EXCESS DEATHS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE IN THE UK AND GERMANY (SUBSTACK.COM)

I nailed this way back in 2002, then in 2013, and then in Nov2022:

"This winter will be hell, especially in Britain and Germany." - MacRae, Nov2022.

Britain and Germany over-invested in near-useless Wind Power and made the heating of homes unaffordable. That energy shortage, along with the Covid-19 vaxx-caused deaths, contributed to this winter's carnage in those two countries. They were fortunate in that this winter was mild - it could have been much worse.

Politicians are energy imbeciles - keep them away from the hot stove.

I posted the following prediction in Nov2022:

This will not be easy to watch. I told you so 20 years ago.

This winter will be hell, especially in Britain and Germany.

PREDICTION OF THE CARNAGE THIS WINTER IN EUROPE

The cull of the elderly and poor

We published the important conclusions to this debate in 2002 and nothing has changed:

The alleged Climate Crisis is a fifty-year-old scam, and “green energy” is not green and does not produce much useful energy.

The Climate scammers have wasted trillions of dollars and millions of lives on fraud.

EXCESS DEATHS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE IN THE UK AND GERMANY (SUBSTACK.COM)

AND THIS FROM 2017:

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/09/23/the-evils-of-climate-enthusiasm/#comment-2164819

[excerpts]

“It is the obligation of responsible, competent professionals to blow-the-whistle on this (global warming) scam, and to encourage the availability of cheap, reliable, abundant energy systems for humanity. This is especially true for the elderly and the poor, and for the struggling peoples of the developing world.”

The elderly and the poor in the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries are suffering increased winter deaths due to high energy costs. In the UK, this human disaster is called “Heat or Eat”.

The Excess Winter Mortality Rate in Britain is much higher than that in Canada. Canada has a population of about 35 million and the UK about 65 million, but Excess Winter Mortality in Canada is about 5000 to 10,000 per year, and in the UK it is 25,000 to 50,000 per year.

Canada and the UK have genetically similar populations and similar health care systems. Canada tends to be colder but mostly drier than the UK. However, Canada generally has much lower energy costs and better-insulated housing and probably better central heating systems, on average. This suggests that adaptation to winter and low energy costs are significant drivers of lower Winter Mortality rates.

Imagine IF the UK had competent politicians in the past several decades instead of warmist imbeciles. Instead of spending billions on green energy debacles, they could have spent the funds on improving home insulation and central heating, and encouraged fracking of shales to reduce natural gas prices., and a whole lot of grannies and grandpa’s would still be alive for their grandchildren.

Cheap, abundant, reliable energy is the lifeblood of society – it IS that simple.

When politicians fool with energy systems, real people suffer and die.

Meanwhile, did you see the holdings now of Charles, and now

William? It is obscene. The 'wonderful' Queen getting her battery of lawyers to hide her wealth.

In Canada, they 'offer' MAID, legal suicide to veterans, homeless-to-be.

AI might not be worse, might find them wanting.

FOR THE RECORD, WE PUBLISHED IN 2002:

1. “Climate science does not support the theory of catastrophic human-made global warming – the alleged warming crisis does not exist.”

2. “The ultimate agenda of pro-Kyoto advocates is to eliminate fossil fuels, but this would result in a catastrophic shortfall in global energy supply – the wasteful, inefficient energy solutions proposed by Kyoto advocates simply cannot replace fossil fuels.”

– by Sallie Baliunas (Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian), Tim Patterson (Paleoclimatologist, Carleton U), Allan MacRae (Professional Engineer, retired (Queen’s U, U of Alberta)

I PUBLISHED ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2002 in the Calgary Herald:

3. “If [as we believe] solar activity is the main driver of surface temperature rather than CO2, we should begin the next cooling period by 2020 to 2030.”

I UPDATED MY GLOBAL COOLING PREDICTION IN 2013:

3a. “I suggest global cooling starts by 2020 or sooner. Bundle up.”

[Some say global cooling started in Feb2016, but I prefer Feb2020.]

AN OPEN LETTER TO BARONESS VERMA

British Undersecretary for Energy and Climate Change, 31Oct2013

By Allan MacRae, B.A.Sc.(Eng.), M.Eng.

[excerpt]

So here is my real concern:

IF the Sun does indeed drive temperature, as I suspect, Baroness Verma, then you and your colleagues on both sides of the House may have brewed the perfect storm.

You are claiming that global cooling will NOT happen, AND you have crippled your energy systems with excessive reliance on ineffective grid-connected “green energy” schemes.

I suggest that global cooling probably WILL happen within the next decade or sooner, and Britain will get colder.

I also suggest that the IPCC and the Met Office have NO track record of successful prediction (or “projection”) of global temperature and thus have no scientific credibility.

I suggest that Winter deaths will increase in the UK as cooling progresses.

I suggest that Excess Winter Mortality, the British rate of which is about double the rate in the Scandinavian countries, should provide an estimate of this unfolding tragedy.

See CorrectPredictions.ca and my papers listed therein for proof.

Thanks PH. Marvelous to see at last, some realisation that the green bs is just a manufactured nonsense.

““What I’m seeing is a colossal market failure.” Mr. Blackwell maybe more educated and knowledgeable than me in many areas, but anyone who didn’t foresee how the movie ends with wind power should be embarrassed. The obvious downside of these bird killing, space sucking, unreliable, old fashioned power generators should feel extremely embarrassed right now.

