What is the point of COP 30? The US does not believe in man made climate change as a threat and is pursuing growth through producing more cheap okl and gas to give it a big competitive advantage against the EU and UK with their dear energy. China has been expanding its CO 2 output in the ten years since the Paris Treaty Agreement for others to get it down, whilst building a dominant position in renewables, batteries and battery cars to sell to others as well as for home consumption. Other leading CO 2 emitters including Russia, Iran, India, Indonesia are still expanding their CO 2 output.
It is stupid for the UK and other parts of Europe to cut its CO 2 output by closing down industry, only to import the goods instead. This increases world CO 2 output with all the extra transport.
The Climate Change advocates want to cut air travel, air conditioning and meat eating as all these add to CO 2. A COP Conference in Brazil will increase all of these are many people fly out to air conditioned hotels with grand dinners. Doing all this on a government expense account is unwise. People hate hypocrisy and waste. This Conference looks like both on stilts.
The UK cannot spare more money for the usual whip round the richer countries to give to the poorer. The UK should not promise to hit tougher targets as it is already signed up to targets that are too high.
November 2, 2025
It is stupid for the UK and other parts of Europe to cut their CO 2 output as:-
1. CO2 is harmless, indeed net beneficial, gas (vital plant tree and crop food) and even a doubling of atmospheric CO2 would, at worst, cause only trivial warming (all other things being the same) and for the UK a little warming would be good too.
2. Merely exporting the jobs and CO2 will on average increase CO2 anyway.
3. Any anyway to reduce CO2 worldwide would require world cooperation which clearly highly unlikely to happen with China, Russia, USA, North Korea, Latin America…
So three reasons, all true and any single one alone blows the deluded Miliband’s agenda out of the water. (wrong comment on Conservatives deleted. Next time I will delete the whole post as that is quicker Ed)
A fourth reason is most of the things they push do not really save any or very much CO2 anyway. Things like renewables, EV cars, public transport, heat pumps, cycling, walking…
November 2, 2025
Or burning imported wood at Drax!
November 2, 2025
Plus most of the thinks pushed EVs. public transport, walking, renewables, heat pumps, burning wood at Drax… do not even save any (or any significant CO2) anyway. EVs increase it on average as does burning wood instead of coal at Drax.
November 2, 2025
@Lifelogic – breathing plays a big part as well. Massive population growth from stupidity enhances CO2 output as well.

Then you have to ask we here in the UK have we so many people engaged in ‘ponsing’ around on these nothings when the Nation is going broke, society is being destroyed from the top. Just a little effort in controlling expenditure in the UK its self would be nice, COP and the WEF do the opposite, they are destroyers not builders conceived by those that have never done a days productive work in their life.

Two Tier Kier and his police urge us “not to speculate at this stage”.
Speculate:- the forming of a theory or conjecture without the full facts.
The public will speculate as much as they wish too Sir Kier. The police should get the facts out asap not order people not to speculate. Good speculators are very often spot on – though not always. The absence or hiding of information by the authorities as we see with many violent attack, stabbbbiings and with the data on the net harm Covid Vaccines (and the multi million sick joke inquiry) is often a very useful indication of the truth.

Well fairly safe in crash injury terms but perhaps less so for mugging and knifings. 29,643 killed or seriously injured in road accidents PA UK.

Nobody is worrying about crashes. If you are a good driver, and I am, you have reduced chances of being involved in motor accidents too.
November 2, 2025
I have had three (write off) crashes over my 40 odd years of driving, two rear shunts and one from a car speeding out of a side road into my nearside I was fortunately in largish cars each time. Non were my fault but in non could I have done anything to avoid them. I was fine in all three other than a bit of whiplash but had I been on a bike or motor bike could very easily have been killed.
Not much you can do if a truck careers into your rear when stationary in a queue however careful you are!
November 2, 2025
Well I got my first car 58 years ago. Funnily enough I was in traffic on the M4 and saw a truck coming too fast. I pulled onto the hard standing (I always have space in front of me.) The truck hit the car that had been in front of me. The driver was angry … with me!

“It’s too dangerous to use” Not exactly, but it certainly is a factor, especially at night or when travelling alone.
More train personal on board would help, but that would make it even more expensive than it already is.
Crowded trains with people coughing and sneezing all over the place does not exactly encourage you either, given windows are not now openable and the Filters (if they exist) in the air-conditioning just help to re-circulate the germs.
Buses are uncomfortable, but at least have small opening windows.
The problem with public transport is the Journey you have to make to get to them, and their car parks are expensive which also adds to the overall cost.

