Canada’s Grim Lesson in Bushfire Management

  • Roger Underwood
  • 8th July 2023
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (11)

With the exception of Western Australia, where good sense and sound bushfire science prevail, Australia is floundering in the depths of an era of incompetent and deluded bushfire management. The approach of governments and land and fire agencies, especially in NSW and Victoria, is deeply and tragically influenced by typically addled green 'thinking'. As just seen in fire-ravaged Canada, such an approach will always mean unstoppable infernos

Monash, a Fresh Clown in the Climate Circus

Fractured facts, a gift for self-promotion and someone else paying the bills are the longstanding hallmarks of your more successful climate catastropharians. Throw in bad poetry, ambitions to terrify kids with doom-themed video games, the 'sonification' of climate scares and any number of academics who have managed to avoid real jobs and what do you get? Why, Monash's Climate Change Communication Research Hub

An Invitation the ABC Couldn’t Resist

  • Tony Thomas
  • 21st June 2023

The ABC has just climbed into bed with a mob going by name of BAFTA-albert, which even by the unhinged standards of climate activism must surely rank as one of Britain’s most loopy eco-doom cults. If the national broadcaster feels it isn't quite doing enough to encourage ruinous power prices, landscape vandalism and the further enrichment of rent-seekers, it has now opened a content pipeline for a lot more of the same

The Rise and Riches of the Rentrepreneurs

  • Alan Moran
  • 5th June 2023
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (12)

Rather than rent-seeking, the entrepreneurs of yesteryear profited by identifying needs and satisfying expectations. That's not the way it works with today's players in the energy market, who seek and exploit opportunities created by subsidies, regulation and green fantasies. Twiggy Forrest, who recently paid $4.1b to acquire CWP Renewables, could deliver a fine tutorial on this new way of doing business

The Sooking Simpletons of Climate Coverage

  • Tony Thomas
  • 31st May 2023
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (7)

Peddling falsehoods garnered from careerist green academics, rent-seekers and doom-laden hysterics takes a toll on journalists working the climate beat. The poor dears are stressed out, fearful of the dreadful future they predict, and that is to say nothing of the moral dilemma confronting reporters garlanded for eco-doom stories that just a few short years have exposed as the most utter, fact-free tosh

Climate Modelling: Rubbish In, More Rubbish Out

  • Michael Kile
  • 27th May 2023
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (19)

Bamboozling folk with data or simulations that may, or may not, describe reality can be fun. Astrologers, readers of entrails and other sybills made a lucrative living from it. Likewise today's careerist climate oracles, who long ago conceded the inherent uncertainty of their predictions but still insist neither knowing or understanding the immense intricacies of global weather 'is no longer a responsible justification for delay'

Dead Wrong, Fanatical and Fully Funded

  • Tony Thomas
  • 28th April 2023
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (9)

Climate influencers seem a weird mob at first glance and, upon closer examination, even stranger. Nevertheless, in the grand tradition of the Left, they know how to organise, propagandise and do it mostly with other people's money. How is it that folks with such an addled appreciation of genuine science are so good at the dark arts of political and emotional manipulation?

Energy Vandalism and Impossible Dreams

  • Peter Smith

icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (19)

While private-sector projects must meet financial hurdles, bringing them home is seldom unattainable. The factory can be built. The mine can be developed. The farm can be established. Pie-in-the-sky, heavily subsidised green schemes are quite different animals. If your soaring power bills leave you with any doubt about the current insanity, then the nuts-and-bolts details of Chris Bowen's green fantasies surely will

On Climate, the Media is the Massage

Ever wondered why the most improbable climate scares get reported as gospel? Well, there's a reason -- two, actually. The first has to do with the reigning orthodoxy in mainstream newsrooms, where climate doom is an article of faith. The second is all the money and effort the Climate Council puts into spoon-feeding alarmism to those same true-believer hacks. The spinners are so slick at wholesaling deceit they can't resist boasting about it

Bowen’s Blight, Greens’ Delight, a Nation’s Plight

Just imagine what the courts will do when green and/or indigenous litigants, represented by the likes of the well-funded Environmental Defenders Office (EDO), come armed with the amended Safeguard Mechanism Act and its hard cap on emissions. It will be all over, Red Rover. Meanwhile, get acclimatised to the certainty of energy poverty and all the related deprivations to come
