What was the worst industrial accident in history? Bhopal in India, where in 1984, at least 25,000 people died as a result of a leak of methyl isocyanate from a pesticide plant? No, if – as most people who have examined the evidence now believe […] Tagged:  coronavirus  origin-of-covid  spiked  Read More Here’s how to prepare for Britain’s net zero switch – buy a generator August 7, 2024 Matt Ridley Green shift is already leaving our energy system hugely vulnerable ‘If Ed Miliband has a plan to deal with the volatility and intermittency of renewable energy, he is yet to reveal it’ Heathcliff O’Malley Energy is already ludicrously expensive. Making it more unreliable will only compound our misery.

As a member of the House of Lords, I was not allowed to vote in the last three general elections. But I retired from the House in 2021, so democracy here I come. I shall scan the ballot paper with interest: who is standing […] Tagged:  politics  the spectator  uk-politics  Read More The truth about Covid’s origins is finally coming out May 12, 2024 Matt Ridley Under questioning from Congress, two key figures have unwittingly strengthened the lab-leak theory. Two of the key figures in the story of Covid’s origins gave away vital new information last week before the US Congress. One of these figures is Ralph Baric, the University of North Carolina professor who invented ingenious techniques for genetically altering […] Tagged:  coronavirus  origin-of-covid  spiked  Read More Why humanity is good for the natural world April 9, 2024 Matt Ridley Greens are suppressing the plentiful good news about the environment. Over the past few years, we have been subject to endless media reports on the devastating impact humanity is having on the global bee population. ‘Climate change is presenting huge challenges to our bees’, claimed the Irish Times last year. ‘Where has all the honey gone?’, asked […] Tagged:  climate  environment  spiked  Read More Solar farms are taking us back to the dark ages April 3, 2024 Matt Ridley Even green campaigners fear they are damaging the planet, consuming land that could be left to nature The actress Tracy Ward objects to her ex-husband the Duke of Beaufort building a 2,000-acre solar farm in Gloucestershire: “Solar panels should be on roofs, along motorways, or industrial sites,” she says. “Be careful what the climate change […] Tagged:  Solar  telegraph  Read More We must fight this chilling plot by the WHO – an unelected body in thrall to China – to seize power over nation states in future pandemics March 27, 2024 Matt Ridley The World Health Organisation is gearing up to persuade the world’s governments to sign a new pandemic treaty in May. Though called an “accord” so as not to frighten us democrats who still like that old-fashioned thing called accountability, it is a significant power grab by this unelected body. Never waste a good crisis, as […] Tagged:  coronavirus  pandemic  The Mail  The WHO  Read More The six lockdown questions this inquiry is failing to answer March 17, 2024 Matt Ridley The current investigation isn’t doing its job.

He set out […] Tagged:  coronavirus  inquiry  lockdown  telegraph  Read More Private landowners make better conservationists March 16, 2024 Matt Ridley The Duke of Norfolk is best known for presiding over the coronation as hereditary Earl Marshall, but what really gets him excited is a native farmland bird, the grey partridge.

I’m searching for them again this spring, listening for their ‘chair chair’ calls, but I am worried that they may be extinct here.
