• 00:00:00 In this section, Lois Perry introduces herself and her role as the director of car26.org, which stands for climate analysis reason, the UK's leading climate skeptic group. She discusses her extensive media background and her experiences with news organizations such as the Daily Telegraph and the BBC. Perry speaks about the struggles she has had with getting her views aired on the BBC due to their unwillingness to challenge the mainstream climate narrative. She contrasts the BBC with newer news outlets like TalkTV and GB News, which she praises for giving climate skeptics a platform to challenge the mainstream narrative. Perry emphasizes the importance of openly challenging the climate agenda, especially for young people who are naturally rebellious.
• 00:05:00 In this section, Lois Perry, director of car26.org, shares her thoughts on the current state of the government's stance on climate change. She refutes the idea that the government is still pro-big oil and points out that there is now an international consensus of government's advocating for net-zero policies. Perry believes that the real rebellion will come when young people realized they've been duped and that the collapse is coming, though she's unsure how long it will take. Perry also discusses the increasing price of energy in the UK, along with the role of talk TV and GB news in giving a microphone to people with dissenting views. Finally, Perry advocates against using the word "denial" in reference to climate change, calling it a disrespectful comparison to the Holocaust.
• 00:10:00 In this section, Lois Perry, the director of car26.org, discusses public opinion on the UK government's Net Zero plan and fracking. According to Perry, in October 2020, 58% of people in Nepal wanted a referendum on Net Zero, but more recent polling with conservative party voters found that 70% wanted a pause and review of Net Zero. The general public was split with 52% wanting to pause or scrap it. Perry notes that people are becoming more skeptical, especially when it affects their daily lives, such as heating and food. She argues that if Net Zero were fully implemented, it would destroy the country, and David Attenborough's call to reduce the world's population by 90% is not what people should look up to. Perry believes that the Prime Minister, despite saying the right things, thinks Net Zero is rubbish and is not trying to bankrupt the UK.
• 00:15:00 In this section, Lois Perry discusses the idea that CO2 is not responsible for global warming and argues that even if it were, a warmer climate is not necessarily a bad thing. She explains that people go to warmer countries all the time and that the idea that bad weather is evidence of CO2 causing climate catastrophes is "rubbish." Perry mentions how young people are being brainwashed from a young age and that she hopes they will soon realize the truth. She then talks about the strategic and well-organized nature of some climate protests, citing examples such as protesters smashing windows at a news building and activists causing roadblocks to prevent milk delivery. Finally, Perry praises the French police for their handling of climate protesters who had glued their hands to the road.
• 00:20:00 In this section, Lois Perry, director of car26.org, talks about the difference between Sky News Australia and Sky News UK in terms of their coverage of climate change. She mentions being interviewed by Sky News Australia and appreciating their skeptical approach. Perry also shares a humorous anecdote about being thrown out of Cop26 and doing an interview from the disabled toilet on her iPhone. She criticizes the lack of freedom of the press at the event and describes it as a "gravy train" for those involved. Perry emphasizes that her organization, which is often seen as right-wing, works with people from across the political spectrum. She notes that the policy of Net Zero will negatively impact working-class people and that her organization opposes it. Perry also mentions the recent lifting of the fracking moratorium and the election of a leader who is skeptical of the climate change agenda.
• 00:25:00 In this section, Lois Perry, director of car26.org, talks about their success in campaigning against fracking and changing the narrative around it. She mentions that some people in the space told her not to question the science and not to talk about fracking, but they ignored that advice and raised awareness about the issue. Perry also clarifies that her organization has not received any fossil fuel money and raises funds through merchandise and donations. Additionally, she talks about the importance of speaking the truth and fighting for what is right, particularly when it comes to the Net Zero agenda and its impact on people's lives.
• 00:30:00 In this section, Lois Perry, director of car26.org, discusses her skepticism towards the current "green agenda" and the similarities she sees between the tactics used to enforce it and those historically associated with organized religion. Specifically, she cites the cancel culture and de-platforming of those who dissent from the official narrative as a modern-day equivalent to "witch dunking." Perry also suggests that the underlying motivation behind the current anti-farming movement and the promotion of insect consumption stems from a desire to consolidate power into the hands of a small group of individuals. Finally, she expresses her belief that there is an anti-human agenda at play among some international organizations that purport to promote charity and goodwill.
• 00:35:00 In this section, the speaker discusses concerns surrounding electric cars, including that it is a stepping stone to eliminating travel altogether once people are controlled by them and they can just be remotely switched off. The speaker also warns about the plan to eventually have Wi-Fi enabled electric scooters which would have the capability to be remotely disabled as well. Additionally, the discussion touches on concerns related to smart meters that are being forced onto people which can limit when they can have a cup of tea and a shower. Lastly, the speaker raises the issue of a central bank digital currency that can be used to keep track of purchases and impose restrictions on travel and consumption, all in the name of climate change.
• 00:40:00 In this section, Lois Perry discusses her skepticism of renewable energy subsidies in the UK, arguing that they are a scam. She explains that people or companies that invest in wind farms, for example, receive a guaranteed set income for a set period of time, ensuring that they cannot lose money. This is despite the fact that wind farms are often built using nonrenewable energy sources and have to be replaced within 10-20 years. Perry also argues that civil servants in the UK are corrupt, saying that many are on the boards of renewable energy companies and make decisions that do not benefit British citizens. Perry's organization car26.org is currently filing Freedom of Information Act requests to try and uncover this corruption.
• 00:45:00 In this section, Perry discusses the allocation of funds to offset CO2 emissions, and how the current UK government and civil service are allocating 250 pounds per tonne to save one ton of CO2, despite other companies offering the same services for a mere ten pounds per tonne. Perry believes that a lot of this is just a way for banks to make money, and it's about the disenfranchising of individuals while banks make even more money. Perry also talks about how renewables are not cheaper than fossil fuels because renewables must be backed up with gas and how fracking is much more prevalent in the US than in the UK.
• 00:50:00 In this section, Lois Perry promotes her organization car26.org, which aims to fight against the "climate cultists." She encourages people to visit their website and get involved in the fight against those who prioritize climate change over other issues. Perry also emphasizes the importance of using humor as a way to confront these people, who she believes want to see humanity dead. Overall, she is grateful for the opportunity to share her views and encourages listeners to take action against what she sees as a dangerous movement.
