FTSE 100 boosted to pandemic high by oil majors At just after midday, the FTSE 100 remains up 0.3pc boosted by oil majors Royal Dutch Shell (up 2.3pc) and BP (up 1.39pc) which are reacting to the oil price rally. Today the blue-chips have peaked at a new pandemic high, however the index still has a way to go before it returns to its pre-pandemic level of around 7,400 points. ....

Too many cars, too many holidays, too much food, too many dogs, too many computer screen addicts, too many crazy crowd events. Football, pop concerts.

We need rationing and to get onto a war footing.
2 holidays per year at UK. 2 weeks total.
1 trip abroad every 2 years, 1 week.

5,000 miles per year motoring. Extra miles 50p per mile tax.
2 cars maximum per family. Max 1.4 ltrs.
1 dog. annual ownership tax £2000 p.a.
2 hours computer time per day.
2 hours smartphone use.
£1000 fine for not clearing dog excrement.

We have become dirty, lazy, polluting, overcrowded, gridlocked, screen staring zombies.

It is time to sacrifice some pleasures to save the planet. Back to a simple austere life.

It seems the climate change so called 'scientific' debate is closed.
No longer a discussion, always assumed that we have higher temperatures caused by greenhouse gasses.

The assumption is that if we all become carbon neutral then the climate would return to pre industrial condition.
There seems to be such weak evidence to support these arguments.

Even the most basic assumption that 400 parts per million co2 in the outer atmosphere allows radiated heat in from its mighty source, the Sun, yet does not allow it out.

Heat transfer is a complex subject but a lot of the science seems feeble.
Even the measurement of the Earths mean temperature accurately is impossible.

The 'tax' will possibly be implemented via smart meters hiking the price to charge a vehicle during peak demand i.e probably overnight. E7 tariffs will cease to exist and night storage heaters will be too expensive to run.

"I would argue Vauxhall is miscalculating several things:
1) The value of an EV's lower fuel costs....."

Do people not realise that 90% (or some such figure) of the cost of fuel is Government Tax. The only reason electricity is not taxed for car use is the low number of EV's on the road. As soon as EV's numbers increase then UK.gov will slap a massive tax on EV usage.

"Electric cars may make driving too expensive for middle classes, warns Vauxhall chief"


Part of the plan clearly. Price most people off the roads(#YouWillOwnnothing - not even a car which you can hire)

Roads will become emptier,journeys will become more pleasant for those can afford a car (but the regulatons will be high)

British Governments plan to destroy British car manufacturing Update:


G7 drops target aim to shift car sales away from oil

Group of Seven nations backed away from plans to set a target for making sure most new cars sold are greener vehicles, instead pledging only speed up efforts to move away from combustion engines.

Would be great if Shell exited their Permian and Vaca Muerta positions. It's a fantastic resource but in the hands of Shell both are going nowhere due to the excessive debt Shell has, in part because Ben overpaid for the BG acquisition. LNG trading had the same fate. Used to make a fortune when BG ran it. Not anymore. Not sure what happened but I guess all the smart brains in LNG trading left as Shell HQ probably 'handcuffed' traders ability to trade imaginatively.

