Peter Hitchens tears Net Zero to shreds, to the dismay of BBC panellists and audience members.
"We didn't just close down our coal fired power stations, we blew them up, we were so certain we were right to do so. At the same time, China is building the equivalent of two new coal fired power stations a week. India has a vast expansion programme of coal fired power stations."
"The contribution which this country is making to these outcomes is not merely minimal, it's non-existent. Everything that we do is completely blotted out by what much larger countries are doing to maintain their own power."
"If you want to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house... if you want lots of people to lose their jobs because there's no energy, if you want to be cold all the time... then carry on believing that the demand to go for Net Zero is intelligent and thoughtful."
...
This is the UK saving the planet? Imbecilic virtue signalling false reality. Its all a gigantic grift. Theft of taxpayers’ money, and ultimately overburdening and Cloward Piven take over by Totalitarian regime.
...
When they said we wouldn't own anything, they didn't say they would take away our electric too.
It's okay... I will be happy...
...
NET ZERO.
Dark, cold, deindustrialised & dangerous.
Appalling, given it's meant to 'save us' from climate catastrophe & beam us into nirvana.
But climate catastrophism is a proven* secular religion and its apocalypse is a MYTH.
...
It’s confounding that so many people have abandoned basic logic/rational thinking. They are literally willing to destroy themselves and their country and spend their time hating the people who are trying to drag them to safety.
...
They'll support destroying our energy self sufficiency and applaud the idiot Miliband, then turn around and buy cheap disposable products made in China, in factories powered by dirtier coal than we had, shipped across the world in diesel ships. It's quite ridiculous.
...
Hitchens is spot on here. Net Zero is economic and social suicide, and falls under the Climate Scam. The zealots pushing it do not have a clue about real life or real people.
...
Net zero is sending first world countries back to the 1800’s
...
The truth is hard to swallow sometimes.
It's time to wake people up.
Net Zero is a disastrous train wreck, with humanity as its passenger.
...
Thirty years ago China, figured out they could never win a conventional war. They attacked us from within.
Instead of bombs and bullets, they used DEI, multiculturalism, and environmental justice.
Corrupt politicians are more than happy to take their money.
...
It doesnt make any sense because it has got nothing whatsoever to do with CO2 or the climate, but everything to do with creating energy & food scarcity to social engineer the population towards a marxist totalitarian police state, as set out in the globalist WEF 2030 agenda.
...
we all know the goal is not to save the planet. The goal is to take the wealth that the civilized west, or white people in general, have built up through hard work, ingenuity and innovation, and distribute it to countries that have not done any of those things in the past. If it were a movie, it would be called 'The Greatest Heist Of All Time.'
UN Agenda 21 , 2030 , Great Reset, ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Britain is so screwed and in so many ways.
But but but wind and solar power will free us from all that pollution and give us clean air and cheap power. Right? Right?

Jordan Peterson tells piers Morgan the truth about the UK
How can a once great country fallen so quickly?
I hope we can save it before it’s too late.
Hitchins said all that? Where, not on X.
The power of propaganda.
I may be wrong but I think many of these zealots would be willing to personally suffer for their mistaken beliefs. They believe they are helping future generations etc and have been successfully brainwashed over decades.
We need more people on our side who can speak well and persuade them of the truth but it will be an uphill to almost impossible struggle. People were indoctrinated as children in this stuff.
“ This is the UK saving the planet? Imbecilic virtue signalling false reality. It’s all a gigantic grift. Theft of taxpayers’ money, and ultimately overburdening and Cloward Piven take over by Totalitarian regime.”
This.
And do you know what the first thing that Totalitarian regime will do when they achieve total, iron-fisted power?
Yeah, they’ll build coal-fired power plants.
With slave labor.

“Thirty years ago China, figured out they could never win a conventional war. They attacked us from within.”
No, this little idea came from European ‘intellectuals.’
"The contribution which this country is making to these outcomes is not merely minimal, it's non-existent. Everything that we do is completely blotted out by what much larger countries are doing to maintain their own power."
"If you want to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house... if you want lots of people to lose their jobs because there's no energy, if you want to be cold all the time... then carry on believing that the demand to go for Net Zero is intelligent and thoughtful."
He sure nailed it.
I’m glad he had the courage to speak the truth.
More people need to call out this scam.
Too bad it wasn’t said years ago. England is controlled by deluded fools who believe in this fairly take and they are going to inflict misery on everyone
A VOICE OF REASON IN THE WILDERNESS
They’ll have to have some handy furnaces for all the ‘useless eaters’ to be disappeared into.
The Gaia Worshipers have already succeeded in destroying the economies of Germany and the UK. People in both countries just don’t realize how hosed they are yet. There is no quick solution. Even if they came to their senses today it would be years before they could get coal and nuclear power plants online. By then their industry will be completely gone.
A whole HELL OF A LOT of the Gaia Worshipers are people who are comfortably upper middle class or richer. The real key is they NEVER suffer the consequences of their own policies. Suffering you see, is for the little people...the serfs...those peasants in the countryside. Not for oh so smart and educated and sophisticated people like them.
Brother of Christopher Hitchens.
