Australia’s Politclowns Need a New Tax to Perpetuate the Climate Racket

Wind turbines in Tasmania are killing the birds, just like everywhere else. The Green scam is now so bad that even the Greens oppose it.

Turncoat & Bowen have joined forces to promote the climate scam. These two climate shysters have cost Australia over $100b .

How are energy-intensive industries in Australia supposed to compete against China when Blackout Bowen deliberately restricts them from using electricity generated from Australian coal — the exact same coal we ship straight to China so their factories can run rings around us?

This insanity has already slaughtered industry after industry in Australia. However, the full economic carnage is being masked over with endless government handouts – all funded by borrowed money.

When those subsidies finally dry up, the remaining businesses will shut their doors for good — leaving future generations crushed under a mountain of debt, with no wealth-creating industries left to generate the money needed to service it. Blackout Bowen, with his reckless stupidity and fanatical Net Zero zealotry, has condemned Australia’s children and grandchildren to hardship, decline, and poverty.

In the same week Labor stood by cutting healthcare access for veterans, secret plans for a new ‘carbon tax’ on all Aussies have been revealed.

Labor is planning on creating a carbon-credit system for fuels, to punish Aussies for using diesel and petrol, or boarding flights.

In their own paper, it states: “modelled approaches would be expected to increase compliance costs for obligated entities to varying degrees as they transition towards low carbon liquid fuels and other eligible compliance pathways.” That means they KNOW this carbon tax will raise the cost of fuel for YOU.

Foreign investors in renewables get a special 15% CGT rate until 2040 because “investment will flow to other countries.”

Australian investors lose the 50% discount for backing Australian businesses and shares. Same capital flight risk. @AlboMP just doesn’t give a damn about Australian ownership or aspiration.

One rule for global capital. Another for the people who actually take the risk here. This is not reform. It’s preference.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The poison pen of international courts

Two years ago the toothless International Court of Justice effectively elevated climate protection into the realm of international human-rights obligations.

The Highest World Blobocrat Court has decreed that a Perfect Climate is a “human right”. Now the whole world could potentially sue everyone else. It’s a game of ideological roulette with unlimited plaintiffs.

The only winners are the lawyers.

The Reef is Fine

After forty years of man made global warming and 1,100 billion tons of CO2 there is better coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef than there was in 1985.

Climate Racket: The Cult Just Won’t Quit

Perhaps we should ‘decarbonise’ the warming loons.

The climate crazy — it’s still with us.

One year ago, the International Court of Justice in The Hague declared that all nations are obligated to protect the sky from greenhouse gas emissions. It’s unfortunate, but climate zealotry stubbornly hangs on. [some emphasis, links added]

The global warming cabal, which is less concerned with climate than abolishing capitalism and advancing their cult, has been showing cracks in recent years.

A little more than a year ago, we noted that “our friend Steven Hayward,” a university professor and incisive thinker, had written “a compelling essay … about ‘The Nadir of the Climate Change Movement.’”

We also chronicled in “Climate Alarm On The Run” parts I and II about the Washington Post decision to cut its climate “reporting” team down to “five lonely reporters” and the elimination of the National Public Radio climate desk, which is “what happens when ‘journalists’ keep reporting about a dead horse.”

“Eventually,” we said, “the public realizes the horse has perished, and there’s nothing left to talk about. Or that there was no horse to begin with.” Continue reading Climate Racket: The Cult Just Won’t Quit

ABC: If a family in Banglatrash sells their daughter, it’s not their fault. It’s ‘climate change’

Zero agency. That’s what they give these people.

If a family in a third world country sells their daughter, it’s not their fault. It’s not their society’s fault, not their moral framework.

It’s your fault, for having air conditioning.

I’ts their ABC, but you’re paying for it.

Climate change becoming a major driver of child marriage across Asia and the Pacific

By Claire Campbell

Runa was 15 when she married a man she had never met.

Cyclone Remal had ripped through her camp in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar region, killing her family’s chickens and ducks, which were the source of both their food and income.

Runa’s mother, who had become the sole income earner after her husband died a year earlier, then lost weeks of labouring work due to the natural disaster.

She could no longer financially support Runa, now 17, and her three brothers.

“She felt she had no choice but to arrange my marriage,” Runa told the ABC.

Twelve million girls are tipped to become child brides this year, according to Plan International.

Child marriage is a global problem across cultures and religions.

It is often inherently linked to gender inequality, poverty, food insecurity, and social norms and practices, including family honour and dowry payments.

