Bushfires have always needed three things: dry fuel, hot winds and a spark. Now there's a fourth ingredient, according to warmists, who have peppered news coverage of the recent blazes in NSW and Queensland with oracular pronouncements that catastrophic climate change is the catalyst. Pity they don't mention lousy forest management, irresponsible development and a wilful ignorance of history

When climate huckster Al Gore visited Australia in 2017, he pretty much limited his interviews to the ABC. There can be no doubt the former US vice-president is a pocket-lining charlatan and hypocrite, but he's not entirely stupid. When a green fraud fancies kid-glove treatment, the national broadcaster waits on bended knee, forever happy to oblige

Uncontrollable weeping, depression, wee hours angst, kiddie stories that can only be read by the cognoscenti as portents of global doom -- such is the lot of elite climateers. Yet they struggle on in their misery, alerting a dying and heedless world to the peril only they can see and, of course, their dire need for more grants and funding

Heralded by an art magazine as one the world’s top ten “Future Greats”, Catherine Sarah Young turns human excrement into soap and calls it art. Somehow or other this combats global warming.

When even politicians on the conservative side of politics tug their forelocks before the assembled rent-seekers, profiteers, scam artists and pimps of bogus science lining up for their grants, you know Australia has a bad case of climate derangement syndrome. In comparison with New Zealand, however, we seem almost sane

As climateers expand the purported symptoms of imminent planetary doom, the dictionary has failed to keep up with them. So what about adding 'gergising' in honour of Melbourne University academic Joelle Gergis, who admits she is reduced tears and rage by thoughts of global warming's predations?

When even Bob Brown decries wind turbines and their environmental damage you know the technology's moment has all but passed. And the Greens' patron saint is not the only one to lose the faith. Time magazine "environmental hero" Michael Shellenberger, who once campaigned against all nuclear reactors, now says the atom is the only responsible way to go

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York waitress-turned-congresswoman, has a grand scheme to make the US carbon-free by 2030 -- a project so costly and so far removed from reality that it has naturally drawn the gushing support of left-leaning editorialists and green-brained columnists. There is quite a bit more to it however than simply making the weather behave itself

A committed Catholic, and former priest wonders when the light of truth and reason will once again illuminate the Vatican's approach to science, banishing the shadows of enviro-paranoia that darkened Pope Francis' Laudato Si' and has seen the prophecies of the habitually and infamously wrong Paul Erhlich treated as gospel truth
