David Fleming – Off-Guardian May 1, 2025
In the final weeks of his time as UK Prime Minister in 2007, Tony Blair made an oddly casual but revealing remark about the climate crisis.
“Don’t worry about the climate — technology will fix it.”
At the time, it seemed like a vague gesture. A reassuring message from a departing leader trying to bridge realism and optimism.
Eighteen years later, we now know what he meant.
On April 29, 2025, the Tony Blair Institute published a new climate strategy paper titled The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change.
At first glance, it appears to be a critique of current Net Zero policies — admitting they’re economically toxic, politically unpopular, and practically unworkable.
But on closer reading, it reveals something much more significant:
a polished blueprint for a global technocratic control system, built in the name of solving climate change through data, automation, and artificial intelligence.
The Switch: From Public Sacrifice to AI Control
Blair and his Institute are not abandoning Net Zero.
They are reframing it — from a movement of public sacrifice to a system of top-down automation.
The paper recommends:
- Abandoning political targets and messy global summits (like COP)
- Replacing them with coalitions of major powers, guided by scientists, financiers, and engineers
- Deploying artificial intelligence to manage energy consumption across entire societies
- Scaling up carbon capture technology, not just to reduce emissions — but to create new markets and credit systems
- Redirecting global finance into tech-based solutions, bypassing democratic input entirely
What’s notably absent?
- Democratic consent
- National sovereignty
- Any reference to freedom or privacy
It’s a plan not to empower humanity — but to manage it.
Digital Identity in Everything But Name
Though the report doesn’t use the words “digital ID,” the implication is everywhere.
Tony Blair has spent nearly two decades advocating for biometric and digital identity systems.
The vision in this report — AI-managed energy, carbon-based currencies, global coordination of behaviour — is impossible without a system to track, identify, and manage individuals.
Which means:
- Your energy use will be measured
- Your carbon impact will be calculated
- Your lifestyle choices will be assessed by machine logic
- Your access to energy, services, or money may soon depend on what your profile allows
This isn’t climate policy.
It’s the construction of a permissioned society — one that you don’t vote for, but are born into.
A Convenient Blackout
Strangely — or perhaps perfectly — the Blair report was published just one day after a massive, historic power outage plunged Spain and Portugal into darkness.
At its peak, 60% of Spain’s electricity was offline.
Cities froze. Trains stopped. Stores closed. Communication collapsed.
The cause? Likely a grid instability linked to over-reliance on solar and wind — the exact problem Blair claims his AI-optimised systems can fix.
Whether coincidence or choreography, the blackout was the perfect backdrop for a sales pitch:
“See? The old system is failing. Trust us with the new one.”
The Controlled Collapse Narrative
Blair is not alone.
- Donald Trump is attacking Net Zero from the right, calling it a disaster for the economy and energy independence.
- Kemi Badenoch and the UK Conservatives are now walking back climate targets, citing cost and unrest.
- Across Europe, support for green policies is collapsing under the weight of energy failures and rising bills.
But here’s the trick: this isn’t a collapse. It’s a handover.
Blair’s plan steps in as the “sensible alternative” — not to abandon climate governance, but to make it automatic, algorithmic, and unchallengeable.
The message is no longer “cut back to save the planet.”
Now it’s:
“Relax. You don’t have to change anything. The system will change you.”
The Real Danger
Blair’s 2007 promise — “technology will fix it” — has finally been fulfilled.
But not in the way anyone hoped.
This isn’t innovation that empowers people.
It’s technology as enforcement.
It’s infrastructure not to serve humanity, but to steer it — quietly, constantly, and without appeal.
What was once a public mission has become a technocratic machine.
And that machine now has a face.

That “Bliar” thing — now there’s the face of pure evil!
tony blair is listed as one of the biggest traitors to the people of the UK
Blair a psychopath cannot step foot outside his home with a team of bodyguards
after the iraq fiasco our own SAS who lost men fighting ona bunch of lies
have said they will be first to get him
blair is a bastard
The only reason, and I do mean, the only reason for Tony War Criminal Blair’s change of mind, is that daft Net Zero costs, and damage to Nazi UKs bankrupt economy, is impinging on the UKs ability to project what flagging power it has left.
Why leave Northsea Oil and gas untapped, because the UK requires high, and higher prices, thus higher nominal wages, to keep the sinking ship afloat. Higher taxes, demands higher nominal wages, higher inflation, eases the debt burden, allowing for more debt.
We are heading towards a manufacturing collapse, if they don’t stop Net Zero, which is actual economic suicide.
The problem today, so many green policies are hard wired into the economy, that winding them back leads to loss of income and jobs and the cash that sheeple gain in their pockets, goes on mortgages, rent, car leases, Just eat, and Netfucks.
The UK is priced out of the business sweet spot. Only the CCCs and corporations are immune, because they don’t pay the taxes that should be due.
Now you know why Nazi Amerika, and Nazi UK are going to keep printing, because as Donald Hitler implies, we ain’t taking the medicine, they are. We will see, because some Nazi based corporations are yielding to Donald Hitler. One notable Japanese corporation has given way, but Japan appears to be realigning with China.
We used to hear about China taking over Africa, but now it’s the Pacific Rim, the reason why the US went to war with Japan, but now the Nazis are losing their grip on power, because the Chinese have so much more to offer.
Believe it or not, this has implications for Net Zero. Being green is not an economy, or strategic plan.
