Today we publish exclusive extracts from Chris Morrison’s explosive new book that will send shock waves through both the ‘settled’ climate science community and the hard-Left promoters of the wicked Net Zero lunacy.

IMPLAUSIBLE: How scientists, activist politicians and journalists invented a climate crisis, weaponised junk computer model findings and claimed a fake consensus to promote the collectivist Net Zero fantasy

Foreword by Toby Young, Editor-in-Chief, Daily Sceptic

If there’s a theme running through Chris’s work it is that the climate agenda is a thinly disguised power grab by the lanyard classes, determined to assert control over the unruly masses who are proving stubbornly reluctant to give up their sentimental attachment to freedom. You want to choose what car to buy and what speed to drive it? No way, you knuckle-dragging petrol-head. You’ll buy an over-priced, doesn’t-retain-its-value EV and go no faster than 20mph. Enjoy steak and chips? Sorry, mush, it’s a plant-based diet for you from now on. Unwilling to give up your gas boiler? Tough. You’ll be forced to install a ‘heat’ pump that costs £25,000 and doesn’t actually heat your house. …

Chris’s work is needed more than ever – and this book is a fantastic introduction to it. Reading it will make you angry – and you should be angry, very angry. But you’ll also be very entertained.

Introduction

April 7th 2026 was the day the great climate crisis invention backing the political Net Zero fantasy finally hit the hard rocks of reality. That was the day a group of scientists working on a new assessment report for the United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) admitted that a set of computer model assumptions commonly known as RCP8.5 were “implausible”. The official admission sent shock waves through the elite worlds of climate scientists and collectivist politicians as well as heaping lasting shame on all the helpful messengers in mainstream media. The RCP8.5 assumptions have been a key computer input ‘pathway’ promoting the evidence-lite climate crisis since 2011. Almost every climate Armageddon story whether it be less tasty beer in future (yes, the BBC wrote that one), disappearing polar ice (take a bow, Sir David Attenborough, King Charles and the late Pope Francis) or increasing air turbulence has the fingerprints of RCP8.5 all over it.

The April 7th bombshell meant they were all officially junk.