The green Opposition MPs are like RemainJUNE 14, 2021 6 COMMENTSListening again to the tired and repetitious high level arguments of the Opposition MPs advocating faster progress to net zero whatever the cost, I am reminded of the years of their lectures on the dangers of Brexit . On both topics they are sure they are right. They despise anyone who questions their beliefs or suggests amendments to their position. They arrogantly dismiss opponents as too stupid to have a worthwhile view, or too badly informed to take seriously.They do not even want  to hear an alternative way of meeting their high level aim which presumably is  a better quality of life for the many, whilst tackling flood or drought risk proportionately.They proceed by making a series of very gloomy forecasts for us all unless their policy is followed.They refuse to analyse why their forecasts have often been wrong in the past, and ignore or explain away repeated errors in their forecasts as new data emerges. Above all they ignore the views of many voters. When challenged on the gap between what they think and what a lot of voters think, they say the political elite has a duty to act and needs to teach the public to accept the actions. They get plenty of help from traditional media. There is an accepted framework to the green debate. The  science is settled. Global warming of more than 2 degrees is coming unless   we adopt early net zero. That will Flood low lying cities, cause water  shortages and forest fires and melt the poles. CO 2 aided  by methane rather than water vapour is the main culprit. Pricing carbon is part of the answer. People must be taxed, priced or regulated out of plane travel, off meat and dairy, out of diesel and petrol cars and away from fossil fuel heating.One of the reasons a lot of voters say they broadly agree with  this yet do nothing to change their own lifestyles is the perception of double standards.If the great powers actually thought this was a life and death matter wouldn't China and Germany  be closing their coal power stations now? Wouldn't the EU cancel the Nord stream 2 Pipeline and fund  a green alternative to Russian gas? Wouldn't all the experts behind the COP 26 climate  conference ban all those jet flights to it and go virtual?Above all they fail to deal with the fundamental dilemma faced by China and emerging economies. They need fossil fuels to achieve higher living standards, but their incremental demand tips the world over the top on these carbon accounts. Does the advanced world have the right to stop fossil fuel growth in large populated developing countries? Is there anyway the advanced countries can help them leapfrog to low carbon economies? So far the use of oil, gas and coal in countries like China and India is rising remorselessly up for billions of people.... John Redwood

Hopefully they sell off all their assets and wind the company down.I think that will be the most profitable way out for shareholders.

European stocks set to inch higher as global markets assess inflation spikes

Key Points

The U.S. Labor Department reported a 5% annual increase in its headline consumer price index on Thursday, its fastest rise since 2008.

However, strategists have suggested there is enough evidence in Thursday’s data to sustain the Fed’s assertions that hotter-than-expected inflation will be transitory.

European markets are set to open fractionally higher on Friday as global markets shrug off a sharp rise in U.S. inflation, with many strategists believing it to be transitory.

Britain’s FTSE 100 is seen around 10 points higher at 7,098, Germany’s DAX is set to climb around 28 points to 15,599 and France’s CAC 40 is expected to gain around 7 points to 6,553, according to IG data.

How will governments gain popular buy in for their green revolution?JUNE 11, 2021 POST A COMMENTYesterday I launched a pamphlet through Politeia on the ever topical green revolution. In it I asked one central question that governments seem reluctant to ask. When will government and the private sector produce the products and services that they regard as green which fly off the shelves and figure on people's wish lists?Today practically all of us accept carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which will heat the planet if more is produced and  nothing else changes. We also accept that advanced country  governments intend to take people on their railway track to net zero as soon as they can. The track will be signed and  the trains powered by subsidy, carbon taxes, rules and laws.Whilst most people tell pollsters they do think the world is warming and something should be done about it, most people do not plan to do anything very much about their own lifestyles anytime soon despite government urging. Most people have no plans to rip out the gas boiler and put in an expensive heat pump. Few want to pay up to get a new electric car, or have done the sums and cannot afford one. Many people still want to fly abroad for a holiday as soon as covid rules allow. Most family diets continue to include dairy  and meat products despite the carbon footprint they create.Three other panellists had their say. They all spoke only about government policy and large companies. None of them would engage with my simple and crucial question about consumer behaviour. One of them told me the policy answer is a much higher carbon price, presumably to price the lower paid out of  carbon based goods and services. One proposed a big subsidy for electric cars to get more people to buy them. They all seemed to think the prime duty for the revolution rests with governments, and governments just need to keep sharpening the regulatory controls and fiddling with the taxes and subsidies until carbon based activity is taxed out of the system.They did not wish to pursue the issue of why Germany, a keen green advocate, plans to continue with coal based electricity generation well into the next decade. They did not comment on the way large quoted companies, told to get out of coal, simply sell their coal assets onto someone less exposed to criticism.  They  seemed to think banning all new diesel and petrol cars as early as 2030 would work fine.  So I ask again, where are the iconic must have products of the Green revolution? Where is the  new domestic heating system, the new diet, the new personal transport that has the pulling power of the smartphone, the ipad and the Amazon Prime and Netflix  subscription? For this revolution to take off governments need to engage with the public, not just talk to the elites..... John Redwood
