Should he claim the White House on November 8, the US will reject the obligations of the Paris climate accord. Like him or not in regard to other of his stated goals and policies, a ferocious disdain for the economy-hobbling rent-seekers of Big Wind and the like is a powerful recommendation

That ABC would stack its Q&A panel and audience comes as no surprise, as that is standard operating procedure at the national broadcaster. But even by those low standards,  alleged climate guru Brian Cox plumbed new depths in bias, bad manners and a compere's partisan indulgence

Most what we are expected to believe about climate change is presented by the media, which makes last night's '60Minutes' worth noting -- not for its insights about Antarctica, as there were none -- but for the gullible vacuity of reporters and producers who should know better

Virtually invisible in their natural condition, koalas became the poster animal for greenies and empire-building  bureaucrats only after they became pests. Regardless of ecological realities, it suits the activists' cause to depict them as in danger and requiring salvation

Where do professional climateers and deep-green academics look for the mother's milk of government funding when their dire predictions continue to fall short? Why, the trick is to invent a new threat and crisis, then spout the same old catastropharian nonsense!

What to expect when the ABC teams four climateers with a talk-show hostess who believes that 11.7% of the population represents a majority? Why, The Drum Weekly, whose latest edition should prompt new Managing Director Michelle Guthrie to implement reforms. Not that it will, of course

There are rafts of administrators, reports, computer models, guidelines and plans, but the only restoration and conservation of any value is being done by volunteers and farmers. The vast sums currently being squandered could actually achieve worthwhile results were they redirected to practical solutions

Here we go again, with yet another attempt to animate the island state's moribund economy via vast sums of public money poured into the tertiary sector. Alas, until 'development', 'innovation' and the profit motive stop being regarded as dirty words, it will be good money after bad

Always good for a laugh, Australia's high priests of the catastropharian faith have been peppering acolytes with missives about each other's motives, competence and acumen.  If someone hasn't called a lawyer, they're even sillier than the current contretemps suggests

Imagine being a pro-coal activist -- or a climate sceptic, for that matter -- and enjoying open access to Australia's schools. Inconceivable, right? But if you're pushing Oxfam's green myths and downright lies, there is a welcome mat outside very nearly every classroom

Chances are that Paul Barry couldn't tell a dipole from a dipstick, but when it comes to serving as carnival spruiker outside the catastropharians' never-ending circus of ridiculous and improbable claims, the ABC presenter knows it's his duty to sound alarms on the taxpayer dollar

Her economic policies reek of ratbaggery, so let us hope she doesn't use her Senate clout to revive protectionism and tariffs. On multiculturalism and de-funding Big Climate's fools and charlatans, however, she is with the angels. No wonder the ABC is already spitting insults

The Australian Academy of Science has just honoured a fresh draft of boffins, including a pair whose names will be instantly familiar to all who marvel at Big Climate's high-volume alarmism. Professors Neville Nicholls and Ian Allison, step forward and take a bow

It can get hot in Adelaide, as all who have endured a summer in the City of Light will know. But hot as it gets, that is not enough for warmists and those who tickle temperature records for a living. Presto! A little computer magic and a lot of "adjustments" transform cooling into the exact opposite

Taxpayer-funded warmists have no need for sacramental confession to expiate the sins of their wild inaccuracies and habitually incorrect prophecies. As a recent spate of amended theories demonstrates, they just make up new 'facts' and keep those grants rolling in

The green-minded push to seal off swathes of bush purportedly untouched by the hand of man has much more to do with ideology than what actually happens on the ground. Only enlightened management can counter the real threats, feral animals and fire

The solar-powered plane that recently concluded its much delayed and long overdue round-the-world flight was predictably touted as further 'proof' that green energy has come of age. The real-world appraisal is dour: a PR stunt to obscure the fact that 'alternative technologies' are going nowhere

If Hillary Clinton wins the White House, her party's platform makes no bones about what is in store for those who dare to dispute the "settled science" of assorted computer modellers, grant-grabbers, propagandists and professional alarmists: a visit by the authorities

All the many and varied claims of threats are based on speculation and the flat-out fabrications of researchers, bureaucrats and activists seeking grants and donations. Let us hope that a political leader emerges to decry and defund the gold-plated alarmists and the immense harm they are doing

Water policies in Australia have jeopardised the futures of entire communities, crimped prosperity and substituted feel-good green nostrums for the sound, logical and effective management of our most vital resource. More than a mere "pet scheme", fixing that is a national priority