Climate change is now believed to be a leading contributor to more frequent and younger nuptials.

“Whenever there is a climate change impact … we see a spike in child marriage,” said Plan International’s Tanushree Soni.

“Financial stress is the trigger.

“The families look to lessen the burden because they don’t consider girls to be part of their own families; they consider girls to be part of their [future] husband’s family. 

“So investing in girls is not a choice they can afford to make.”

While climate change is not believed to be increasing the number of tropical storms worldwide, scientists and meteorologists say a warmer atmosphere and rising sea temperatures and levels are increasing their intensity, and the impact they have on communities.

EU: Aircon verboten to save the planet?

EUnuch’s have different priorities, according to Blackrock Fritz

France’s record heat last week has been linked to around 1,000 deaths of mostly elderly people. Heat danger is a problem being felt across Europe, which has the oldest population of any continent and is also the world’s fastest-warming continent

Still, they reject air conditioning.

“We’re not doing this for us,” she said. “We’re doing this for the future generations.

No kidding.

According to The Telegraph, a resident living in North London was forced to “permanently remove” two air-con units from the back of their home.

Homeowners are being forced to tear out air conditioning from their private properties under climate laws, despite rising temperatures.

Council planning officers ordered residents to remove air-con units over fears they produce too much carbon dioxide, stating they should only be used as a “last resort”.

Europe’s Climate-First Policies Fuel Resistance To Air Conditioning As More Than 1,300 Die In Heat Waves

Europe continues to rely on alternatives to air conditioning even as deadly heat waves claim lives across the continent.  Officials argue that expanding air conditioning is not a long-term solution.

Europe’s Deadly Aversion to Air Conditioning

Tens of thousands die in European summers for want of a technology the rest of the rich world takes for granted

France’s record-breaking heat last week has been linked to about 1,000 deaths, most involving elderly people.

According to World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Europe has recorded more than 1,300 excess heat-related deaths since June 21.

Despite experiencing fewer hot days than many other regions, it also records the highest number of heat-related deaths per capita.

A 2007 study found that air conditioning can reduce heat-related deaths by 75%. Even so, only about 20% of European homes have air conditioning, compared with roughly 90% of homes in the United States.

Rather than expanding air conditioning, many European officials have focused on alternative strategies, including public cooling stations and other measures designed to reduce heat in densely populated historic cities.

Ine Vandecasteele, an urban adaptation expert with the European Environment Agency, said widespread air conditioning is not the preferred solution.

“My honest response is I don’t think that should be the solution anywhere,” Vandecasteele told CBS News.

“It is an immediate response, which can support essentially those who may be vulnerable in hospitals, or in very short term can help. But in the longer term, what happens is, installing more air conditioning actually emits more heat into our environment, so it will actually increase the speed of warming.”

Higher energy costs have also discouraged broader adoption of air conditioning across much of Europe.

Italy has taken a different approach than many of its European neighbors.

According to the National Institute of Statistics, about 56% of Italian homes had air conditioning as of 2024.

European Union data also show Italy accounts for roughly one-third of the bloc’s electricity consumption for air conditioning.

Italian officials have also distributed wearable devices in Rome to monitor elderly residents, who face the greatest risk during periods of extreme heat.

Public attitudes toward air conditioning also differ from those in the United States. A recent survey in France found that one in six respondents said they would rather endure the heat than increase air conditioning use for environmental reasons.

Vandecasteele said she was not surprised by those findings. “We’re not doing this for us,” she said. “We’re doing this for the future generations.”

Deputy Mayor of Paris sez “U.S. is Responsible For Climate Change”

We used to call it ‘summer’.

Now they call it ‘climate change’ when the sun shines and blame the US for it.

The controversy began after American tourists and social media users criticized France for the lack of air conditioning in many hotels, homes and buildings while temperatures climbed above 104 degrees.

Europe Faces the Summer With a Lot of Climate Panic and No A/Cs

Air conditioning torn from homes under net zero clampdown

Climate change regulations prioritised despite soaring temperatures

Planning inspectors working for Camden council said there was “no justification” for the air-con units and that they failed to comply with the local authority’s so-called “cooling hierarchy”.

Europe’s climate policies (to battle non-existent “Global Warming”) lead to record heat wave deaths as AC remains scarce.

Then, Paris Deputy Mayor, West Indian Audrey Pulvar, released a lengthy statement blaming the United States for the deadly heat wave over France the past week. France’s Leftist politicians are pushing the globalist’s warming fraud and blaming us for it. But really, they hate us ’cause they ain’t us. They did it to themselves.

