I concluded a book in 1996 by pondering what might be needed to respond to the threat of climate change, which I accepted as a given. Then, over time, I began to note climate science's reliance on fallacious arguments and its advocates' wild-eyed schemes. Now, to crown this litany of folly, we are urged to help the planet reach carbon neutrality. Well it can't be done, it's as simple as that

If the topic were anything else, research suggesting a looming catastrophe might not be as bad as first predicted would be welcome news indeed. Yet questioning any aspect of the catastropharian climate creed is the eighth deadly sin. 'Deniers' are sub-human, needing to be silenced, fired, harassed and ridiculed

In October 2018 Parks Australia banned public access to the […]

A third of all emissions in a given year are still in the atmosphere a century later, and a fifth are still there in a thousand years. This means it is total emissions over time that really matter and getting to zero by 2050 is relatively unimportant. But don't expect the green fan boys and girls of the mainstream media to grasp and report that simple truth

One of the many astute observations in Michael Shellenberger's refreshing 'Apocalypse Never' explains why the big oil and gas companies have made common cause with promoters of renewables. They 'know perfectly well that batteries can’t back up the grid. The places integrating large amounts of solar and wind … are relying more and more on natural gas plants'

Wind turbines and birds do not mix, and the impact on raptor species is particularly concerning. Wedge-tailed eagles, for example, take up to six years to reach breeding age and generally produce only one chick a year. When even Bob Brown can grasp the threat, why are we building more of them?

The point is not that solar should not be considered, but that it should be considered, warts and all, alongside coal, nuclear and hydro with all their drawbacks. Too often, renewables' drawbacks and deficiencies are glossed over, not the least of these being that are unlikely ever to meet global energy needs

There is mounting pressure on warmist researchers to come up with arguments, if not evidence, that will stand up in court. As climate models continue to get it wrong, often spectacularly so, the carpetbaggers' various lawsuits are in dire jeopardy, but that doesn't mean they won't stop trying

At a February 2000 press conference, the first man to […]
