Doomed Planet

There's a veritable industry of academics raising alarm about how global warming and a polluted, dying planet will leave humanity and the animal kingdom in such a state that cannibalism will be a matter of survival. I'll spurn schoolyard puns and cheap gags except for one, and that by way of good advice: don't give them a big hand

Climate change is commonplace in our daily lives, in the news, even in sermons and always and everywhere in our schools. Here's a thought: what reprimand would suit a principal who bare-face reported all his students to be above the school average. You need to be the climate game to get away with that sort of nonsense

I thought initially that this topic was a bit of fun. But it turns out that entomophagy, as the eating of insects is called, is an essential component of the Western lemmings' race to net-zero. Need it be said that one of the biggest and most enthusiastic lemmings is our very own climate crazies at the CSIRO?

Even if only for the sake of argument you accept the CAGW scare, the warmists' own methodology says we have plenty of time to act. No need for Australia to lead the rest of the world over an energy cliff. It seems that, from the rent-seekers and activists' point of view, the less said about the shaky scientific foundation of CAGW the better

You've probably never heard of Good Energy's green zealots, but they know about you and how much movies affect public perceptions. Hence their billionaire-funded 'cheat sheet' for scriptwriters, which includes exhortations to depict characters having mental health crises over global warming, plastics pollution and the like

Each time a coal power station closes we, and our way of life, become more hostage to the weather, so we hope reality breaks through quickly. It did, at least temporarily, for Chris Minns in deciding NSW taxpayers would keep Eraring open a bit longer. Don't expect such good sense to ruffle Chris Bowen's mad plans

The current 'restructuring' of Australia’s energy grid, will it ultimately produce Goldilocks weather for everyone everywhere and forever? Not a chance! Far more likely is the ongoing grand folly will accelerate as foreign companies and rent-seekers drive the pursuit of 'renewable energy superpower' fantasies

You almost have to admire the nonchalance with which Anthony Albanese tosses off furphies about the alleged cost and difficulty of a transition to nuclear. Given his affection for overseas travel, why not one more globe-girdling jaunt to France, Finland and Canada for an education in the energy security and household savings Australians are denied?

Chris Bowen says Australia should 'stick to the plan' regarding renewables and 'not isolate itself from the rest of the world by embracing nuclear, the dearest form of energy, which would take too long to establish.' That is so far removed from the truth it would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious

Serious questions have to be asked about the silence of meteorologists on wind droughts. At the same time the responsible authorities need be called to account for their failure to check the wind supply before connecting intermittent energy to an increasingly enfeebled grid

Normally, when Chris Bowen is pushing renewables, he'll cite the considered view of Australia's premier scientific body to justify dotting the landscape with solar farms and wind turbines. But not now, not when Peter Dutton is advocating at least seven clean, green, no-emissions reactors. The problem: the boffins think going nuke is a great idea

Filtering out carbon emissions and sequestering them for thousands of years, even millions, is a great idea, says the Australian Academy of Science. Rubbish, responds arch warmist Joelle Gergis, who notes workable capture technologies don't exist and, even if they did, it do wrong by Gaia to deploy them
