If your model's initial assumptions are incorrect, how can you rely on it to make any prediction worth the effort of consulting? Not that peddling shoddy science bothers the swollen ranks of climateers. And why should they fret? Climate fear is a growth industry, meaning careers will advance so long as their rubbish in/garbage out findings are questioned

A retracted paper requiring four years to correct, a fervent belief that capitalism is Gaia's sworn enemy, a bristling indignance that climate realists are still allowed to argue their case and a tactician's grasp of mass media's powers of persuasion -- just add grants, lots of grants, and what you get is climate scientist and scary-book author Joelle Gergis

The 59-page UNHRC Committee’s Decision condemning Australia for taking inadequate care in protecting Torres Strait Islanders from climate change is a fascinating document. Here for all to see are the tricks of the climateers' trade: the turgid rhetoric, quasi-legal tone, dodgy conclusions, circular arguments and, laid bare, the green bullies' agenda and tactics

An entirely revised definition of RE is needed, one that sees the acronym stand not for renewable energy but 'reason and evidence'. Sadly, given the vested interests, it is too much to hope green policies will be abandoned before load-shedding, blackouts and grid collapses demonstrate the modern world cannot be powered by sunbeams and summer breezes

Convinced of their importance to the planet, three warmist academics are calling on colleagues to stop producing climate research. This, so they believe, will persuade governments to finally, you know, do something. While such a result seems highly unlikely, the notion of academia's grant-fed alarmists falling silent holds a definite appeal

If you've not heard of Italian physicist Gianluca Alimonti, no surprise there. As the lead author of a study that rates the so-called climate crisis as so much overblown nonsense, his is not the kind of news welcomed by vendors of green snake oil, rent-seekers and the climate hysterics in their thrall. So here for the record are some of his team's findings

The jaw-dropping thing about the Australian Academy of Science is that is supposedly devoted to the the unbiased pursuit of truth, but you would never guess that from the things its oh-so-woke fellows and execs get up to. Formal pledges to advance 'diversity', reams of nonsense about a dying Reef, Aborigines and climate -- this and worse, all underwritten by taxpayers

Having worked for Anthony Albanese, Kim Beazley and Bill Shorten, the Australian Academy of Science's CEO, ardent warmist Anna-Maria Arabia, has the contacts to chill the hearts of those who still believe in free speech and unfettered scientific debate. The Academy's latest push: getting Big Tech to suppress all information contrary to the narrative of climate alarmism

It’s nice knowing Quadrant’s readership girdles the planet, not so much what happened to the Canadian MP who tweeted a link to one of our recent reports, based on satellite readings, that Australia has seen no warming whatsoever in the past 10 years. He is now a former Liberal, having been expelled from the party for his deviation from alarmist orthodoxy

When the full impact of net zero hits we can expect a new category of 'premium consumers' – platinum users, gold users, some name like that -- who will pay extra to be guaranteed reliable power. It is ordinary families who will endure cold showers and meals cooked over primus flames. Those well-heeled Teal ladies and their enthusiasts aren't the sort to suffer with the hoi poloi
