James on talkRADIO TV discussing COP26 and Carbon Net Zero

James on the Kevin O’Sullivan show, talkRADIO TV, 5 November 2021, discussing COP26, Net Zero and the climate change agenda

James asserts the need to retain differences in categories like weather and climate, and the need for more open and reasoned debate. He argues that if changes in atmospheric conditions are in part at least due to industrialisation, then ‘if we created the problem, so we can uncreate the problem’.

In response to the desire to close down discussion, James says that ‘denying the denialists’ a platform is a very dangerous precedent to set and undermines free speech. Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, wrote a piece in the London Evening Standard discussing the proposal for a referendum on Net Zero and arguing that ‘We cannot let this happen’. James takes the opportunity to take on the contempt for the common man that Burnham shares with the elites at COP26.
