Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, discusses his skepticism about the climate change narrative, which he believes is politically driven and has gained traction in the mainstream media despite being based on fake news. He highlights the lack of critical thinking and scientific evidence behind the belief in the climate emergency and notes the importance of educating the artisan class, who have a greater understanding of the issue than the middle class. Bloom also talks about the failures of government and the importance of individual freedom and risk assessment. Furthermore, he questions the need for experimental COVID vaccines for people over 70, the UK's decision to import trees to generate electricity while ignoring gas reserves, and the financial interests behind wind turbines. He invites people to visit his website, where he shares data and graphics about climate change.

00:00:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom introduces himself as a former member of the European Parliament and a retired city man with investment finance experience. His training and qualification in data interpretation and risk assessment led him to become a climate skeptic. He recounts the efforts he made to find definitive data that could show a correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming, offering a prize of around a thousand dollars to any researcher who could provide it. Bloom observes that the climate change narrative is politically driven and not based on science, but it has gained traction in mainstream media, which continuously promotes the idea, despite presenting fake news. He cites, as an example, aerial pictures of harvested cornfields that were brown or yellow, exactly the expected outcome, but were portrayed as evidence of a climate catastrophe.
00:05:00 In this section, former Member of the European Parliament Godfrey Bloom discusses his skepticism towards the idea of climate change and the political motives behind it. Bloom argues that famous individuals and politicians are pushing this agenda for their personal gain, and that fear is being used to control and manipulate the population. He notes that most people who believe in the climate emergency do not know the basis of their belief and that this propaganda has been ongoing for too long. Bloom also draws parallels between the climate emergency and the fear surrounding COVID, and highlights the recent pushback against these tactics.
00:10:00 In this section, former member of the European Parliament Godfrey Bloom argues against the idea that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will cause a significant change in our weather and explains that climate change has occurred throughout history. Bloom calls out the politicians who support this idea and suggests that many of them don't actually believe it themselves but push it anyway for political gain. He describes his experience working in politics and claims that the average politician is a moron with no real-life experience or critical thinking skills, and that they go into politics because they're "weirdos" and "sociopaths."
00:15:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, discusses the lack of critical thinking in our educational system and the difficulty of exposing the climate scam. He believes that people are not trained to question information presented to them and that the lack of scientific evidence does not stop people from believing in climate change. He also acknowledges that there is a lot of money to be made in the climate scam and that those who speak out against it risk losing their positions. He suggests that it is difficult to turn around this scam and that it may be more helpful to focus on educating the artisans, who have a greater understanding of what is going on than the middle class.
00:20:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom discusses the importance of the artisan class, or those who have real jobs and common sense, in having a more accurate understanding of issues compared to highly educated people who live in an academic world. He cites the example of Neil Ferguson, a mathematician who works on projections for Imperial College London, who has been consistently wrong with his projections for COVID-19. Despite this, Ferguson is still held in high esteem because mathematical models, which do not account for human action, are often wrong. Bloom points out that it is illegal in the financial world to make projections based on mathematical models, yet it is allowed for COVID-19 and climate projections. He also criticizes politicians and the media for not questioning the experts who have been consistently wrong in their projections.
00:25:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, discusses his support for GB News and their willingness to challenge the establishment. However, he notes that there is a risk of being closed down by Ofcom, the government-established regulator, if they talk too much about climate change or vaccine skepticism. He also comments on the lack of political representation for the working class in the UK, as all parties seem to be the same. Bloom suggests that a breakthrough could come through greater decentralization, which is already happening in some US states such as Florida and South Dakota. However, he acknowledges that things may have to get worse before they get better, and a collapse may be necessary for change to occur.
00:30:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, discusses the failures of government and how libertarians do not follow the idea that the solution to social collapse is more government intervention. He uses historical examples such as the French Revolution, Russian Revolution, and the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler to illustrate that these events did not lead to freedom but rather authoritarianism. Bloom also argues that the protection of constitutions, such as the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta, are being abandoned in both America and Britain, and that the principles of law and individual freedom are not being taught to school children. He also touches on the importance of risk assessment and how it relates to his previous career as an underwriter for life assurance.
00:35:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former member of the European Parliament, questions the need for an experimental spike protein therapy injection for a bug that has a 99% chance of recovery for those over 70 years old. He argues that people make risk assessments continually, but when it comes to climate or COVID, people throw these assessments out the window, going with the flow and groupthink instead. Bloom believes that people have gotten mixed up in green politics, leading to the destruction of conventional power stations and the conversion to wood burning technology, which has been found to be harmful.
00:40:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, argues that the UK's decision to import trees from the other side of the world only to burn them in an inefficient manner to generate electricity, while ignoring a hundred years worth of gas beneath Lancashire, is "sheer lunacy," propagated by the green lobby. He contends that green politics only exist in the UK due to the influence of politicians' spouses, and in the case of Prince Charles, the World Economic Forum. Furthermore, he believes that climate change has become a pseudo-religion, and as the society becomes more secular, humans need a belief system, which may explain why some individuals behave so fervently on the topic of emergency climate change.
00:45:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, discusses his independent website which includes contributions from genuine scientists with statistics and data about climate change. He argues that people should press the button and read the information available, instead of blindly following the climate change rhetoric. He believes that people are reluctant to talk about wind turbines, which are not working effectively and disfigure the landscape and seascape. However, he points out that landowners are making millions from them. Bloom questions why academics are not allowed on his website, indicating that they are part of the deep state. He gives an example of a shadow cabinet minister who couldn't even answer what a woman is, illustrating how bad it's gotten. Bloom believes that Britain won't start burning coal again because they have committed to net-zero carbon dioxide commission, despite many people struggling to afford heating their homes.
00:50:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom talks about the financial interests behind wind turbines. He points out that King Charles III makes more money than anyone else in the world from offshore wind turbines on the Crown lands. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is also one of the biggest wind farm subsidy farmers. Bloom criticizes the lack of rationality in these policies and the difficulty in dealing with it. He also talks about the irrationality of printing money without degrading it, which is taught as Keynesian economics in universities worldwide. He points out the contradiction of believing that it is acceptable for banks to print money without consequences, while individuals cannot do so.
00:55:00 In this section, Godfrey Bloom, former Member of the European Parliament, shares an interesting point that encapsulates the problem he sees in economics education in universities. He tells the story of a student who came to hear him talk about Austrian school economics and the professor who told the student that if he wanted to learn about those ideas, he should have enrolled in a philosophy course. This, says Bloom, shows that top people in academics don't consider economics a serious field. He believes that economics has nothing to do with mathematics and that one should not use a mathematical program to predict human behavior. Bloom also invites people to visit his website, where he posts about climate change and shares good graphics and data that he finds.
