Convinced of their importance to the planet, three warmist academics are calling on colleagues to stop producing climate research. This, so they believe, will persuade governments to finally, you know, do something. While such a result seems highly unlikely, the notion of academia's grant-fed alarmists falling silent holds a definite appeal

If you've not heard of Italian physicist Gianluca Alimonti, no surprise there. As the lead author of a study that rates the so-called climate crisis as so much overblown nonsense, his is not the kind of news welcomed by vendors of green snake oil, rent-seekers and the climate hysterics in their thrall. So here for the record are some of his team's findings

The jaw-dropping thing about the Australian Academy of Science is that is supposedly devoted to the the unbiased pursuit of truth, but you would never guess that from the things its oh-so-woke fellows and execs get up to. Formal pledges to advance 'diversity', reams of nonsense about a dying Reef, Aborigines and climate -- this and worse, all underwritten by taxpayers

Having worked for Anthony Albanese, Kim Beazley and Bill Shorten, the Australian Academy of Science's CEO, ardent warmist Anna-Maria Arabia, has the contacts to chill the hearts of those who still believe in free speech and unfettered scientific debate. The Academy's latest push: getting Big Tech to suppress all information contrary to the narrative of climate alarmism

It’s nice knowing Quadrant’s readership girdles the planet, not so much what happened to the Canadian MP who tweeted a link to one of our recent reports, based on satellite readings, that Australia has seen no warming whatsoever in the past 10 years. He is now a former Liberal, having been expelled from the party for his deviation from alarmist orthodoxy

When the full impact of net zero hits we can expect a new category of 'premium consumers' – platinum users, gold users, some name like that -- who will pay extra to be guaranteed reliable power. It is ordinary families who will endure cold showers and meals cooked over primus flames. Those well-heeled Teal ladies and their enthusiasts aren't the sort to suffer with the hoi poloi

The same academics who claim fuel-reduction burning makes the forest more flammable also advocate that, if burning is to be done at all, it should be adjacent to towns and residential settlements.  Urging more of what the 'experts' insist will increase the fire risk of residential areas seems to me verging on the certifiably insane

The latest satellite readings, which track atmospheric temperatures to an altitude of 14kms, demonstrate that Australia has seen no warming in the past 10 years. Haven't heard the good news? That's hardly surprising, as the careers and livelihoods of countless climate 'experts', renewables spruikers and rent-seekers depend on ignoring the blindingly irrefutable

On the strength of not much evidence at all the UN expects the global population to flatten over the decades to come, a presumption at odds with what is happening in sub-Saharan Africa and 'high fertility' nations elsewhere. Inject a little reality and one prospect becomes clear: there is no way poor, teeming countries desperate for energy will join the green West in pinning their hopes on renewables

The University of Tasmania is feeding the Apple Isle’s primary schoolers a classroom diet of apocalyptic scaremongering about global warming, then checking to see how traumatised the deluge of misinformation leaves them. Despite the laughably, just-plain-wrong plethora of doomsday assertions, the ongoing program is rated an 'outstanding' success by its promoters
