Mark, seeing that you're a multimillionaire, according to Stop the Oil guy, how about lending a few bucks to me? Maybe I won't bring Lulu or wave my constitution so much.
On the more serious note, if there is such abundant and cheap clean energy, why is Stop the Oil out lobbying rather than building the energy company that puts the oil companies out of business? Quite frankly, if Germany could power itself on tidal and wind energy, why would it or any other country even deal with Russia at all? Why would the rest of us even deal with Saudi Arabia or Venezuela or Iran?

Mark,
I am sorry to say but I think your interview with the pathetic Alex De Koning of Stop Oil Now missed the mark. The great thing about your show is that you budget the time of your show in order to deep dive into important subjects. However, debating doesn't always show well on camera.
People like Mr. De Koning have absolutely no understanding of history. He's 24. For the past 12 years he's heard nothing but, "Climate Change." He is completely unaware of the fact that people in Britain have died from heat related problems for decades. Virtually no one in Britain had air conditioning in their homes or offices before 1970. For most people, they just toughed it out for the 5 days of the year when the heat was excessive. All this has happened before. The reason people died this year is that Britain now has a large number of elderly who have been able to live for a long time due to the advances in medicine and technology over the last 100 years. Without those advances, the vast majority of the people that died this year from excessive heat would have never reached their advanced age. They would never have died of heat stroke. Most would have died many years before of a stroke, or a heart attack, or an infection of some sort, or cancer, or tobacco use, or the accumulated effects that come with chronic pain from a lifetime of work without the benefits of modern transportation and labor-saving equipment.
But to think this way one has to understand calculus, the study of change over time. But Mr. De Koning is 24 and he doesn't understand the passage of time. All he knows is today and as you say, "Permanence is the illusion of every age."
So, I think you would have been better served by not debating him, but instead simply asking him open ended questions. Let him pontificate on all kinds of subjects. Get him on the record. Ask follow-up questions to flesh his ideas out. By doing that, other media may start asking more questions. Instead, all we got to see was a clueless 24-year-old call you a racist for not wanting to move Somalia to Great Britain. Will you consider doing this instead?

Dear Mark:
It is plainly obvious that the elite all through the west are purposefully grinding our civilization into dust. What I don't understand is why they think that they will be immune to the resulting calamity. Their money and status might shield them for a time, but eventually the lights will go out for them as well. Why do they not see that this will not end well for them?

Hi Mark,
How much of the US financing of the war in Ukraine is about maintaining the unipolar world, the 'rules-based order' as they call it, the point being to prop up the US dollar as the reserve currency? Without that, the US would be revealed as bankrupt very quickly and the decline for them would be precipitous. Russia and China clearly want to move to a multipolar world and operate outside the strictures of the US dollar. In the end, does this whole conflict come down to money and who controls it? Cheers, and is there any chance of 'Tales For Our Time' making a comeback soon?

Hello Mark,
A report from a major consulting firm states the obvious; wind and solar cannot be relied upon to provide "net zero" electricity production. An example cited is from 2019, before the war in Ukraine, when energy shortages in Europe were due in part to months of historically low wind speeds. The solution? Nuclear fusion! A technology touted since the 1950's as a holy grail, but stubbornly impractical. Ridding the world of fossil fuels by 2050 is a fool's errand. Impracticalities are real and severe. We'll continue hear more promises about fusion and other futuristic "solutions" so that citizens do not conclude that the real end game involves downsizing living standards with less energy. Your thoughts?

During your time at The Spectator and National Review, did you ever meet Radek Sikorski? And was he a fire-breathing warmonger back then? I mostly remember a series of essays he wrote as he restored a dilapidated Polish country house, which gave me the impression of a man who valued conservation and restoration. It was a shock to read his giggling tweets about the attacks on the Nordstream pipelines and the Crimean bridge.

I know you said you would not be commenting on the UK political scene but I wonder if that has changed in view of this afternoon's development, the sacking and replacement of her chancellor with Jeremy Hunt.
This has got to be the final nail in the coffin of the current government.
As you have often pointed out we haven't had a Conservative government since Margaret Thatcher and the Labour Party too has completely lost its identity.
My question is are we about to witness the advent of some new political party groupings based on beliefs rather than constant compromise to appease powerful lobby groups? I would like to think so but everything seems stacked against this ever happening.

Hi Mark
You mentioned a few weeks ago that because the Americans are so hopeless at fighting wars (can't argue with this) - that they should be staying home and not getting involved in any foreign conflict. Which was a big call that seemed to pass without much discussion.
Can you please elaborate - how should the western countries be protecting ourselves when the US is sitting on the sidelines? What do you recommend to deal with the threat of China? First step is Taiwan but would they really stop there if the US was out of the game entirely?
Btw any Steyn Mann updates?

There are two types of climate change zealots. Most are just ignorant.

Let alone the core ice samples and sea samples that provide evidence. Like most things in nature it is cyclical. Then there are hate the west marxist's which I fear describes Alex.
The west is only 15% of the world population and the other 85% are not playing the global warming game. China and India are 40% of the world population and every month 6 new coal fired power plants go online in those countries. If Alex cared about the environment and human life, he would be gluing himself to the great wall of China or the Taj Mahal. I think he is a coward who will just kick his own civilization while it is down, and stead of taking on the real problems.

Mark, Being mindful, as well as a bit fearful, of the upcoming mid-terms, I firmly agree with you that election balloting in the U.S. should be only conducted on paper ballots....never on an electronic device. But, we Americans have always been suckers for new, shiny gadgets that purport to facilitate efficiencies. Just as pernicious, though, are the obnoxious, seemingly never-ending campaigns that start at least a year in advance of the election, as well as a system of fluid and arcane campaign finance laws that nevertheless allow donations (a.k.a., "payouts") to local election commissions as well as campaign-donation money-laundering through third-parties, such as NGOs and consultants. Coupled with the quid pro quo legal bribery promoted by our rapacious system of lobbying, and it is difficult for me to believe that fair elections CAN exist in this country. All of my life I've heard Republicans vigorously proclaim that "....money is free speech!" Now, I might seem a bit "Bolshie" in my attitude, but I've always felt a certain discomfort with this tired adage, especially in the context of election campaigning. Does a similar system of campaigning and campaign financing exist in other countries? Or are we Americans uniquely "American" in this madness? There must be a better way.
P.S. - With GB News's continuing dynamic success, are there any plans to open up a U.S.-based bureau....or does one already exist in the wilds of New Hampshire? I can happily imagine either you or John Cleese as GBN's White House correspondent....think about it....
