Following HSBC, Barclays and so many other banks we’ve lost count, quitting the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) they have finally seen the writing on the wall and called it a day. Although it is being worded as a “pause” and “transition” we all know what is happening here. People are waking up and smelling the CO2 coffee and it doesn’t smell anywhere near as bad as we were told it should. In fact, all this extra CO2 lying around is so good for life in general we are starting to get on board with the fact we want more of it!

This means net zero can do one, quite frankly. The good news came on the 27th of August as a member vote is being held “NZBA has paused its ongoing activities while members complete the current voting process and will share the outcome once voting concludes at the end of September.” 

An equivalent investor group, the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, announced in January that it would review its activities after BlackRock and others announced their departure from the group. 

The best outcome would be for them to just stop all activities, call it a day and go onto something useful and productive for society. That would mean admitting defeat, rather than all the banks simply leaving as is happening now and causing the NZBA to die anyway with about 18 banks leaving since October 2024. It is rare for the climate cult to ever admit they are wrong about anything especially when so much has been invested into this narrative.

Isn’t it awesome that a narrative with £trillions in backing, supported by some of the most powerful institutions and people on the planet with near unlimited media coverage is being destroyed piece by piece by a rag tag group of activists and truth tellers on a shoe string budget with a handful of memes, leaflets, graphs and words? Truly a testament to the power we have, net zero has never looked weaker. 

While the banks have sought to reassure their exit would not affect their climate commitments, analysts have warned that the recent exits send a clear signal to the market that climate change has become even less of a priority for financial institutions. Well, let’s hope so! If we can keep up the momentum, banks, businesses and countries wont even feel the need to pay lip service to net zero and the climate cult.

Prior to the launching of our Carbon Clarity Campaign and our Climate Con leaflets, everywhere you looked, net zero seemed like an absolute certainty. Never ending legislation in its favour, company by company, country by country (except China) were being consumed by the net zero dogma and its completion of the destruction of the west seemed all but guaranteed.

Then The Climate Con Army took things up a gear, said no thanks and we went on a relentless campaign which is still ongoing where we distributed over 50,000 leaflets nationwide and our social media efforts reaching tens of millions worldwide as we dismantled the agenda piece by piece and got the truth about CO2, warming, sun dimming, meat, sea level rise, natural cycles and more to everyone. Also, fresh waves of change coming from the Trump administration and friends were a breath of fresh air and like the cavalry arriving just when needed. Then our enemies admitted the culture war is tipping in our favour and now we have wind turbines being gutted in the USA and their Department Of Energy creating reports that make any truth teller blush they’re so good and true.
