In Part 1 we questioned the fundamental principles said to underpin "the Climate Science™." Specifically we considered the scientific validity of the claimed "consensus" and explored some of the many scientific doubts expressed about Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory and the so-called "greenhouse effect."
At the recent 28th Conference of Parties (COP28), convened by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the British aristocrat, political lobbyist and climate activist, King Charles III, said:
In Part 1 we contrasted the popular misconceptions about so-called "conspiracy theorists" with the well-grounded demographic research done on the individuals who, collectively, have had that pejorative label slapped on them. The demographic research reveals that there is no such thing as an identifiable group of people who can legitimately be called "conspiracy theorists."
There are certain assumptions that are applied to anyone labelled a "conspiracy theorist"—and all of them are fallacies. Indeed, the term "conspiracy theory" is nothing more than a propaganda construct designed to silence debate and censor opinion on a range of subjects.

In Part 1, we considered the forces shaping the world order and the attempts to impose various models of global governance upon it. In Part 2, we discussed the progress of the global power shift from West to East and asked why so many stalwarts of the so-called "unipolar world order" have not only accepted the inevitability of that power shift but have apparently assisted it.
In Part 1, we discussed the nature of "world order" and global governance. We learned the crucial difference between the Westphalian model of equal, sovereign nation-states—a mythical ideal, never an actuality—and the various attempts to stamp a world order on that template.
Russia's war with Ukraine is first and foremost a tragedy for the people of both countries, especially those who live—and die—in the battle zones. The priority for humanity, though apparently not for the political class, is to encourage Moscow and Kyiv to stop killing men, women and children and negotiate a peace deal.
Beyond the immediate confines of the conflict, the war is also seen by some as representative of an alleged clash between great powers and, perhaps, between civilisations. All wars are momentous, but the ramifications of Ukrainian war are already global.
The war in Ukraine, and Russia and China’s advocacy of a new multipolar world order, supposedly based upon national sovereignty, has led some to see Vladimir Putin, in particular, as a saviour of sorts. A few commentators have suggested that, motivated by his love for the Russian people and their culture, Putin is determined to stand against the assault on humanity embodied by the so-called Great Reset.