The UK has cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% between 1990 and 2022 – while growing the economy by 79%
Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-first-major-economy-to-halve-emissions
This compares to a pathetic 23% reduction in France and no change at all in the USA between 1990 and 2021. With renewables now accounting for more than 50% of the UK’s (and the world’s) electricity – up from just 7% in 2010 – the UK is the global leader on cleaner energy.
The fact is that the UK is making significant progress towards net zero. The long-term trend shows that UK is rapidly driving down emissions. The government must put a stop to the great gas rip-off, use the regulator to reduce the huge profits made by the privatised energy industry and complete the transition to make renewables the backbone of our energy system to lower our bills for good
UK CO2 emissions fell 3.6% in 2024 alone as coal use dropped to it’s lowest since 1666, when the figures were skewed by the Great Fire of London
Reply This model will result in black outs, ultra expensive energy, mass factory closures and dependence on imports for most manufactures.
November 2, 2025
SG
This has been achieved by offshoring the majority of uk industry. We have merely transferred the emissions to China etc.
Our electricity grid is teetering on the brink of collapse due to the unsane policies of Milibrain and Co.
You fail to mention the fact that US per capita has doubled in the time frame you quote and now Europe is only half as rich from almost parity 20 years ago.
November 2, 2025
Yes Ian – it’s Net Zero accounting fraud. We just generated our “consumed” carbon elsewhere – the manufacture of EVs ss a prime example. Starmer is now proposing to align us with EU carbon import tarifs to ‘account’ for this. So we will pay extra for our imported goods and still claim to be on the side of the righteous. Typical double-think.
November 2, 2025
@SG. How far has world greenhouse gas production fallen in that same time period? A net zero UK achieves net nothing.
November 2, 2025
The UK contributes 0.04% of global Co2 (400 PPM) Next to nothing, as i repeatedly try to tell the net zero nutters.
Reply The UK contributes 0.8% of total annual world CO 2, China 33%
November 2, 2025
I have no idea where you have seen that figure for the UK
8000 PPM ??? I don’t think so.
November 2, 2025
I stand corrected Sir JR. 0.04% is the proportion of Co2 in the Earths atmosphere (400 PPM)
The UK does indeed contribute 0.8% of that. (3.2PPM) way less than I had been led to believe.
Thanks for highlighting this.
November 3, 2025
Old Albion: better but you are still not getting it fully.
Most of that 400ppm was already there. It is natural. It is only the increase from 280 to 400ppm (actually about 427ppm by now) that can be blamed on man-made emissions. So we are not responsible for even 3.2ppm.

So we have to endure blackouts and cold, either voluntarily by not being able to afford switching the Aga on or as we are currently experiencing, blackouts every night, on the say so of the Globalists who AT THE SAME TIME wage war in Ukraine exploding all sorts of weapons which emit enormous amounts of CO2.
In addition we will be lectured by the Government that to even consider the death penalty for those who attack civilians is out of the question while they partake in the bombing and effective murder of the Ukrainian press-ganged civilian forces (by continuing to fund this disastrous, unwinable war).
All the skill of the political class is geared on presenting disasters as wins. You will see that signing up to more COP madness will be described as a monumental step towards peace and prosperity (see Mr Gold above) and begging for a cease fire is presented as ‘wanting to stop the killing’ rather than needing time for Germany to become the armed powerhouse it was 100 years ago, so it can subdue Russia and the rest of us.
November 2, 2025
SG: “This compares to a pathetic 23% reduction in France….
France’s CO2 emissions are lower than the UK. They’re emission reduction is lower than the UK because whilst we were generating most of our electricity using coal and gas, they had already moved to 70% nuclear. Not that CO2 is a problem anyway. It is the gas of life and more CO2 in the atmosphere greens the planet and more food is grown. There is no historical, empirical or even theoretical evidence that CO2 controls the planet’s temperature. The IPCC’s radiative greenhouse gas warming theory is false. Water vapour is a far more prevalent greenhouse gas (between 10 and 100 times more than CO2) and a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2 absorbing far more of the planet’s emitted IR radiation. But the climate cult (yet) doesn’t think we should curb atmospheric water vapour!
November 2, 2025
Their not they’re.
November 3, 2025
France achieved the bulk of its emissions reductions before 1990 through their nuclear programme. It has lower per capita emissions than the UK even today.
November 2, 2025
I believe many people feel that the CO2 nonsense is on a par with borrowing money to give it away in foreign aid. Not to help with disaster recovery, but simply giving it away for absurd purposes, i.e. the goal being not where money should be spent but where money could be spent.

