Blackout Bowen to set up ‘misinformation unit’ to silence warming critics

Climate shysters are determined to perpetuate the scam until the bitter end.

Chris Bowen’s department has launched a cross-agency working group to fight back against “climate misinformation” it claims is thwarting the nation’s troubled green energy transition, as the Climate Change Authority led by Matt Kean stands accused of colluding with activists on a “stealth carbon tax”.

Amid anxiety in industry ranks that federal Labor could crackdown on Fuel Tax Credits used by miners, farmers and builders, a CCA insights paper has revealed Mr Bowen’s Department of Climate Change and Energy is leading a government-wide push to hit back against those undermining Labor’s climate and energy policy.

The department, when contacted for comment about the working group, cited “strong and persistent public concern about the spread of climate and energy misinformation” presented to a Greens-proposed and Greens-led Senate inquiry earlier this year.

The CCA said the new working group could: establish a “more collaborative approach to addressing climate misinformation” by developing a shared message framework across agencies; translate technical policy into practical explanations; use audience insight and misinformation monitoring to identify risks; and establish a “whole-of-government rapid-­response approach to climate and energy misinformation”.

The insights paper – “Misinformation: A climate policy risk” – said climate misinformation was “part of a broader challenge around information integrity that affects many policy areas … ­effective responses require co-­ordination across government, with different agencies contributing expertise, insights and actions within their respective mandates”.

The CCA paper, which warned that climate misinformation was “already affecting how climate policy is delivered in Australia”, identified “common narratives” fuelling “uncertainty about climate policies, technologies and solutions”. These included mis­information narratives linked to “cost-of-living, energy prices and reliability, jobs, regional impacts, biodiversity and environmental impacts, whether Australia’s action matters”.

The Department of Climate Change and Energy said it was “committed to continually improving the way it communicates and providing clear factual information that is accessible to all Australians.

“The department’s communication efforts are dedicated to helping Australians to understand the facts about our energy system and the impact of climate change – so people can understand and engage with the energy transition to improve social licence and ensure community concerns are heard and considered,” a spokesman said.

As the Albanese government seeks to reclaim control over its renewables and climate change agenda, the CCA this week held a briefing call with industry representatives and groups who have advocated that fuel tax credits be abolished or wound back.

The Nepal Disaster

By Jo Nova

The Guardian says “Prepare for more Climate Linked Disasters“, warning of impending doom that they know how to prevent, just as witchdoctors have for thousands of years. Their fortune-tellers can stop these tragedies if you give them enough grant money, pay a tithe to their pet solar and wind industries, and vote for their favourite politicians…

Already the Climate Porn industry is using the ghastly death and destruction in Nepal to sell Net Zero and Socialism, even though landslides have always happened, and there was a far worse one in 1190AD.

“This is the cost of not acting in the face of the Climate Crisis“, says Sunil Acharya, International Climate Policy and Just Transition Specialist in Kathmandu, whatever that is. But who could blame him. With a job title like that, he wouldn’t be doing his job if he didn’t put out a plea now in light of the awful events this week. I’d like to ask him just how many solar panels we need to install  to stop these catastrophes?

The “Hockey Stick” Shyster is Back!

Climate scientist  alarmist Michael Mann argued in an interview posted Friday that Senate Democrats should face a litmus test requiring them to support expanding the Supreme Court.

Europe’s only just clocked that Trump was right — and after all those warnings, the Brussels bureaucrats now want to make it up to the US President.
Remember when everyone laughed at Trump for picking cheap energy over green fairy tales?


For years Brussels took the mick out of him for warning that ditching nuclear, banning coal and bowing down to Russian gas was basically suicide.

Now look. Germany’s cutting green subsidies and quietly shelving its boiler ban, the EU’s watering down its carbon tax, and even the Burnham lot are having a rethink on North Sea oil. Tables have turned, haven’t they?

You can’t power a country on unicorn farts, can you. You need gas. You need oil. You need good old dirty coal and about 30 proper nuclear reactors — the sort that actually work when the wind isn’t blowing
