Western civilisation is on course to be drowned by sinister forces -- Marxist greenies, governments, corporates and the media -- while useful idiots in posh inner-city suburbs cheer uneconomic and unproven technologies whose deficiencies they lack the mental wherewithal to understand. Hold on to your hats, and your diesel generator if you have one.

Before our elected leaders write more cheques to finance the fashionable fantasy that 'green hydrogen' can run your home, power the family car and save the planet from a carbon catastrophe, consider what happens when the gas is burned. The short answer: water vapour. And what do catastropharians label as the world's most abundant greenhouse gas? Yes, water vapour

Before surrendering to the world's Greta Thunbergs and signing up for the fabled net-zero pathway to carbon-free bliss, a responsible government would want to weigh real world costs against the wealth of cliches about wind and sun 'being free'. Do that, Mr Morrison, and you'll find $6.9 billion per year earmarked for the rent-seeking industry

The national broadcaster is spruiking 'Fires', its six-part series on 2020's Black Summer, which I will leave to drama critics to evaluate.

NSW Liberals, many reliant on funding from renewable energy interests, are introducing additional subsidies for wind and solar. Victoria's Liberals, similarly influenced by rent-seekers' largesse, seek to go even further into the wild green yonder than Labor. History doesn't speak kindly of parties so bereft of principle they borrow those of their opponents

There's a perverse pleasure to be taken in the self-inflicted emotional traumas afflicting climate crusaders, who a senior green academic relates are dissolving in tears and hourlong showers after swallowing whole the cult's apocalyptic expectations. After all their hectoring and protests and influence on politicians and power prices, it's nice to know they are just as miserable as they make others

Green academics have a new concern. The children whose brains they have spent decades filling with climate dread sometimes display a listless and disinterested defeatism, rather than the traffic-stopping, hand-glueing activism they endorse. How to instill just the right degree of useful anxiety in the young is one of their latest miserable dilemmas