The point of COP 30 is the same as all the previous COPs: to deliver UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.
The UN requires the de-industrialisation of western democracies; reduced living standards for “the peasants” and the transfer of wealth from “the undeserving west” to the deserving in Asia and Africa. UN representatives have spelled it out for us very nicely:
“Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC’s fourth summary report released in 2007 candidly expressed the priority. Speaking in 2010, he advised, “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.”
And “as U.N. climate chief Christina Figueres pointedly remarked, the true aim of the U.N.’s 2014 Paris climate conference was “to change the [capitalist] economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”
They are enforcing global Socialism, dressed up as Climate Policy.

Instead of wasting obscene amounts of taxpayer money on the utterly pointless virtue signalling nonsense that is COP, it would make a refreshing change to see our government actually act in the interests of the country they allegedly control. How about actively supporting UK energy resources instead of putting them out of business? How about supporting UK industry instead of taxing and pricing it out of existence? How about looking after their own citizens instead of actively encouraging replacement by( people from abroad ed)?

The most telling fact about how pointless the COP jamborees are is this.
If you graph the growth in CO2 from the point of the first meeting to the current 432 PPM you will see a continuous line of uninterrupted growth not a flicker of any change in the direction of CO2 rising level in the atmosphere.
For those concerned about CO2 growth that would inform them the actions of the COP meetings are worthless. Even the much talked about Paris Climate Accord in 2015 has made zero difference in CO2 growth.
For those scientifically minded maybe a look at Henry’s law which defines the balance between gas in solution in the atmosphere and in the oceans. The ocean holds over sixty times more CO2 than the atmosphere in balance with Henry’s laws on partial pressure. The additions we make via via fossil fuel use are only 3% of the annual CO2 released into the atmosphere the bulk comes from natural processes in the oceans and on land.
One final point CO2 is good for the environment and good for all living things on Earth there is not a single negative feature associated with CO2. Record harvests and massive additional green growth is something we should be celebrating.
Ban all COP meetings of at least make them not government funded. Those who wish to go can do so on their own dime and own time.
November 2, 2025
Maybe there’s a man-made climate change crisis, or maybe there isn’t.
Let’s give it the benefit of doubt and halt all imports from China, to reduce the CO2 impact of transportation. Let’s also end the import of people from warm countries to our country where winter warmth depends on the burning of fossil fuels. That could be our contribution to the cause.
Perhaps our politicians in COP30 can advocate that.

A theory that only exists as a model and is designed to frighten the population and then make them feel guilty for even living.

Bill Gates, has written to the COP30 delegates that the doomsday view of climate change, namely that in a few decades cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilisation, is wrong and we should concentrate instead on different efforts that will have more impact on the human condition. This fits with the UN listing ‘climate action’ as only #13 in its list of sustainable goals, despite what the UN Sec Gen utters, and the fact that Table 12 in Chapter 12 of the UN IPCC’s latest AR6 Working Group 1 (“The Science”) report shows no signals for climate change (precipitation, droughts, storms) other than some mild warming. The mild warming being 0.14 degrees C per decade according to the UAH satellite data. Bill Gates hasn’t yet admitted that rising levels of CO2 is not the prime reason for the planet warming, but at least it’s a step forward. Climate history over the last 500m years, since the start of the Cambrian explosion, shows there to be no correlation between CO2 and temperature except for the last 500,000 years when both CO2 and temperature have been exceptionally low and here the Vostok Antarctic ice core data clearly shows CO2 following temperature. Happer & Wijngaarden have shown, using the IPCC’s own radiative greenhouse gas warming theory that adding further CO2 to the atmosphere adds little, if any, additional warming because a phenomenon known as saturation. A view endorsed by |The Royal Society. And Shula & Ott have used the data from 3 experiments to provide a compelling case that the IPCC’s radiative theory is invalid because of thermalisation. See the Tom Nelson YouTube podcasts for both.

Julius Caesar launched two invasions of Britain in 55 and 54 BC, to stop British support for the Gauls and to enhance his reputation, but the invasions did not result in a full conquest
Caesar found the British weather to be dank and disruptive, noting that after an initial period of fair weather for his first invasion in 55 BC, fierce storms, high tides and continuous rain made it “impossible to maintain the troops in tents” and wreaked havoc on his ships
He did, however introduce the Roman snail to the British, which the Romans regarded as a delicacy. Unfortunately, they escaped into the British countryside and now the infernal molluscs are wreaking havoc among Mrs Gold’s orchid collection.
Last night the lady was distraught and I spent much of the evening in the greenhouse with a torch, collecting the snails (which are now a protected species) before releasing them in an open space half a mile away, where the local hedgehogs could enjoy them
