Global Warming:Peak Energy Problems Take Precedence

As regular readers will know, I have long been a sceptic in regard to the veracity of some of the claims put out by the Global Warming fraternity. Whilst we cannot dispute the fact that the earth is warming up, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gives the impression that the debate is now over on whether or not this warming is due solely to man-made causes and the increased CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it has also pretended that all but a few scientists who were in the pockets of the oil companies supported the IPCC view. This impression is false on both accounts.

Those who have said we must also take into account the sun’s cycles of solar activity and resultant variations in cosmic rays, which have consistently led to cold and warm periods in the earth’s history, have received a boost with last month’s Channel 4 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle. This was an authoritative account of how the hysteria over global warming (very useful to exploit for increased taxation and for getting political simpletons to accept that the one-world global community is our only source of salvation) has parted company with reality.

The dissenting voices included Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg; Richard Lindzen, the professor of Atmospheric Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Dr Myles Allen from Oxford University; Roy Spencer, the former top climate expert at Nassa; Nigel Calder, a former editor of the New Scientist; and Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, among others. A number of these contributors have received death threats since the programme was shown. Others have just been told that as deniers they are in the same category as those who deny the holocaust, a parallel which is an obscenity.

Meanwhile the EU’s contribution to the debate is that we must reduce emissions by 20 per cent. To aid this the Energy Policy Director has put forth a ban on filament light bulbs!

With Dave Boy’s passionate embrace of global warming orthodoxy and competing in press conferences last month with Gordon Brown, where both announced their desires to put up our taxes - including on our holiday trips to the sun - to deal with the matter, it is tempting for the BNP to openly make a stand with the deniers of man-made causes of global warming. Not least because Britain only contributes 2 % of total global CO2 emissions and China, India and America show no signs of wanting to follow our tax example.

However, as befitting the Party that was the first to warn of the escalating energy problems we now face since the world reached “Peak Oil” production, it would be more responsible for the BNP to support those measures that will help to increase the use of renewable energy sources - not least nuclear energy. If that means appearing to accept some of the arguments of the global warmers, so be it.

I agree with BNP Chairman Nick Griffin’s view on this when he says: “On one side of the debate are people with links to polluting industries which have a clear vested interest in downplaying climate change. On the other we have new Marxist One Worlders and kneejerk anti-technocrats who have a vested interest in persuading people that the world will end unless we all go back to the level of 17th century China. Both will distort and sensationalise their facts and arguments. It is not for us to take either side.

“The BNP will continue to push our post-Peak energy agenda, which global warmers will see as addressing their worries. Nevertheless, fresh evidence on the issue from both sides is welcome.”

Will South Africa Follow Zimbabwe?

Once known as the bread basket of Africa, Zimbabwe today under the cruel dictatorship of the deranged Marxist Mugabe is now Africa’s chief “basket case”.

Its decay into Africa’s most impoverished nation, with inflation running at 1700% and life expectancy dropping to around 30, stems from Mugabe’s confiscation of the white farmers’ lands. Each farmer employed at least 200 black Africans and most even had schools for the workers’ children. Since those farms were handed over to lackeys of Mugabe’s Zanu-PR party, all that most of them grow are weeds. And so the people starve and those supporting the Movement for Democratic Change are literally beaten to within an inch of their lives.

Back in 1965, when Zimbabwe was called Rhodesia, former Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot Ian Smith declared Universal Independence (UDI) for Rhodesia to run the country, free from the interference of Harold Wilson’s Labour Government. On the day of Smith’s declaration, November 11th, I went to Trafalgar Square with a number of fellow British Nationalists where we held an impromptu meeting in support of Ian Smith actions as being the only way of preserving civilisation in Rhodesia for the advantages of all its people, black and white. The support from passing Londoners (nearly all white in those days) and Rhodesians and South Africans made my arrest and a fine of £15 for speaking from the plinth without a licence all worthwhile.

Labour doesn’t really change, whether it is the ‘old’ or the ‘new’ version. Tony Blair and his caravanning specialist and part-time Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett, can justify sending our troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, where no British interests or responsibilities were involved, but ignore the fate of the people of Zimbabwe whose murderous dictator we installed. A battalion of Royal Marines and/or Paras would have removed Mugabe and restored democracy long ago.

There is a grim message in this for those remaining whites in neighbouring South Africa. President Mbeki has, so far, refused to utter a word of criticism of Mugabe’s actions, and in fact seems to relish them. Since the end of Apartheid, the wonderland of Mandela’s “rainbow nation” has not really materialised. Instead, the Government of the Africa National Congress Party becomes ever more based on race. Whites - whether Afrikaners or British origin, coloureds and Indians feel that their groups are being reduced to second class citizenship. The civil service, the police, the prosecution services have all lost their most experienced whites, often to be replaced by semi-educated blacks.

Crime is now more endemic than in Zimbabwe, with 50 murders a day. And what is rarely reported in the UK press are the increasing number of murders of white farmers, now in excess of 2,000 since 1991. South Africa’s farmers are also facing the use of expropriation, or compulsory purchase, to settle clams for their lands; a policy reminiscent of Zimbabwe’s forced seizure of white farms.

Where will it all end? Land owners in the Vale of York had better hope that the Muslims of the West Riding towns do not start showing an interest in farming.
