If Russia's tyrant didn't exist the renewables lobby and its mouthpiece politicians would have had to invent him. They're lying when they try to pin the blame for soaring gas and electricity costs on the war in Ukraine. Fact is -- and the numbers leave no doubt -- the hobbles so-called green energy has inflicted on the economy and household budgets are all their own work

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has copped wholesale grief for having worn a Nazi uniform 19 years ago at his 21st celebration. If only he were a careerist scaremonger and author of thoroughly discredited papers about the vengeance Gaia is planning, like the professional alarmists at Skeptical Science, a delight in Third Reich drag would have been a big yawn for mainstream media types

The Climate Council arose out of the ashes of the Climate Commission, which Tony Abbot sensibly disbanded in 2013 as a blight on sane debate. Crowd funding helped give Tim Flannery and fellow deacons in their Church of Doom an ongoing gig. But unlike old soldiers, old climateers refuse to do us a favour, stop fulminating and fade mercifully away

Liddell will close next year, Eraring in 2025, Yallourn in 2028, Loy Yang A in 2035, and, bet your life, more closures will be brought forward. Australia will run out of power. Blackouts will ensue. But don’t worry, governments have smart meters up their sleeve.  These will allow the powers that be to monitor your electricity usage and cut off those whose social credit score is not up to scratch

Do climate-change careerists actually believe their own predictions of looming doom, the ones they extract from the same models they themselves concoct? Perhaps they do, perhaps their jeremiads aren't just let's-scare-'em bids for attention, headlines and grants. Whatever the academics' motives, a cadre of self-righteous public nuisances treat them as gospel

The interplay of domestic laws, international commitments and present-day courts spells the end of any new coal or gas developments in Australia. Imbued with climate-change fervour, what Queensland's Land Court and other green bodies pointedly ignore is that luck has a habit of running out when a country recklessly throws away its inherent advantages

Black Summer proved beyond doubt that explosive scrub, koala plagues and megafires go hand in hand. This was already obvious from the Strzelecki Ranges, where Victoria’s supposedly last natural population is still unnaturally dense after 20 megafires in 200 years. But The Greens never let facts get in the way of a good enviro scare

UNESCO selected – some might say weaponised – Delphi not only because it was the most sacred place in ancient Greece and birthplace of Gaia, mother of all. It was home also to the Oracle, hence an ideal location to promote the UN's prophecies of climate catastrophe

As the Labor government contemplates interventions in the energy market of a damaging kind, it would be nice if facts took centre stage -- that cyclones have trended down since 1970-71 or that drought and monster floods are and have always been Australia's lot. What’s hard about conceding those facts? They undermine the narrative and that cannot be permitted

Heard about one third of Pakistan being under water? Then you may have been listening to the ABC's version, which blithely passed on the news that it is all the fault of climate change. It isn't and, just by the way, floods never came anywhere near that reported coverage
