The Left-Wing Plan to Impose a 90% Global Income Tax to ‘Save the Planet’

Celebrated Left-wing economist Thomas Piketty has unveiled a mad new plan to impose a global 90% income tax and 20% wealth tax to 'save the planet'. It proves global quasi-communism was always the real goal, says Ben Pile.

The CBI Report Claiming Net Zero is ‘Boosting the Economy’ is a Stack of Lies

The Confederation of British Industry has published yet another report claiming that Net Zero is 'boosting the economy'. But it's a stack of lies, says Ben Pile. After all, energy prices have doubled in a decade.

We Don’t Need Tony Blair to Explain Why Starmer’s Technocratic Authoritarianism isn’t Working

Sir Tony Blair has called Ed Miliband's Net Zero agenda a "quixotic fantasy" – but his own role in hollowing out British democracy rather undermines the lecture, says Ben Pile.

A Climate Debate. At Last

The Spectator hosted a rare Net Zero debate. Peter Lilley and Liam Halligan made the case for binning it. Bob Ward and Shahrar Ali made the case for censoring anyone who disagrees. Same as ever, reports Ben Pile.

The British Bullying Corporation

The BBC’s problem isn’t bullying, it's ideology – climate, trans and the rest – and the Establishment that opened the doors to it. Calling it "bullying" hides the much deeper rot, says Ben Pile.

The Descent of Attenborough

As David Attenborough turns 100, Ben Pile looks back on the "national treasure's" worst moments of climate alarmism, such as when he blamed Ethiopia's famine on the country having "too many people".

Blair Intervenes Ad Nauseam

Tony Blair has intervened yet again in the Net Zero debate with the sixth report from his think tank in a year. It purports to show how to make renewable energy work. But the laws of physics still say no, says Ben Pile.

Another Phony Battle in the Climate War

Yes, Ed Miliband has covered up evidence that Net Zero will increase energy bills. But until his political opponents themselves commit to abandoning Net Zero, they're no better than he is, says Ben Pile.

Another Blow to the Heat Pump Agenda

With analysis showing heat pumps cost £138 a year more to run than boilers and two thirds of users reporting higher bills, no wonder no one wants to buy one. But when will green elites admit the game is up, asks Ben Pile.

The Conflict Between Net Zero and the Energy Demands of AI and Crypto Isn’t Going Away

A "giant Yorkshire gas field" is to be exploited "to mine Bitcoin", say the papers. No surprise there, says Ben Pile: the conflict between Net Zero and the vast energy demands of AI and crypto isn't going away.
