You might be fortunate to live in a municipality with relatively sane councillors, but increasing numbers of Australians are cursed by evangelising eco fanatics keen to stop hazard-reduction burns, celebrate gender fluidity and, above all, stack town halls with fellow extremists. The City of Darebin in Melbourne is a case a study, complete with a how-to handbook

Lacking shame and ever alert for fresh grant opportunities, the careerists and opportunists of the climate change movement began linking bushfires to global warming at the first whiff of smoke. That was good enough for gullible and/or activist reporters who, were you to quiz them, wouldn't know the Indian Ocean Dipole from a hole in the ground

For those driven to catastropharian despair by thoughts of what a trace gas is allegedly doing to life on earth, the solution should be obvious: go fill-tilt nuclear.
