The Learning-Impaired Managers of Bushfire Risk

  • Peter Rutherford
  • 23rd February 2021

This summer has been a mild one in Victoria -- plenty of rain and cooler-than-normal weather, which means the bush and its future fuel loads have grown. Come the next drought, it will cure and it will burn as surely as the sun rises in the west. Bushfire managers and their advising academics seem incapable of grasping this simple truth

The Frozen Wastes of the Warmist Mind

Heard the Antarctic is melting, especially from a feminist perspective? Of course you have, just as I was once again reminded by the tour guides' commentary on a recent joy flight over the still-frozen continent. Lovely trip, incredible scenery -- and all washed down with lashings of pseudo-scientific bilge

A newly released IPA study looks at a range of estimates for the much-vaunted 'new green jobs' those spruiking an energy-poor future insist will burgeon all over. What it finds is that not only will they fall well short of replacing the jobs at risk, they will transform for the worse Australian lifestyles and lives

Truth and Climate Change

Neither The Greens, the ABC nor their fellow travellers are nearly self-reflective enough to suffer embarrassment as their science-is-settled adherence to the catastropharian gospel proves to be in error. They will ‘cleverly’ explain away a cooling climate in a way which is bound to satisfy the dolts in their thrall

The Warning in Mount Warning’s Closure

The public service stewards of Mt Warning National Park once urged visitors to make the 'fantastic walk' to the summit for 'dazzling views'. Today, it is the alleged hazards of visiting the peak that dominate the NPWS website, all to be taken with a bucket of salt. In banishing visitors, as is happening in other locations across the country, the bureaucrats' real intent is to make life easier for themselves

On the Whole, Koalas are Smarter than PETA

Marsupials aren't generally reckoned among the more intelligent species, but the dim lights of their tiny brains still outshine the 'animal rights' activists who are their self-appointed defenders. Indeed, while your typical look-at-me-in-an-animal-costume protesters make a lot of noise, their ignorance of koalas, habitat and why the population rises and falls would fill volumes

Trofim Lysenko Looks Down and Smiles

Like the Soviet geneticist, who bent the sail of his findings to the political wind blowing from the Kremlin, too many modern scientists demonstrate a distressing eagerness to mesh their pronouncements with the favoured narratives of the politicians and institutions who fund them. President Eisenhower warned such ethical bankruptcy was coming. Now it's here

When Smart People Get the Climate Crazies

Generally speaking, one doesn't become the youngest-ever Governor of the Bank of England without having an above-average intelligence, which makes Mark Carney, now the UN's Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, a very sad case indeed. He made the perils of soaking the brain in green piffle obvious to all when delivering this year's Reith Lectures

First Ayers Rock, now Mount Warning

  • Marc Hendrickx

The case to shut the walking track to the summit of Mount Warning is built on a foundation of lies and faux facts that, were they to be piled one atop the other, would soar far beyond the former volcano's spectacular peak. Once again, at the behest of activists and to the delight of bureaucrats, Australians are being denied and divided according to race and myth

Is There Nothing Matt Kean Can’t Do!

As the fires of recent decades have shown, especially last summer's inferno, mismanagement of the bush has become very nearly a diabolic art. But not to worry, champion of wind turbines, eco rorts and rent seekers Matt Kean has saved the Blue Mountains' Wollemi pines from further threat. Such are his powers it required but a simple stroke of his mighty green pen