An excellent article, with great insight. Maybe Joe Public will begin to read articles like this, and spread the word. Information of this kind is not available in MSM. It’s an information war principally. If all this stuff is implemented, sadly, the whole war will be lost.
Yes…
Of course without all the fearmongering, it’s harder to push the agenda, but there are serious problems with the agenda..one of the main ones being the imbeciles framing policy, because of course it’s difficult to get results from abject fantasy.. and employing yes men never engenders accuracy..
What you will hear lol. ‘going forward’ will be the usual ‘green’ nonsenses, ‘windyfarms’, solar, hydro etc etc ..but if you listen carefully..you might hear a new addition being bandied aboot…and that would be nooklear..yes…Nuclear is green now, not because it is of course..but because these muppets are being instructed say so..
and that’s because the Evil super villains*.. who compromised alt media such as slightly off guardian would like you to believe are on the verge of technocratic singularity and absolute muggle subjugation..
are actually a bunch of cartoon characters.. who are terrified you might notice… and under whose guidance the whirled is collapsing…
pretty damn quick..
*I used to have this conversation with imbeciles of my acquaintance and who used to bleat on about the so called/whatever, hidden government is at least a hundred years ahead of hehe..what they show you..
which could mean one of three things… if it were true, you would all be dead which evidently isn’t the case yet…if it were true they are inept imbeciles.. or my particular favourite…it’s all lies..
take your pick..
remember the blue tooth contact tracing..they tried during convid..hehe..they really though they had you with that one, until they reached the boundaries of their tiny little intellects,..
now you know why they think nooklear powered artificial imbeciles are going to save their arses…
lol…
nicoX got turfed out but carl jones still here ?
totally bloody barmy
b cole–Nico X is still here and c jones might not be
this man has cost England horrendeously + still living, parasiting.
like our mutti Mehrkill . there is no justice in this world .
bertrand cole: thanks for reading my comments, but, you don’t have to read them.. My name is up top, so you can just skip me.
Me, I don’t work for anyone, but the British Board of Deputies does send me a generous check each month. I think they put my name on the wrong list. Looks like I avoided the hit list. lol
Blair needs to stay in his retirement home and confine himself to ma jong or bridge instead of politics. He’s really bad at the former.
It always make me laugh to see – as in the above photo – that money-grubbing grifter ‘Phony Tony’ all pensive & posturing as some sort of Elder Statesman with the weight of the world on his shoulders
whose latest mission, on this occasion, is to save to save Planet Earth (and squirrel-away a few shekels on the side for proselytising carbon-credits!). As if that imbecile would know the FIRST thing about “Climate Science”! 🤣
Anyway, I knew when I first clapped eyes on the scumbag – which was after the then Labour leader John Smith was bumped-off to make way for “Our Tone” – that he was nothing but a fkin phoney.. but took solace in the fact that no- one could possibly vote for such a obvious fkin fraud…
little realising at the time just how fkin THICK most Brits were.. who went on vote him in as PM.. not once… not twice… but THREE FKIN TIMES!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
..and it probably would’ve been FOUR or FIVE times – ad infinitum! – if that other scumbag Gormless Gordon Broon wasn’t squeezed into the slot after making a deal to sell-off the country’s gold to the “money lenders” for pennies on the pound! 😏
Never forget that the carbon they want to reduce is you.
Ah, Boy Toy Tony, the ever willing stooge of the rabid jackals and criminally insane vipers and parasites, the ever willing f*ck doll who may as well be made of latex with all of his holes available to get plowed and pummeled by the drooling rabbis as they have Satan whispering in their ears while Teabag Tony coos “Thank you, sir. May I have another?”
That demon, part rusting, reeking felch bucket and part shameless hatchet, er, man, is certainly among those who have fully deserved to have been chased through the streets, viciously beaten, then permanently dispatched in a most brutal and excruciatingly painful manner decades ago…and has become only more deserving of such a fate with each passing year. It is also rather obvious that Teabag Tony looks more and more like Gollum from Lord of the Rings with each passing year, only a more depraved, degenerate, and wicked version of that creature.
Nonetheless, someone, anyone, paying attention should have ripped out Blair’s tongue via his asshole, turned him inside out then dumped him in the deepest abyss they could find, sometime around, oh, 2001. Even better if he were aborted prior to birth, or even subjected to retroactive abortion at any time in the years since some unfortunate whore pissed him out of her syphilitic stench hole.
@ Lewis…
as Holmes would say.
“When all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”..
or my favourite..
“Eliminate the impossible, and what is left, however improbable, must be the truth”…
It’s a hoot…
Jonesy’s upped the anti-nazi or panty-fa now that he’s been assimilated by the 666th and Nico’s lurking on someone elses connection under his usual dictionary of aliases snidely commenting that Donal Hitler’s still on the loose…
That’s why I think Nico’s just a millennial whiner who thinks he’s been ghosted…which probably does describe most of the 77th because they are Fatherless millennial retards bossed about by women Warrent Officers with bad breath and Jonesy has probably been MK’d and napped at the farmers market in Llanelli…and replaced with a pod person working for Tony Blair and Vlad Pootin..
I’m sure 80% of the commentariat here are agency…anyway fucke ’em and bike they rode in on..
LOL..
why is tony blair even here ?
he is the carl jones of politics
a total useless c^nt
chesterton–I missed eight weeks of internet starting on Jan 4th and could not follow tts comments in that period, when the peak of understanding Carl J and Nico X would have come; you probably understand them better than I do, but it is always possible to simply address their content