You would think it would have occurred to them to invent "CO2 air scrubbers" instead of the hundreds of billions wasted on windmills!

I wept when I read this, first the failure of the electric car in various situations, and likely the unfeasability of it,

so that's why 'own nothing', ...only 'THEY' could have those cars, now the entire method of producing

energy and the failure of companies.

And that 'punchline', the last paragraph, what a colossal insane failure. Not to somewhat back away,

say they'll use gas and oil WHILE they iron out various problems is tragic. How can we NOT say

it spells 'doom'? Unless something VERY unusual happens.

On perhaps a slightly related (but maybe not?) note, my husband met a man today who wishes to meet

for coffee to talk, and he told my husband he had his blood tested, and it was BLUE.

Maybe I put it here because it seems all about failure, all about rushing ahead without the proper

studies done, and room then for opportunists to drive this, which they did. And still hold onto doing!!

Sorry, this is ...again, off topic, but just wondering if you saw King Charles III (and Prince William's)

holdings in UK?

So, things aren't working, and the amount of wealth of Charles III around the world, and in UK is

staggering...for WHAT?

Then all that money invested in wind and solar.

In our own life, on this tiny scale, I still find so much 'hidden', or 'misunderstood', so we rarely can

'just proceed' in our little life, either. Multiply that by billions to see how careful the world had

to be to 'make things work'.

Can they even get themselves out from under this, or does that remain to be seen?

Congratulations to all those FEW seeing prophetic wisdom manifested.

Can the Earth be salvaged?

Of course!

But can human nature?

The answer to this latter guery is sorely plain to see: not only is human nature a condemned SELF-assembling structure, it is a malevolent all-consuming cancer, bent on usurping the vast inventory of all within its scope.

Thus, the Earth will not be salvaged - as prophesied.

Human NATURE is about deception, deceit, wickedness, greed, control; contaminating the entirety of its environs with infectious forces so virulent that nothing can be salvaged.

Has to be extinguished, obliterated, incinerated; and will be.

Human nature, not the devil, is the culprit in the green energy hijack.

You are Godly in that you weep at this failure of such a promising potential falling victim to earthly lusts.

Blessed are those that mourn. Those of con - science.

Co-perseption is the only protection.

Firstly, thank you for kind comments in sometimes a 'sea of dismissal', a real 'eulogy'

given BEFORE death, amazing!! Why are eulogies only given once someone DIES?

Peter has given us yet one more evidence of massive FAILURE of the system to do

anything good for us, and worse, to destroy our energy, companies resources.

Sad how there's no real connect between having kids in an impossible environment,

an impossible time, that 'just say NO' isn't done about bringing new humans here

at this time on this earth when everything is falling apart. So very unfair to those

new humans, isn't it?

If you look up homelessness on youtube, see what's really going on, you'd quickly

say 'no kids for them'. They can't cope as it is.

If you saw the very long, long line of cars waiting in line for ONE box of food for

their FAMILY, that stretched for MILES, you'd LOGICALLY say 'no kids' if you don't

have enough to take care of them.

And the answer is not 'have them, have them adopted', because lots of bad

stuff happens then to those wee babies. Not always, sometimes. Who wants

to gamble on that?

Even animals won't mate if conditions are wrong. The NA Indians loved their

children, but had natural abortificants for their harsh winters that could have

put the whole tribe at risk.

Of COURSE, if someone HAS kids, they care for them, absolutely. That's

their obligcation.

This is about if someone didn't YET have a family.

This is about 'accidental pregnancies' that must be weighed whether those

can be handled, or whether there's two fairly mature people to raise the newcomer

and keep doing it for 17 YEARS.

And, it just doesn't look good about Charles, the new king, who owns so much, who

can never be taken to task about ANYTHING. You know what they say about power.

Absolute power. That's what he has. And I further heard (not verified), that

Kate and William supported Jocelyn Ardeen from N.Z!!! I hope I'm wrong on that.

I love children, love young people, try to help whoever I can, whenever, wherever

I can, but I don't condone bringing more into this toxic world.

Maybe, just maybe other countries? I heard that Portugal allows parents to

be in charge of their children, has old fashioned values. I think Georgia is another,

maybe a few others.

To be responsible for another HUMAN for the rest of their lives is a responsibility.

And if everything points to satanism, to WOKE, to corruption ruling everything,

then, logically, it's a bad idea to bring a human into that.

I'm passionate about proper treatment of humans when possible.

Passion must be an integral part of the totally misunderstood concept of love.

Passion is hot. An igniting characteristic that motivates to do good in the land.

It has to be, at the utmost least, logical, reasonable, to see the reality of putting on hold the rearing of children in times of extreme duress.

When expensive- to run vehicles line up for miles in order to receive emergency food rations from those Christian (who else does this - the government? - never!!!) charity organizations, it has to be clear that we are in hard times.

The proper development of children requires ample opportunity for positive experience and hence, good growth.

The stability of wellbeing in the development of children determines their character and the future direction of world stability.

Which is one huge factor in the dismal failure of beleaguered Millenials to be able to cope with world events and the attendant hardships.

As you explained, animals and humans that lived close to the land, have the proper and realistic instincts to put baby-making on hold in perilous times such as this.

Will the mainstream ever acknowledge this dire writing on the wall, or remain in wilfull ignorance?

This question of course, is rhetorical.