France has a hot summer because of … USA

Or something….

Jo Nova:

What is this global heating? Are they trying to say “climate change” and missed?

Flossie Boyd, of Global Witness, said: “It’s frightening to think of teachers and pupils trying to work and learn in swelteringly hot classrooms. This heatwave is a reminder of why we need climate adaptation now – to cool down our schools, and keep children safe.

Frankly, it’s amazing Australian children were not vaporized every summer in the first 150 years here without air conditioning. We could have lost the first five generations.

It was never about the climate

The warming was never the issue. The issue was always the revolution.

Why haven’t you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere?

Why is it always the US or capitalism messing up the environment?

Why don’t they show up at all when China is a bigger threat to clean air than any US city?

The answer is obvious, but I’ll say it.

It Was Never About The Climate

The protesters used climate change as a hook, but their ultimate goal was always more nefarious

It was never about the climate but rather capitalism or the US.

Check this out:

In 2024, climate activists in New York City protested alongside anti-Israel protesters at a rally headlined “Climate Justice Means Free Palestine.”

Last year, climate change celebrity icon Greta Thunberg tried to storm Israel by sea on a flotilla protesting the country’s war in Gaza, yelling “Free! Free! Palestine!” when she was refused entry.

And, last week, activists from CodePink, a far-left feminist activist group that has received funds from an American expatriate, Neville Roy Singham, living in Shanghai, took a break from their rallies supporting the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Cuba Communist Party to circulate a video on Instagram, attacking a Utah data center project backed by investor Kevin O’Leary.

That’s a busy bunch protesting against the West.

Maybe someone should tell them that the clean air in Cuba is due to a collapse of industrial activity.

Or we can always remind them of how they treat gays in Palestine or women in general.

As the article points out, these marches were always about hating the West and what we stand for.

So don’t be fooled by the slogans or some well-meaning people showing up to protest.

The root of all of this is hatred of the West and our individual freedoms.

Is This the End of the Climate Racket?

Angus Taylor refuses to quit the Paris Agreement….

Alex Antic doesn’t like Paris either

Net Zero split the Coalition, now it could split Conservatives

Calling the Paris Agreement ‘just a piece of paper’ is a mistake that will haunt the Coalition, possibly all the way to defeat.

Whoever war-gamed this phrase to side-step the hypocrisy of dropping Net Zero from the conversation without actually unpicking it from policy, has made a strategic mistake. For the life of me, I cannot understand why it was done except, perhaps, as a negotiation between irreconcilable factions.

The Paris Agreement is the central mechanism responsible for Net Zero economics.

Even with taxpayers keeping them afloat, green energy shares keep dropping. Investors know the UK economy & the public can’t take much more. Mad Ed’s UN demanded net zero crusade was never affordable or practical.

‘Complete misnomer’: Liberal Senator Alex Antic derides Coalition’s refusal to pull out of Paris Agreement

A Liberal Senator has derided the Coalition’s position on the Paris Agreement just days after Opposition Leader Angus Taylor dismissed the need to withdraw from the climate treaty.

A Liberal Senator has derided the Coalition’s position on the Paris Agreement, claiming it is a “complete misnomer” to suggest the international climate treaty is “just a piece of paper”.

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor dismissed the need to pull out of the Paris Agreement on Monday, with Nationals leader Matt Canavan also walking away from his past stance to dismiss quitting the agreement as a “side quest”.

But South Australian Senator Alex Antic rejected the stance on Friday, telling Sky News host Rowan Dean that Australia “shouldn’t be in it”.

“We should walk out. It’s as simple as that. We should do what the US have done,” Senator Antic said.

“Because … it does have real effects.”

Liberal Senator Alex Antic has derided the Coalition’s position on the Paris Agreement, claiming it is a “complete misnomer” to suggest the international climate treaty is “just a piece of paper”. 

Senator Antic said the governments were often playing down the significance of “a range of international treaties” that clearly had an impact on domestic law.

“There’s another whole argument here about the external affairs power in the Constitution, which I will not bore everybody with,” he said.

“But they do have real-world force in the domestic market because they do sometimes oblige countries to legislate in order to meet their requirements domestically.

“So it’s a complete misnomer that the Paris agreement is just a piece of paper.” Continue reading Is This the End of the Climate Racket?

Will you give up your pet to “save the planet”?

Climate retard Monique Ryan thinks it’s great to charge us protection money for the climate racketeers at the UN & the billionaires who destroy our countryside with windmills & solar panels.

