVER happen. And you will have to destroy one hell of a lot of the landscape to acquire the minerals and material to go totally green.
Wellington says
Uh-huh. Well, I’m disappointed that someone like you regularly displays their ignorance about the importance of an enlightened religion in order for a society to function optimally.
I know you think yourself open-minded, but again and again you reveal yourself here at JW as quite close-minded. You won’t get this of course.
Violet says
Follow the $…Green = $ for some and dire poverty even starvation for already impoverished countries.
Wellington says
What science? There is no hard scientific evidence whatsoever that man is causing catastrophic climate change. Indeed, it is quite possible that man is not causing any climate change. Doubt me? Well then, cite the evidence. I say you can’t. And don’t make the mistake of thinking that correlation studies and computer model projections (each, btw, with terrible track records) are scientific evidence. They are not.
Your turn if you care. Better come prepared.
bill carr says
This sounds bad but modern coal burning tecgnology has CO2 scubbers that reduce the amount released. Also it is temporary. It is better to burn some coal for a few weeks than to have people dying due to the severe weather conditions.
Jim J Fox says
Common sense, Bill. Wasted on most dimwits here.
rpejordan says
You have to remember, these people will never step away from their gas stoofs, private planes, steak, it is the people they so called take care of . Till at the end, but then it is to late.
I don’t feel sorry anymore for states that go bankrupt, people voted for these idiots. I live in Washington state, what a hell hole.
Dano50 says
Gee.
Guess nobody saw that comin’, huh?
The ONLY way people are going to learn this green/cow fart b.s., is b.s. is for them to ACTUALLY freeze and starve in the dark.
We’ve been trying, and trying, and trying to warn/educate them for DECADES now, paying higher taxes and putting up with ever stricter rules.
Well, I don’t care anymore.
People like me have seen this coming for years, and while things are probably going to get worse before they’re better, we have been doing the best we can to “Baton down the hatches.”
The reason the loonie left has gotten away with so much of this bunk, is because they NEVER personally pay for their mistakes, and like Margret Thatcher said, “The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of somebody else’s money.”
Have a nice day, lefties.
VictorMc says
I could not agree more. These people are complete maniacs.
Electric cars cannot nor ever can work with known tech. In a few years, they will be collector’s items
Coal/oil etc. will still be used in 100 years from now. Wind/solar etc. are fun but virtually useless. Nuclear is a strong possibility but remains marginal and mega-costly.
I won’t be here nor will you but it is guaranteed.
Sick to death of this crazy subject.
We are being subjugated to this lunacy by crackpots AKA ‘activists’ and their pals. in government coining it.
I repeat…”with known technology”
Jim J Fox says
Victor, your ignorance is colossal! Electric vehicles are a permanent reality; most established manufacturers have set dates to stop selling ICEs (do you understand?), some as early as 2025, mainly by 2030.
“Electric cars cannot nor ever can work with known tech. In a few years, they will be collector’s items”
You’re a complete moron if you really believe this rubbish. GROW UP!
Violet says
Activists with no brains. Each car needs to be plugged in for hours. How is that going to work in an apartment block? Where is all that electrical energy coming from? Where are the minerals for batteries sourced and by whom? Where will the dead batteries to be stored?
Windfarms use 20X the land that gas/oil drilling uses thus, destroying our natural land. Turbines kill billions+billions of birds. Birds eat insects that eat farm crops leaving us forced to use more pesticide …Another win for big pharma and a loss for the environment.
Siddi Nasrani says
Well said, & just to confirm what you said,” freeze & starve in the dark.” Its already happening in
Scotland.
Figures from the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) show that about 44 people a day were taken to hospital suffering from hypothermia during the first cold snap of the winter, between 1 and 18 December last year.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde – Scotland’s biggest health board – had 170 people taken to hospital with hypothermia in that period, when temperatures plummeted to minus double figures in many areas.
Will says the fact that someone is living in a freezing home is “weighed in” to the judgement he makes on whether or not they are safe to be left at home.
He added: “If they are not turning the heating on they are not going to feel better.
“Respiratory illnesses and seasonal bugs take hold much easier if they are not able to look after their basic needs such as food and heating.
“If they are not able to keep on top of that then they will get sick.”

How many hospitalised in an ‘average’ winter? These numbers don’t look like a dire emergency…

Green UK desperately orders coal-fired power plants to be ready for use in cold snap
……………………………………
I think we all saw this coming…
Jim J Fox says
Some countries didn’t. Norway is much colder than UK yet has no problem. Wonder why?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
They should look at building a few nuclear plants in the next few years, so that they don’t have that problem again
Jim J Fox says
Agreed. But… UK built the wrong kind of nuclear. Sizewell is a vast financial black hole.
We’re UK bureaucrats totally unaware of SMR technology?
James Lincoln says
Question:
Will the radical “greenies” protest against these coal-fired plants, or will they choose to stay warm?
somehistory says
A couple of years ago, “green energy” did a lot of damage in Texas when the power failed.
One site says that the State has more wind turbines than any other state and many countries.
In 2021, the turbines froze. The blades could not turn. No power was produced to heat the homes.
Ask some of the citizens of that state who survived, what views they have of “green energy.”
Those Texans who had gas did a heck of a lot better than those relying on wind turbines to keep them warm.
