    Piers Akerman.

    ‘As COP26 wound down, there were flood warnings out for NSW’s Lachlan River, providing even further proof – if any was needed – that the global warmists’ catastrophic predictions are unscientific humbug.

    The heavy rainfalls recorded in areas of South Australia, Victoria and NSW over the past fortnight totally undermine former Australian of the Year and Climate Council chief Tim Flannery’s 2005 predictions that drought conditions would become “permanent in eastern Australia” and that “the rain that comes won’t fill our dams”.

    On Saturday, WaterNSW’s website showed Sydney’s main dam, Warragamba, was filled to 97.8 per cent of capacity and the dams in the greater Sydney catchment were at 94.6 per cent.

    The palaeontologist is still regarded as something of a guru by the unthinking fully paid-up members of the climate cult however, and he and the left-wing Climate Council are go-to commentators on the COP talks for the ABC and the Nine media.

    Last month, Peter FitzSimons, ignored the evidence and asked Flannery whether he felt “tragically vindicated”.

    “Most sensible people will now concede you were right on warning of the dangers of climate change and the denialists were wrong” said the author, best known for the red bandana he used to wear to distinguish himself from the rest of the bizarrely garbed activists.

    In reality, no sensible person could concede that any of Flannery’s doomsday predictions about climate change had any validity.

    Glasgow’s COP26 brought out the false prophets by the thousands and the Nine media and “our” ABC couldn’t get enough of them.

    Outgoing Radio National activist Fran Kelly conducted a long and sympathetic interview with Simon Kofe, Tuvalu’s foreign minister, who had presented a video address to the Glasgow gabfest from a podium where he stood knee-deep in the waters of the Pacific.

    Promoting the notion that Tuvalu is sinking because of global warming has been a constant theme of the Pacific nations’ attempts to blackmail the West to send more cash to their leaders, even though the ABC’s own (rarely used) fact-check department found in December 2018 that Tuvalu’s total land area grew by 2.9 per cent in the four decades to 2014.

    Kelly didn’t mention her own organisation’s findings during her sharing-caring luvvy discussion.

    Instead, she focused on how much money would be needed to bail out Tuvalu in the (unlikely) event its islands sank.

    Like Flannery, Kelly is long on doom but short on facts and the default position of both and all in the global warming activists’ camp is to demand that Western nations suspend the powerhouses of their economies – the coal and gas-fired plants – and inflict brutally high prices for unreliable solar and wind energy on their citizens.

    China, meanwhile, is building more coal-fired plants to power manufacturing, outsourced from the West because energy prices have made it too expensive, to build things in nations that have drunk the green Kool-Aid.

    Activists ignore the science which shows that CO2, which is demonised, makes up 0.04 per cent by volume of the atmosphere and 95 per cent of it comes from natural sources, such as volcanoes and the oceans.

    Humans – whom the Extinction Rebellion mob would like to see become extinct – are responsible for about 0.0016 per cent.

    If anyone at COP26 pointed out that the Canary Islands’ Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma has been spewing the usual toxic gases and some CO2 for six weeks, the comment must have been lost in the screaming from the ill-educated schoolchildren shrieking their support for Greta Thunberg.

    Not only was COP26 a flop like the previous 25 COPs, even the “big” story such as the soft US-China accord was not much more than a recycling of the Obama-Xi deal to ratify the Paris Agreement five years

    But what the heck, COP27 will be held at Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh resort next year, an altogether more pleasant place than Glasgow and COP28 is scheduled to take place in the UAE (not such a great place).

    So, fuel up the private jets, ramp up the rhetoric and strap yourselves in for more crap from the world masters – the global warming catastrophists.’

    Marxism and the Gender Revolution

    The gender revolution is fundamentally Marxist. Whether people are consciously aware of it or not, the root of gender ideology is Marxist, and its gambit is the construction of the egalitarian society through the obliteration of the division of gender. And the gender revolution is another prong in the full-throated attack on the family.

    Hello.

    Klaus and Gates should be on the placards. I’ve seen little except a few WEF ones.

