The global conflict of WWII, the bloodiest yet in human history, was as much a clash of cultures as it was a clash of arms. Different world visions collided as fiercely as the great armies which encountered each other on the battlefields of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The struggle of ideas was as vicious as the battle on, and below the waves as was the fight in the skies above. Indeed, the culture war and national differences drove the conflict and influenced where, when, why, and even how, the war was fought.\nChurchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt - as well as their opponents; Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito - shaped events. However, these intractable enemies were governed by the hand which history gave them, the political directed the personal, as they wrangled for control of the future.\nDespite the initial successes of Nazi Germany and Japan, Hitler and his Axis were eventually outgunned and outthought.\nHow much can we consider that German and Japanese capitulation was inevitable? And what drove so few men to command so many - and devastate so much? Economic and cultural factors, as well as military power, determined victory for some and subjected others to defeat and utter ruin.\nIn many regards, Second World War throws up more questions than answers, but World War II: The First Culture War addresses certain controversial and unpalatable issues.\nThe war fighting skills and the ability to manufacture the weapons that were so effectively wielded by the Allies were begotten by the notions of individual freedom, limited government, and property rights. Those concepts emerged in one place only, mediaeval England. The culture that produced Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism, and colonialism, gave Britain and her Allies the advantage over the Nazis.\nInitiative, imagination, industriousness, innovation, ingenuity, and inventiveness; encouraged by the powerful inducement that is a lust for private profit - though now unpopular in some circles - proved to be the basis for the superior social, economic, political, and military system which confronted the Axis.\nFor some time, Great Britain and its Empire stood alone against the might and menace of the Axis powers. Churchill, embodying a culture of defiance, believed that the English-speaking peoples would ultimately triumph. He was right. World War II: The First Culture War asserts why he was right and how this great victory was fought.

For too long tradition and common sense have been marginalised by an illiberal elite, whose supposedly progressive ideology has degenerated into a collective mental malady. This treatise describes the virulent spread of 'woke' group-think as moralitis - a cultural virus. Robert Oulds and Niall McCrae show how and why we must protect society from the social justice agitators of subversive identity politics, and reverse their long march through the institutions. Treatment and prevention of this disease is crucial to reviving the Enlightenment values of liberty, reason and truth. Consider this book as an antidote.

CO2 - Nature's Gift is the companion to Jeremy Nieboer's CLIMATE All is Well All Will be Well published in October 2021 and listed on Amazon as 1st Best Seller in Climate Change and Ecology. 
Nature's Gift demonstrates that Carbon Dioxide is the most important gas for humanity. 
By photosynthesis in plants and trees it produces all the oxygen we breathe. 
It provides the energy store of plants- the food of all animals including humans. 
We breathe out 3lb/1kg of CO2 every day - it is not a pollutant 
The book makes a devastating case on the dangers of "de-carbonisation". CO2 in the atmosphere is now 417 parts per million. For 99% of the time since life emerged it has been 5 - 10 times higher. If it falls to 150 ppm plants cannot survive - nor can we. The ideal for food yields is around 1,500 ppm. It is the increase in CO2 that has greened desert regions all over the planet since 1960. It abolishes famine. 
There is no trap or blanket of CO2 over the Earth. With water vapour it helps keep the surface at an average of 150C - without it Earth would be a snowball. For millions of years CO2 has been fully 'saturated' with radiation from the surface - it cannot absorb more heat. Doubling or trebling CO2 increases temperature by just 10 C. There is no climate crisis. 
We need abundant CO2. There is nothing to fear.

Climate, all is well, all will be well

The appalling events in the Ukraine have shocked Western democracies. Yet this disaster has allowed reality to assume its dominion over wishful thinking. All but the most obsessed will know that we must regain self sufficiency in energy - energy that is abundant and affordable.\nThis can only be guaranteed by exploiting the fossil fuels that lie under the surface of our land and seas in the knowledge that emissions of CO2 can only be of benefit to all humanity. We are paying a crushing ransom to the cult of 'Climate Change'.\nFor 20 years our governments have prescribed and enforced the abandoning of our own reserves of coal, oil and gas for generation of electricity. They have deprived the UK of energy self sufficiency. They have exposed us to uncontrollable soaring prices for gas on global markets. No adequate, secure and reliable energy source is available at economic cost. Vast subsidies alone sustain wind and sun power imposing heavy levies on all households.\nElectricity that depends on atmospheric pressure is inadequate both in reliability, efficiency and cost. It cannot be stored. Sun panels depend on absence of cloud cover. There is no power for half the year. Wind turbines depend on the right wind velocity. In storms and on days of high pressure they are of no use. We depend on gas to maintain supply.\nBiomass combustion is carbon based. It burns wood and wood residues, agricultural residues, waste from industry, farms and households. There is no reduction in emissions. It is all imported. 20 train loads of pellet arrive daily at the Drax power plant alone.\nIn 2020 just 13.7% of UK primary energy was from low carbon sources1. Only 4.7% of power generation was provided by wind and sun power. Yet subsidies now inflict on households, commerce and industry a levy of at least 25%. Since 2000 UK oil production has fallen by 62% with gas down by 65% and coal down by 94%.\nThis grave and desperate predicament has not been inflicted by war. It has not been dictated by exhaustion of resources. It has been imposed without national debate.\nIt has been brought down upon us solely by unquestioned submission to the dogma of global warming which has banished all scientific enquiry and which tolerates no dissent.\nIt depends on a single great falsehood - that CO2 is a pollutant that acts as a 'blanket' to 'trap' the Earth's heat causing dangerous warming that imperils the very existence of humanity.\nIt is that colossal falsehood that this book seeks to expose. CO2 provides the food of plants and so of all humans and animals. By photosynthesis in plants it produces all the oxygen we breathe. It keeps Earth's temperature in natural balance. If CO2 more than doubled no warming effect would be noticed. It would create surplus food for all.\nCO2 is Nature's great gift to humanity.
