There’s a message to parties that ignore their base: EU Election Poll Has Farage’s Brexit Party Beating Labour and Tories COMBINED Jack Montgomery, Breitbart New polling for the upcoming European Parliament elections shows another astonishing surge in support for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, while the governing Conservatives have crashed to fourth place on just 11 per cent. The Opinium poll of 2,004 people, conducted online between the 8th and 10th of May, showed support for Mr Farage’s weeks-old party up 6 points to 34 per cent, more than Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour — down seven points to 21 per cent — and Theresa May’s Conservatives — down three points to just 11 per cent — combined. The remainers have their own splinter party… at 3%. Change UK (CUK), comprised of EU loyalist defectors from Labour and the Conservatives, and intended as Remain diehards’ answer to the Brexit Party, is also struggling, down four points to a mere 3 per cent. The lack of CUK support is hardly surprising since they are competing with the Tories and Labor which both apparently stand for remainers. Brilliant Advert This is the greatest Party Election Broadcast ever done. […] George Clooney, climate smearist, is here with a slick advert to train Useful Idiots on what they should say. George explains that because science can cure diseases, make phones work, and fly planes, therefore, the equilibrium climate sensitivity of carbon dioxide is 3.3 degrees Celcius. Ergo prompter sock post hoc, and all that. Sure. Who’s the dumbcluck? You might almost think Clooney is doing a parody of climate schmucks: “Tragically, the volumes of knowledge gathered over centuries are now threatened by an epidemic of dumbf***ing idiots saying dumbf***ing things.” Exactly, while tens of thousands of scientists protest about the death of science, Clooney is working to make it happen. Some people just fail their science tests at school, others make a global informercial. Skip Jimmy and jump to George at 54 sec: United to Defeat Untruthful Misinformation and Support Science, aka UDUMASS The brand name “Science” was ripe for stealing, and if you can pronounce “subatomic particle” you can do it too. Welcome to the drone-age where thousands of 13 year old girls are impressed by a movie star who knows how to swear. h/t To Climate Depot 9.6 out of 10 based on 64 ratings … 9 out of 10 based on 23 ratings How much do Australians have to pay to change the global weather? …. First, Bill Shorten called those who ask “dumb”. Then when that was described as his Hillary “Deplorables” moment he changed the insult from “dumb” to “liar”. Here’s Bill Shorten in the third leaders debate: “I accept the cost question is not a dumb question, …it’s a dishonest question. The idea that you only look at the investment in new energy without looking at the consequences of not acting on climate change is a charlatans argument, it’s a crooked charlatans argument.” -Bill Shorten, May 8th: iview, 2 mins 30 sec., Do you want to discuss the cost benefit ratio of a $500 billion dollar scheme the Labor Party is proposing to stop droughts and hold back the tide? Shorten doesn’t have an answer, instead he claims you shouldn’t even ask the question. You, sir, are a conniving cheat and a liar. The definition of Charlatan: A charlatan (also called a swindler or mountebank) is a person practicing quackery or some similar confidence trick or deception in order to obtain money, fame or other advantages via some […] May 11th, 2019 | Tags: Australian Politics, Logic & Reason | Category: Global Warming |  Print This Post | | Once again, bad luck for renewables. The AEMO put out their report for the first quarter of 2019. Despite a massive growth in renewables, power prices are still not falling as predicted. The report highlights that record high spot wholesale electricity prices were set in Victoria and South Australia, and nearly in everywhere else as well: • Victoria and South Australia’s quarterly average spot wholesale electricity prices of $166/MWh and $163/MWh were their highest on record. • Victoria and New South Wales recorded their highest underlying energy price on record, while Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania recorded their seconded highest energy prices on record. These record highs were not just billion dollar price spikes, but the actual underlying energy prices as well. Looks like a trend here: Wholesale electricity prices, NEM, Australia, Q1, 2019 | Click to enlarge. The news gets reported but somehow coal and heat get the blame? Record power bills in NSW, Vic Perry Williams, The Australian Power prices in NSW and Victoria soared to their highest level on record in the first quarter of 2019, with the jump blamed on high coal and gas tariffs and searing […] May 10th, 2019 | Tags: Electricity Cost, Renewable Energy | Category: Cost, Energy, Global Warming, Grids, Renewable, Solar Power, Wind Power | Print This Post | | Where money goes, jobs follow. Unbeknowst to 99% of Australians, we already have an emissions trading scheme. Thank Malcolm Turnbull and Clive Palmer. Soon, Australians are likely