The same academics who claim fuel-reduction burning makes the forest more flammable also advocate that, if burning is to be done at all, it should be adjacent to towns and residential settlements.  Urging more of what the 'experts' insist will increase the fire risk of residential areas seems to me verging on the certifiably insane

The latest satellite readings, which track atmospheric temperatures to an altitude of 14kms, demonstrate that Australia has seen no warming in the past 10 years. Haven't heard the good news? That's hardly surprising, as the careers and livelihoods of countless climate 'experts', renewables spruikers and rent-seekers depend on ignoring the blindingly irrefutable

On the strength of not much evidence at all the UN expects the global population to flatten over the decades to come, a presumption at odds with what is happening in sub-Saharan Africa and 'high fertility' nations elsewhere. Inject a little reality and one prospect becomes clear: there is no way poor, teeming countries desperate for energy will join the green West in pinning their hopes on renewables

The University of Tasmania is feeding the Apple Isle’s primary schoolers a classroom diet of apocalyptic scaremongering about global warming, then checking to see how traumatised the deluge of misinformation leaves them. Despite the laughably, just-plain-wrong plethora of doomsday assertions, the ongoing program is rated an 'outstanding' success by its promoters

All of the immense costs and resources going into the hapless, hopeless effort to capture the diffuse and erratic energy of wind and sun, then to somehow store the slippery stuff, are worse than wasted. Where that effort really needs to be invested is in clear thinking, rational analysis and sound policies. We're seeing none of that -- and time is running out

This year, July electricity prices are averaging $350 per megawatt hour, a far cry from $50 back in 2015. With subsidies for renewables leading to the closure of crucial power stations, they crept up to $85 in 2019, which still seems cheap in comparison with the Himalayan ascent toward $400 that has occurred since 2021. This is no way to run a country

The best way for conservatives to fight this battle would have been to push back against the CAGW scam years ago, but that ship has already sailed -- and Scott Morrison’s craven theatrics in Glasgow last year gave it a wet sail. There is, however, another weapon to confront those who would sacrifice prosperity on Gaia's altar: the glaring contradictions in the IPCC's very own 'science'

Neither a 100 per cent renewable electricity system, nor one underpinned by nuclear power, is a realistic option to sustain the grid until well into the 2040s at the earliest, if ever. Consequently, fossil fuels will be part of our electricity system for now and many years to come. Green pieties are one thing, keeping the lights on is quite another

While normal folk go about their daily lives, pay bills, raise kids and service mortgages, your grant-funded catastropharians laud 'the unstoppable momentum' to transform 'the biophysical and emotional foundations of society'. After that, they're off to symposia to discuss the ‘Symbiocene, Planthropocene and Chthulucene’

Contemplate what the midwives of Australia's green transformation admit will be needed to reach net zero -- the wind and solar farms, the giant batteries, networks of additional power pylons and much, much more besides. Now think of a single coal-power station needing no add-ons and delivering sufficient and reliable cheap power. Can’t say we haven’t been warned
