Tony Blair Calls For UK To Get Closer To Trump And Ease Climate Change Targets
Authored by Rachel Roberts via The Epoch Times,
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who led the Labour Party to three election victories, said the government should repair its relationship with the United States rather than look to rejoin the European Union.
Blair, who remains a deeply divisive figure within the party, published an essay on Tuesday amid a crisis engulfing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with a leadership challenge widely expected by September.
The influential former premier, who took the UK into the Iraq War in 2003 based on what an official UK inquiry later concluded was faulty intelligence, wrote that Starmer should not have prevented Washington from using British bases in the United States and Israel's ongoing war with Iran.
“The initial request was simply for the use of our military bases for the refuelling of American planes. I understand the reasons for refusal but it's not the best way...

Blair′s fossil fuel ideas ′bizarre′ in face of energy and climate crises, experts say (The Guardian)
|
|

Energy specialists say abandoning net zero and increasing oil and gas drilling would cause more instability for BritonsAbandoning net zero and drilling for more oil and gas in the North Sea would be a massive setback for the UK and would not help the economy, leading experts have said in response to claims by the former prime minister Tony Blair.“This is a bizarre intervention to make during the worst May heatwave on record and when the Iran crisis is providing yet more evidence of the enormous costs of oil and gas,” said Ed Matthew, the UK programme director at the E3G thinktank. “Clean energy is cheaper energy - it protects our bills from prices skyrocketing, its running costs are virtually zero, and it doesn't cause climate change which threatens economic collapse ... The government should ignore Blair's ideological nonsense and focus on what works.” Continue reading......

EU Emissions Trading Expansion And The Pressure On German Aviation Industry
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
Germany's leading airline Lufthansa is closing its regional subsidiary CityLine, while low-cost carrier Ryanair is scaling back its Germany operations. Airport locations are under increasing pressure, with tens of thousands of jobs at stake. And how does politics respond to this veritable crisis? Naturally, with further levies.
In this case, it was the EU Commission that came forward with the proposal to extend the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to international flights departing from Europe. Another new charge, wonderful. And this in the midst of the most severe recession since the post-war period.
The regulation could take effect from 1 January 2027, should the relevant institutions and national legislators adopt it. The motivation to push this process forward efficiently and with minimal bureaucracy is clearly present, as at least €11 billion, and possibly up to €13 billion, in tax ...

It Was Never About The Climate
Authored by Silvio Canto Jr via AmericanThinker.com,
Here is a question for your long weekend:
Why haven't you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere?
Why is it always the US or capitalism messing up the environment?
Why don't they show up at all when China is a bigger threat to clean air than any US city?
The answer is obvious, but I'll say it.
It was never about the climate but rather capitalism or the US.
Check this out:
In 2024, climate activists in New York City protested alongside anti-Israel protesters at a rally headlined “Climate Justice Means Free Palestine.”
Last year, climate change celebrity icon Greta Thunberg tried to storm Israel by sea on a flotilla protesting the country's war in Gaza, yelling “Free! Free! Palestine!” when she was refused entry.
And, last week, activists from CodePink, a far-left feminist activist group that has received funds from an American expatriate, Neville Roy Singham, living...