to be sending real money overseas and getting back paper certificates at prices set by the EU. The legislation was snuck through just before Christmas 2015, buried under the name “Safeguard Mechanism”. It cost about $7m in the first year. But sits ticking, ready to blow-up into a billion-dollar monster any day. If Labor is elected, it won’t matter whether it has Senate control or not, the minister can just “press a button”, change the caps, and lo, the money will flow to foreigners for certificates based on intentions about atmospheric nullities — for emissions they might have made but didn’t. We’re paying to change the global weather. We could be the stupidest rich nation on Earth. But really, we’re just not paying attention. The 35 billion dollars we will spend on these useless, fraud–prone certificates is $35 billion we are taking out of the Australian labor market, or not spending on medicine, books or holidays in Bali. Angus Taylor, Minister for Energy, has noticed that this means $10b less tax will […] … 9.2 out of 10 based on 17 ratings Suddenly there’s a whole lot of independent candidates running in Australia looking to copy the Kerryn Phelps success in taking the blue-ribbon conservative seat of Wentworth. They all say they are independent, but they are all sworn to climate action and GetUp supports most if not all of them. So if and when they say they’ll support a Liberal National Coalition government, ask yourself if GetUp is being fooled, or are Australian voters? New party is born, Abbott says, as go-it-alone candidates join forces: Brad Norington and Alice Workman, The Australian “If they band together to promote their cause, they’ve effectively created a new political party,” Mr Abbott said. “It’s a climate change party — it’s essentially a small-‘g’ green party. But because in seats like these the Greens would not get elected, they’re pretending to be something else in the hope of removing Coalition members of parliament.” “It’s absolutely crystal clear in this electorate: vote Steggall, get Shorten. And around the country: vote independent, get Labor,” he said. “All of their protestations to the contrary are bunkum, absolutely bollocks, and the fact that GetUp is supporting nearly all of them, I […] Two different models predict two totally different futures. On the left, catastrophic extinction. On the right, happy bats. Click to enlarge Yesterday a UN supercommittee of 145 scientists from 50 countries declared that one million species are set for extinction. The same day, ten other scientists published a paper pointing out that most modelers forget to allow for genetic variation and thus overestimate the extinction rate. (It’s like they’re modelling the World of Clones – take one small study, pretend they’re all the same — extrapolate globally.) Have a look at the big difference in model outcomes in figure 1 (right). As I keep saying, 500 million years of brutal climate change means almost every species carries around an industrial tool-kit of handy genetic tricks. Matz et al estimated corals already have the genes to survived another 250 years of projected IPCC catastrophe (in the unlikely event that it happens). Liew et al showed corals even have epigenetic tricks as well as genetics ones. Another group showed when corals are heated something like 74 different genes are activated — often genes that we don’t even know what they’re there for. My favourite all time Global Adaptability Prize goes to […] May 8th, 2019 | Tags: Evidence, Extinction, Genetics | Category: Biology, Genetics, Global Warming | Print This Post | | A baby-IPCC of biology has just been born The new 145-expert-committee has just uttered its first words, and the headlines are Hollywood-apocalyptic: A million species face extinction. Daddy-UN is proud. Nature is in its worst shape in human history, UN report says Nature is in more trouble now than at any other time in human history, with extinction looming over one million species of plants and animals, scientists said Monday in the UN’s first comprehensive report on biodiversity. Naturally, these are estimates from unverified models that count species we haven’t even discovered yet. This is truly a scare-based-on-air, except air is real and has weight, and this isn’t that substantial. Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, explains how vaporous this really is: “Since species extinction became a broad social concern, coinciding with the extinction of the passenger pigeon, we have done a pretty good job of preventing species extinctions.” Moore bluntly mocked species extinction claims made by biologist Edward O. Wilson from Harvard University. Wilson estimated that up to 50,000 species go extinct every year based on computer models of the number of potential but as yet undiscovered species in […] May 7th, 2019 | Tags: Extinction, United Nations (UN) | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | Friday April 19th set more records than anyone realized. Not only was it the earliest recorded snowfall at Bluff Knoll and WA, but it was also the coldest ever April day in Albany and many other towns in south-west Western Australia. It may