You know I’m starting to suspect these millionaire chaps may not have our best interests at heart.

“Attacks”. So that’s what a difference of view is these days.

The church leaders’ narrative (net zero as a great economic opportunity with the UK in the vanguard of enlightened countries that are all part of a shared movement taking action against climate change) still resonates with a fairly large part of society, but it just sounds increasingly naive to me. I’m in favour of renewables where they have a role to play, but they’re only part of the solution to sustainability and security in a world that will remain drenched in fossil fuels for decades to come (naphtha, fertiliser, dispatchable energy, etc). The “net zero utopia” view just doesn’t hold up when most other countries are doing very little and our energy prices are so high that they’re starting to destroy our industrial base. It will be interesting to see if there’s a split in the electorate on this when prices remain high in spite of government action.

Strange what animates these Christian leaders to say things. You’d have thought you’d have heard more from them regarding assisted suicide and abortion decriminalisation.

As a Christian, I am often reminded of the fact that the Bible has pretty unambiguous instruction to be stewards of the planet. Jesus also had plenty to stay about attitudes towards money and helping the poor, so it really is quite tonedeaf of a multimillionaire investor (someone who makes money out of other people’s ideas and hard work rather than having any of their own) and Christian to say that it’s net zero policies that are impoverishing the elderly and poor.

I’m surprised global warming doomerism and end of days theology aren’t more closely aligned.

As always for these people, “Christian” needs to be in quotes

We really need some kind of new reformation. These prosperity gospel, end of days, literalist (but only the parts I like) types are not Christians. They bear about as much resemblance to Christianity as the Nation of Islam does to Islam. They should be treated as such.
