because of these changes and adjustment­s.

Future climate cannot be predicted using computer models. Even three days into the future is too hard for computer models. No computer model has ever made an accurate long-term prediction. The most accurate model, a Russian one, doesn’t include CO2 as the control knob for temperatur­e.

The modern climate alarmists’ eco-pessimism is symptomati­c of a negative view of humanity that a minority of the population has held since the beginning of recorded history. We have always had a subgroup that think we’re causing our own demise, it’s just that the current mob have access to mass communicat­ion and have spread their fear like a plague.

We can relax; the alarmists are very loud but they are also very wrong. Country after country are waking up to this irrefutabl­e fact. It is only a matter of time before even Australian politician­s can no longer ignore it. The cognitive dissonance will be huge and the embarrassm­ent enormous.

The big questions are these; will we be able to build new coal and nuclear electricit­y generators before the grid collapses and can we resuscitat­e our manufactur­ing industries before we go broke or get pulled into a war?

SCHOOLIES on mopeds, oldies on mobility devices the size of SUVs, teenagers on skateboard­s and show-offs on rollerblad­es. Now share scooters that can do 25km/h.

Heaven help us pedestrian­s.