Interest Rate Climate Porn attacks Australia

Right now, interest rates are a hot topic, so bingo, Climate Change causes that too:

Henceforth and verily, a witless economic model stacked on top of a skillless scientific one says that eating beef steaks makes the interest rate rise. But, don’t worry, if you spend thousands buying heat pumps, windmills and EVs from Matt Kean’s friends, you’ll pay less on the mortgage (trust us) and Wollemi Capital, who Matt Kean works for, will make more money.

Inaction to force up rates, says Climate Change Authority’s Matt Kean

Matt Kean is the “fundraiser” for a team dedicated to profiting from Climate subsidies — it’s his job to try to scare you out of your cash. How else will Wollemi Capital make money?

One study of 20,000 people from 23 nations found that men ate more meat than women nearly everywhere. And when men and women had more freedom and wealth to choose whatever they wanted, the gender gaps grew even larger. In poor countries, presumably, the men would like to eat more meat but can’t afford to. Does anyone care about those men?

Net Zero Spain Leans on Nuclear, Gas to Keep Lights On After Historic Blackout

Spain is using more nuclear and natural gas in place of the renewables it vaunted before last month’s historic blackout, but still hasn’t said what started the outage.

Nobody believes the Experts

Four thousand climate scientists have cried about climate change on TV. Weather maps are red-hot. And every fire, flood and dry weekend is caused by climate change, yet somehow,  half the country doesn’t want to pay a cent to stop these catastrophes and most of the other half just want to pay one or two dollars a week, which is practically nothing — not even a coffee.  It’s so low it might be “go-away” money — as in, they hope the pollster will go away and stop asking more questions about climate change. None of these people take carbon emissions seriously and this is 90% of the country.

The IPA asked 1,027 Australians how much they would personally be willing to pay for the nation to reach Net zero by 2050, and half of them said, nothing.  Another quarter said “$50 a year” which is one pitiful dollar a week.  Most of the rest said “$2” a week, which leaves barely 7% of people ticking the boxes $500 or more per year, which everyone is already paying and has been paying for years. They just don’t know it, because the cost was hidden in their electricity bills.

Deception and lies — the only way the government can get more renewables

The Labor Party  was supposed to tell the whole world their 2035 renewables target in February, but they knew the voters would hate it, so they hid it until after the election. If Chris Bowen thought the voters wanted more renewables spending, obviously, he would have said so to win more votes.

As a part of the sacred Paris Agreement Australia was supposed to announce new Nationally Determined Commitment every five years. That deadline was late February. The world is bursting into flames around us, but the UN didn’t mind if the Labor Party were late, and hid their intentions, and nor did the Greens, or the “Climate Change Authority”. They all sat silent because they all know the voters don’t want it. Ipso Fabricato, all of them serve “The Blob”, not the voters.

Climate Change was virtually invisible during the election, yet the dishonorable Chris ‘Blackout’ Bowen now suddenly says the ‘silent majority’ support him.

At last: the Climate Racket Comes Crashing Down….

“Climate change” is a welfare fund for foreign and domestic NGOs, including those whose funds end up right back in the back pockets of extortionists—members of the U.S. Congress.

‘GOOD RIDDANCE!’ — President Trump: United Nations’ Lead Climate Committee Admits Projections Were Wrong

President Donald Trump criticized Democrats on Saturday for pushing “Climate Change” fears and said the United Nations’ (U.N.) leading climate committee admitted its projections were off the mark.

In a post on his Truth Social, Trump wrote “GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that ‘Climate Change’ is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!”

“For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs. Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he concluded:

What’s happening in Holland?

In the “tolerant” Netherlands public figures dissenting from the leftist consensus are subjected to vilification, threats and murder. Fortuyn was assassinated in 2002, Theo Van Goch in 2004, Ayaan Hirsi Ali had to leave in 2005, Gert Wilders lives under protection for two decades

The jig is up for the global warming hoax.

Even the UN’s IPCC has admitted that the assumptions upon which liberals base their hysterical prognostications of doom are “implausible.” But it looks like word has yet to reach northern Europe. In Holland, cities have been banning advertisements for meat so as not to offend the global climate.

Denmark’s largest city is taking the next predictable step by beginning to ban its consumption.

Typically of progressives, they will ban meat incrementally. Also typically, they are starting with those least able to push back. Copenhagen’s municipal guidelines call for nursing home residents to be limited to 2.8 ounces of beef, lamb, or veal per week.

Nazis and communists have always thought the sick and elderly were useless.

As the New York Post notes, Continue reading What’s happening in Holland?
