Patrick Moore's 'Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom' was published in 2020, but deserves a better fate than a transitory flash across the bookshop shelves. Logical, making no claims without evidence and, surprisingly, courteous despite the slanders he has endured at the hands of former green comrades, it is the perfect Christmas gift for the carbon hysterics in your circle

It is all there in one single edition -- the green cliches and talking points, the hand-wringing for our allegedly boiling planet, the nostrums and virtuous rejection of everything from private cars to the physics of electricity transmission. Yet, in a supreme example of cognitive dissonance, the same newspaper also mentions in passing why attaining Net Zero is pure fantasy

We can only hope some brave reporter in the mainstream media breaks ranks to quiz Scott Morrison or Angus Taylor about the disconnect between their rush to appease the alarmists and the fact that the harm they are prepared to inflict on the economy and the Australian people will be in pursuit of a goal demonstrably impossible to attain

As tourist destinations go, gritty Glasgow isn't much of one, but that didn't stop vast assemblies of Third World corruptocrats, their brothers-in-law and, in some cases, quite literally hundreds of hangers-on arriving to plead for $100 billion a year of other people's money. They didn't get it, but those jet-set junketeers still had a fine old time

How did the UN determine the Global Climate Fund’s annual pledges to the developing world should run to $100 billion? Oddly enough, it all started with a viola player, Aubrey Meyer, who advocates the atmosphere be regarded 'as a global commons'. Translated, that means First World emissions and lifestyles must be shrunk to match those of the Third

If the global elite were serious about limiting global warming, rather than redistributing global wealth, they might for starters have invested a little effort in grasping the difference between the linear and logarithmic. Thus armed, they might then have drawn up what might be called a 'carbon budget' charting future emissions. Had they done so, Glasgow's hotels wouldn't be booked to capacity

It was more than chilly in Antarctica recently, so disconcertingly frigid if you happen to be a professional warmist that hot, fast work was needed to place reports of record low temperatures in the correct context, especially for the mainstream media. Few challenges are beyond the ambitions of those who believe they can control the weather and to this challenge as a chorus they rose

The fact of the matter is simplicity itself: the longer forest fuels are allowed to accumulate, the bigger and harder to control will be the resulting bushfire. And here's another simple rule: you'll never win a Eureka Prize by detailing a concept so blindingly obvious, not when global warming is both the preferred culprit and scapegoat for the fire bureaucracy's massive failures

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
