Consequences mount after 40 years of climate fables

AFTER 40 years of scare-stories, here’s a list of the only “disastrous consequences of climate change” observed so far.

1. Exorbitant energy prices.

2. A weakened and less reliable electricity grid.

3. Reduced national wealth from the loss of manufacturing jobs, skills and equipment.

4. Less capacity to feed ourselves because potential irrigation water is flushed out to sea unused.

5. Enormous and unnecessary additional costs for mining, (our main export income).

6. The dumbing-down of our academic institutions to accommodate a failed hypothesis as factual.

7. A handicapping of the nation’s ability to adapt to any changed conditions, climate or otherwise.

8. The vast opportunity costs of being distracted by a hoax.

9. A significant loss of national sovereignty to unelected foreign bureaucrats.

10. Being lectured by clueless zealots on concepts well beyond their capacity to understand.

We’re desperately in need of a Trump-like leader to call time on this rubbish.

Recently, climate carpetbaggers met in Bangkok and admitted the UN’s Paris climate accord has stalled.

Then Prime Minister Scott Morrison announces we’ll be adhering to the Paris agreement that Turnbull signed.

Turnbull self-destructed over Paris and the Liberals are down an MP – but they’ve learned nothing.

They have more loyalty to a failed UN wealth redistribution scheme than to their own voters.

The climate carpetbaggers want Western money and technology transferred to the third world.

The third world uses it to build lots and lots of CO2-emitting coal-fired power stations.

But “climate change” means we must close ours down and replace them with unreliables.

The Liberals need to decide who they work for – Australia or the UN?
