Facts irrelevant to climate catastrophists
ENERGY and Climate Change Minister Chris “Bonehead” Bowen doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. That’s why he ignores the solid evidence provided by slews of Australian energy experts to jump on the UN’S gravy train and swallow the serially inaccurate forecasts of doom concocted through the manipulation of dodgy modelling.
Incomprehensibly, Bowen delivered an address at the COP27 soiree held in Egypt’s Sharm elSheikh beach resort in a Torres Strait language spoken by fewer than 5000 people . This was virtue-signaling at the mega-teal/green/radical left level, understood by none of the 45,000 attendees except the token handful of Islanders rubbing shoulders with lobbyists and politicians.
Known for its diving, shark attacks and Islamist terrorist attacks, Sharm el-sheikh played host to ecoterrorists this time around and they successfully held the developed world hostage with guilt-ridden Westerners agreeing to pay compensation to Third World developing nations for climate change loss and damage they claim – without any scientific evidence – is caused by humans since the industrial revolution.
The West is up for trillions to nations which bizarrely include China, India and Pakistan, all of which find the cash to support their huge military forces and all of which have managed to fund the research to develop nuclear weapons. Only a
Green, a Teal or a bona fide bonehead like Bowen could possibly think this is a good thing.
First, there is zero evidence that the demonised carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activity are responsible for changes to the climate. The Wall Street Journal’s Gerard Baker noted last week that the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disaster has reported that “weather-related death rates fell dramatically during the past 100 years” and are “about 80 times less frequent today than they were a century ago”.
Gutless politicians from both sides of politics have ignored factual science to avoid the necessary debate about weather. The pronouncements from the true believers in global warming are Manichean, they are like religious edicts specifying just one virtuous path. Their protests are disruptive because, as Roger Hallam, a co-founder of the Extinction Rebellion tribe, said: “The essential element here is disruption. Without disruption, no one is going to give you their eyeballs.”
Unfortunately, our representatives are too lily-livered to lock them up.
Late last week, more than a dozen of the nation’s top scientists and engineers descended upon Canberra to present the clear and rational case for modern nuclear power generation in Australia. The government didn’t want to know, according to one of the organisers of the two-day seminar.
According to most polls, the No.1 issue with voters is the cost of living, not the price of electric vehicles.
As summer advances and punters are told to cut power usage to prevent the inevitable blackouts, the Labor Party may find their Green ideology has killed their electoral chances.
