Supporters of the Climate and Nature (“CAN”) Bill are claiming that “the people have spoken and now everyone needs to act.” They are claiming a public mandate when none exists.
The CAN Bill’s climate targets are so unrealistic, unachievable and unscientific that it equates to King Canute-like absurdity. Yet it is on track to become UK law, and next to no one knows about it.
The following is an article published on page 5 of the December 2024 issue of The Light paper.
Net Zero insanity into law: Alert your MP to dangers of Climate and Nature Bill
By David Smith
A parliamentary bill is set to write Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil-type extreme Net Zero demands into UK law.
Supporters of the Climate and Nature (“CAN”) Bill are claiming that “the people have spoken and now everyone needs to act.” They are claiming a public mandate when none exists.
The CAN Bill’s climate targets are so unrealistic, unachievable and unscientific that it equates to King Canute-like absurdity. Yet it is on track to become UK law, and next to no one knows about it.
The Bill will require by law that the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero – CAN Bill supporter Ed Miliband – must rapidly achieve Net Zero, stop natural fuel use, close businesses or activities with high CO2 emissions, and retrain those put out of work.
Freedoms will be swept away on the altar of achieving Net Zero.
The CAN Bill makes the assumption that man-made climate change is agreed scientific consensus when this is absolutely not the case.
Dr. Roz Savage MBE, MP and promoter of the CAN Bill, said: “My Climate And Nature Bill will lock the science into law.”
So MPs don’t need to assess the science and hear all views, but have just one side of the debate around climate change presented to them.
This is contrary to the Nolan Principles of Public Life that bind MPs to avoid such bias and predetermination in public affairs.
There is also bias and predetermination by omission in the “science” around nature recovery.
For example, a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, part of the US Department of Commerce, reports that human-caused CO2 has resulted in significant re-greening, and is starting to rectify the current depleted CO2 levels which are far below optimum for nature and plant growth.
The Climate and Nature Private Members’ Bill (and anything like it) must be challenged by us all and with utmost vigour.
Share this article and inform others. Crucially, email your MP to request they attend The CAN Bill second reading currently scheduled for 24 January, to challenge and to object to it on your behalf.
