Climate News Round-Up
The latest science-driven news and analysis to counter the cult of climate catastrophe
“UK Pulls Plug on £24 Billion Desert Power Fantasy” – It comes as little surprise that yet another grandiose techno-utopian vision has ended not with a triumphant march toward Net Zero, but with a flick of the off-switch, writes Charles Rotter in WUWT.

“The climate scaremongers: Summertime and the lying is easy” – The UK Environment Agency has said England is running out of water and blamed climate change, but the truth is summers are no drier than they have been since 1840, nor are they any wetter, says Paul Homewood on TCW.
“Cleaner Air, Sunshine and Temperatures” – England has been getting more sunshine in recent decades, much of it, it seems, due to the air being cleaner of pollution. How much of the recent warming in the country might this explain, wonders Paul Homewood.
