The party in government are strongly suspected of wishing to carry out certain action and assessed and presented evidence to achieve that end. Which is not the same as looking at the evidence and deciding a course of action. It is the same type of action that resulted in the Zulu war, the government wanted to invade Zululand and sought out evidence that could give good cause to that undertaking. Blair presented himself as a 'straight and honest sort of guy' and the Iraq evidence showed that he was more slippery and dishonest than many of his predecessors. As usual you meander away in your imagination in your attempt to re-write reality. 12 years of Saddam refusing to comply with the Ceasefire Agreement he signed up to, and the decision by the UN Security Council to pass UN Res. 1441, decided that the invasion was both legal and necessary. Try using your imagination to consider what Saddam would have got up to if the military lined up to invade had gone home instead instead of invading. Keeping the atrocity of Halabja in mind. I did not say it was illegal nor did I say it was not necessary, they were not my decisions, that was for Parliament to make and the perception is that the evidence presented to Parliament was to encourage a decision to invade which was clearly what Blair wanted. That is not the way it is supposed to work. |

thomas said nothing. He posts the most juvenile posts on the forum. But he has other Rightists to back his nonsense up. prove the carbon capture has been well researched by labour and is worth the massive cost ? We have years of information about it from countries all over the world.... Fossil Fuel Companies Made Bold Promises to Capture Carbon. Here’s What Actually Happened.
A DeSmog review of 12 large-scale projects reveals a litany of cost-overruns and missed targets, with a net increase in emissions. www.desmog.com/2023/09/25/fossil-fuel-companies-made-bold-promises-to-capture-carbon-heres-what-actually-happened/ An expensive disaster that doesn't do what it says on the tin. |

Mindless blathering ^^, even some oil rich countries are going for green energy. Just imagine how bad things would be if the Billions of E Powered vehicles were back on petrol or diesel fuel and green energy progress was not being made in the likes of China and other countries. Thanks to the efforts in the UK we can, in most cases, breath cleaner air than would be the case without out our net zero targets.
The Government is making a huge bet on a technology that has never previously delivered, argues climate campaigner Alethea Warrington
But despite decades of hype, CCS hasn’t been successfully delivered at anything beyond the smallest scale and has a long history of failed projects. It’s also an expensive technology, and even if it works as claimed, it would pile additional costs onto projects.
After years of soaring energy bills caused by fluctuations in gas prices, the last thing the public needs is to be stuck on gas power, with incredibly expensive and unproven CCS added on to further increase costs.
The numbers on job creation also don’t stack up. The Chancellor has suggested that 4,000 jobs will be created by the investment but, at £22 billion, this would amount to approximately £5.5 million per job. This just doesn’t represent value for the taxpayer or for the climate. bylinetimes.com/2024/10/10/labour-carbon-capture-plans/ Ive read a number of articles now on the subject of labours carbon capture pipe dream , from various sources , and by every account its looking like another epic disaster of massive proportions . The only real Carbon Capture comes from Trees and the UK cut down millions of trees each year....Go Figure |

Solar farm meant to power 100,000 homes will supply Tesco supermarkets instead...... Tesco and Shell are to buy the entire output of a controversial solar farm under construction on the Kent coast that was originally meant to power 100,000 homes. The two companies have signed deals to purchase all the electricity generated by Cleve Hill, which is poised to be the UK’s largest solar farm when it goes into operation early in 2025.

Typical multi-billionaire companies buying up solar farms so they can run their supermarket on cheap energy, they will get some form of tax relief on it, and the savings they make on their solar powered energy bills will not be passed on to customers ... so in fact tax payers are subsidising Tesco cheap energy. |

Robbing Peter to pay Paul.. ”The remaining 35pc of output will be managed by Shell as it buys up sources of renewable electricity to power its growing network of EV charging stations. Vicky Ellis, of the Kent branch of CPRE, the countryside charity, said: “This project was approved on the premise that it would power homes, not petrol stations and supermarkets.” |

Too windy for a WIND TURBINE! Villagers in Wales wake to horrific crash as £20million 300ft eco-energy generator is blown over in 50mph storm The 300ft turbine crashed into the ground on a Welsh mountainside after strong winds overnight on Monday The £20million wind turbine, which is double the height of Nelson's Column, has snapped apart near the base It was one of 29 at Pant Y Wal farm which opened in 2013 and makes enough power for thousands of homes Incident sparked calls for the remaining turbines to be inspected to make sure they are not at risk of falling www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10514957/Villagers-wake-horrific-crash-300FT-wind-turbinMan says solar panels have made £280k family home 'unsellable' for two years despite asking price plummeting by £65k A devoted son who tried to sell his dying mother's home to pay for her dementia care saw four buyers walk away, with his estate agents saying it was because of concerns over solar panels. Sitting with his wife of 24 years, Ralph Wilson, 59, from Nantwich, Cheshire, told MailOnline that his mother Valerie's home feels like a 'noose around our necks'.www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13907521/solar-panels-Shade-Greener-ASG-unsellable-des Try as I might I don't remember any power stations blowing over, or being switched off because it wasn't windy enough, or indeed too windy. Yet deluded lefties (See see2) insist wind turbines are the future. Mind boggling. |

Turbines are the expression of ‘ we must do something about it..anything ‘ the net zero ideology.
Ignore the fact that we emit only 2% of world emissions .
We are ‘ investing ‘ into a money pit that will break us .
Net zero nuts would be happy with us returning to an agrarian society , in fact it suits their marxist mindset.
Meanwhile China builds coal power stations and sells us net zero technology.
We must be fucking mad.

But in the 21st century woke west, virtue signalling and self flagellation is king. For some inexplicable reason lefties in the west have been gripped by the cult of woke, they think it's some sort of virtuous progress. However when they wake up, or grow up and one has to believe they will at some point wake up or grow up, they may realise that woke is not progress, but the result of moral decline. |

Germany: Why dying forests could be good newsIn the central Harz region in Germany, over 90 percent of spruce trees are dead or dying because of climate change and insect damage. But they’re being replaced by a more resilient forest, with a more abundant ecosystem....

Fucking liars, they are killing the trees off so they can use these eco cons, when they've destroyed all the trees the planet will be fucked anyway. |

They have to add their bullshit that they are dying due to climate change which is total lie. Many trees die from either disease or neglect. Look how many Elms, Oaks and Beech trees have been killed of by either diseases or parasites etc.. |

Look how many Elms, Oaks and Beech trees have been killed of by either diseases or parasites etc.. Exactly, and these house builders are killing off trees to get past tree preservation orders, I've got a mate who oversees building applications, he told me that it was very strange that where there were tree preservation orders and builders were after the lands that mysteriously the trees started to die off, trees that have stood the test of time for hundreds of years all of a sudden die off when house builders want the land. |

That is not the way it is supposed to work. "perception" in this case is based upon misleading propaganda by those against the invasion. And mostly by those who would do or say anything to undermine Blair. The evidence presented to Parliament was based upon the evidence put to Blair by the Security Service, that is what he said in his speech to Parliament adding "I believed them". Blair's position was to make that 'evidence' public. As the Intelligence Service has since, openly admitted in a press release (2004), that they "got it wrong on WMD in Iraq", its time that people like yourself got off Blair's back. |

Slight digression... we used to visit an adventure training centre at a place called Silberhutte, in the Harz mountains. Climbing in the summer, skiing in the winter, that sort of thing. Seeing Harz reminded me of it, happy days. Anyhoo, back to thread.  |
