They are all wrong

-

GRETA Thunberg and Joseph Stalin have both been on Time magazine’s cover, but the similariti­es don’t end there.

Stalin’s preferred scientist was Trofim Lysenko, who was hopelessly wrong and caused millions of Russian deaths.

Thunberg’s preferred scientists are the UN-IPCC, who are hopelessly wrong and could cause millions of Western deaths.

John Pratt (CP, 14/12) cites the UNIPCC’s “COP25”, which introduced a report ranking Australia 56th out 61 countries for “climate protection performanc­e”. China was 30th.

Australia produces 1.08 per cent of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions, China produces 29.34 per cent. But we’re worse? Yeah, whatever.

We’re short of dams, pay too much for electricit­y, and have too much bushfire fuel because we trusted the UN and its wrongologi­sts. That has to stop.