    These singalongs “I am Australian” are nauseating. Most of the crowd have no idea who is running this scamdemic….they don’t. They simply do not know. Anyone thinking the Premiers and CMO’s are calling the shots are ignorant. Is it a fault on their behalf? No, it is not. They just don’t know.

    Ask a person in the street about WEF 201. Sh*t, even dad dismisses it. Love him to bits, but he is clueless. That’s what you get when you rely on the ABC. That is his source for everything. Impossible to have conversation with him about this subject.

    The public are reacting with anger to the Premiers and CHOs. That’s okay. If the Premiers and CHOs did not take orders from Klaus-Gates HQ, we wouldn’t be facing this problem.

    Right now, Aussies don’t have the power to get rid of the great resetters. But they can get rid of any “leaders” in Oz who are following their diktats.

    Steve,

    You are being hard on them. They haven’t had the benefit of being a part of blogs like Catallaxy and learning from what is shared here.

    I am watching the Perth Freedom Rally video right now. I don’t mind the singalongs. If they are realising that what is being done by governments and the medical establishment is wrong, that is the first step. Getting to the whole truth, from here on, will be easy.

    Peter Gleeson right.

    ‘Clive Palmer has his sights set well and truly on the National Party.

    The Queensland billionaire will ramp up political ads against Barnaby Joyce and his team in coming months.

    The campaign will centre on the Nationals being part of a Coalition Government which has committed to net zero emissions by 2050.

    Palmer knows that mining and agriculture will be hardest hit by any “transitioning’’ of jobs to meet those 2050 renewable targets.

    He will spend tens of millions of dollars trying to convince miners and farmers that the National Party is selling them out at a time when they are most exposed.

    For the Nationals, the Palmer strategy – mirrored by Pauline Hanson and Bob Katter – is a massive threat to their ongoing electoral success.

    The reality is that people like Senator Matt Canavan and Resources Minister Keith Pitt will not preside over the demise of these two industries.

    They can’t, and they know it. This is where Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Joyce must use all of their political expertise and skill to ensure Palmer-Hanson-Katter does not cut the National Party’s voting grass.

    Make no mistake, seats based on coal production and farming will determine the outcome of the next election.

    There are about seven or eight coal seats in play. The Labor Party are in trouble in seats around the Hunter as miners desert them because of their radical climate change policy. That’s why seats in Central Queensland and the Hunter swung violently to Morrison and Hanson as they didn’t trust Bill Shorten.

    But with the Coalition agreeing to the 2050 target in Glasgow, miners and farmers are now looking to the politicians who can save their bacon, because coal fired power stations would have to be phased out and vegetation management policy up-ended.

    This is where the Nationals have no choice but to go it alone on climate change. Everybody wants to save the planet, but at what cost to regional communities?

    The problem for Labor, dominated by the Left, is that its climate change policies will kill the bush. Now, it may not have a problem with that because most of its supporters live in the cities.

    But as any politician will tell you, ignore country people at your peril. Labor leader Anthony Albanese might well want to cater to the chardonnay socialists in inner city electorates, but it’s the bush where he will lose the next election.

    Similarly, if the bush turns on Morrison he’s history. The Nationals know this. They also know that the one thing voters want from their elected leaders is conviction.

    For the Nats, Glasgow was a charade. The say the PM rolled the arm over. They also know that politics is about winning and Labor will say and do anything to win.

    They will rely on farmers and miners being reasonable and practical people. They work hard and just get on with it. They vote for the Liberal-National parties because they expect that in times of trouble, they will be there for them.

    The Coalition must today start explaining how they will look after these people, based on the current frenzy around reaching 2050 targets.

    If they don’t do it properly and prove to the bush that they can count on them, they will be punished, and with the inevitability then of a Labor Government, so too will the rest of us.’

    If Canavan and Pitt are serious about protecting mining and agriculture, they need to decide whether they want to stay with a party (Nats) that is in tune with the Libs – zero by 2050.

    Canavan especially, should do as Kelly did, move to the cross bench.
