UK Government Moves to Begin Jailing ‘Climate Deniers'
2023-09-16
[h/t Gates of Vienna] British lawmakers are advancing a disturbing piece of legislation that seeks to begin jailing so-called "climate deniers" who fail to comply with the green agenda.
Isn’t the current government there Tory, not Labour?
The UK Government introduced legislation related to enforcing globalist "Net Zero" measures.

However, the bill has set off major alarm bells amongst freedom-loving citizens across the country.

Many are questioning some of the draconian "Net Zero" measures contained in the flagship Energy Bill.

Last week, the legislation cleared the Commons at the third reading.

Buried in the Energy Bill are new laws that see property owners facing criminal charges for opposing the "Net Zero" goals.

Under this new legislation, those who fail to comply with the green agenda will be punished for their role in contributing to the alleged "climate crisis."

Citizens who fail to adhere to energy consumption regulations could face imprisonment for up to a year and fines of up to £15,000 ($18,700).

Prosecutions may also occur for providing false information about energy efficiency.

#6  As I understand the methane restrictions proposed for London, you can be arrested for farting in public. (not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not)

#5  Who denies the existence of CLIMATE?

OK, you can deny that the a-holes don't know squat about what it's doing or why (like me). But deny the existence of climate? I don't think so Lucy.
