  • The Biggest Public Policy Disaster in a Lifetime

    There is no climate crisis but a crisis in public policy. This has already cost taxpayers and consumers hundreds of billions of dollars and that bill keeps rising -- good for the rent-seekers gaming the system, but a curse on the rest of us right now and, unless this madness is stopped, a catastrophe for generations of Australians to come

    The greens, environmental activists, social engineers and bureaucrat advocates all want to change our way of life. Well so do I.

  • Christmas Books: Ian Plimer

    Over the last few months, I have twice read Bob Carter’s Climate: The Counter Consensus. It is a far better book than my Heaven and Earth. Carter’s science is readable and totally demolishes the ideological paradigm that humans can create a climate catastrophe.

  • The real Copenhagen conference

    I attended the Copenhagen Climate Challenge Conference. It was about the science of climate. Speakers were scientists, lawyers and environmentalists.

  • Creating catastrophe

    It is claimed that there is a scientific consensus about human-induced climate change. Consensus is a process of politics not science. There is certainly no scientific consensus about human-induced climate change and the loudest voice does not win scientific discussions. Science is married to evidence, no matter how uncomfortable.

  • ETS Forum – It’s all in the rocks

    There is no direct, real world evidence for dangerous human-caused warming at all, and that despite the efforts of thousands of scientists and organisations since 1990, and the expenditure of approaching $100 billion, looking for precisely such evidence. Instead, the global warming scare is built entirely around unvalidated computer climate models that are known to be wrong.

  • Climate fundamentalism

    Climate change politics is religious fundamentalism masquerading as science.

  • Coming soon: Heaven and Earth

    At Easter, my book on climate change comes out. I destroy every single argument that has ever been raised about human-induced climate change.