also be the largest single day temperature mystery I’ve ever seen in the official “raw” data. Days like the 19th are extremely unusual in Western Australia — it’s a state that often doesn’t get any snow all year and when it does, the length of the entire snow season is measured in hours. So you might think the million-dollar-a-day Bureau of Meteorology would be paying extra attention. Instead it appears they have lost that day’s data in Albany, despite having two thermometers there to record it. One station is in the city itself and there’s an official “expert” ACORN station at the airport about 10km away. Luckily Chris Gillham, unpaid volunteer, was watching the live half hour observations roll in at and saw that thermometers at the airport recorded a maximum of only 10.4°C at 11am that day, which he remarks is the lowest April maximum the BOM has ever recorded there. Strangely, the 10.4°C seems to […] May 5th, 2019 | Tags: Adjustments to data, BOM, Cooling & cold snaps, Gillham (Chris), Western Australia (WA) | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | … 9.6 out of 10 based on 19 ratings The Climate Cult wears the Fake Badge of Science, but when people don’t agree with them, they give up persuasion and just throw insults and eggs. Yesterday Dr Brian Fisher’s home was targeted after Simon Holmes a Court (son of one of the wealthiest men in Australia once) published Dr Fisher’s personal details on twitter. Dr Fisher used to manage ABARE — The Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics. He’s also been an IPCC reviewer, and served under the Hawke, Keating and Howard governments as a chief adviser on climate policy. He released modelling of costs of both Labor and Liberal climate proposals in February, accusing both sides of politics of “engaging in a dishonest debate“. Climate economist Brian Fisher’s home egged Rosie Lewis, The Australian An unnerved Brian Fisher is considering walking away from future independent economic modelling after his analysis of Labor’s climate policy led to his family home being egged when prominent clean energy activist Simon Holmes a Court posted his address online. The managing director and chairman of BAEconomics, who has worked as a bureaucrat for Labor and Coalition governments, told The Australian yesterday it appeared “extremely difficult” to have rational, […] May 3rd, 2019 | Tags: Australian Politics, Bullying, Sacked, Witch hunt | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | In a win for the Summer Fashionthink Parade, the UK Parliament has declared a Climate Emergency It’s has all the legal meaning of a Chastity vow, has no scientific definition and was not voted on. It’s purely symbolic — as such its main role is to add social pressure on weak minded M.P’s and be a shot-in-the-arm for green-group fundraising. It’s a PR achievement, a worthy footnote in Marketing 101, but what it isn’t, is democratic, rational or the voice of the people. This is what you get when you let 16 year olds dictate national policy. What does it mean? Whatever you want: What is a climate emergency? Prof Chris Turney (of the $2.4m Antarctic stuck-ship fame). While there is no precise definition of what constitutes action to meet such an emergency, the move has been likened to putting the country on a “war footing”, with climate and the environment at the very centre of all government policy, rather than being on the fringe of political decisions. Nearly half a million Britons died in World War II. So far, man-made climate change has killed no one. The worst storm in British history was three hundred […] Bill Shorten wants us to give up cheap electricity because it’s bad for our health. History will show he’s the guy from the ’70s telling us to give up eggs for thirty years for no good reason at all. Renewables are the margarine of electricity grids: artificial goods propped up by good intentions. They both fail at high temperatures and were Generally Recognised As Safe — when no one had done any studies. But trans-fats causes heart attacks, and artificial transitions cause poverty. Eating vegetable oils with no cholesterol sounded good at the time. Just like “free wind” and “free solar” sounds like a free lunch, but turns out to make the whole system chaotically inefficient and horribly expensive. We pay less for fuel but more for capital, wages, infrastructure, stabilizers, and storage. Free wind and solar are the fake diet foods of the 21st century. This is Bill trying to explain why we don’t need to mention any numbers. Saving the planet like giving up Big Macs Andrew Burrell, The Australian Having repeatedly dodged questions about the actual cost of Labor’s grand environmental plan, the Opposition Leader yesterday dismissed all the fuss, likening his emissions-reduction […] Jo Nova, speaking, keynote.

Website | Facebook Page | Facebook Event | Twitter Page | 9.7 out of 10 based on 29 ratings The Climate Council (the rebadged Climate Commission) has launched a 60 page cherry picked list of one-eyed, self serving conspiracies and half-truths subtly called CLIMATE CUTS, COVER-UPS AND CENSORSHIP. The headlines: “Federal government accused of ‘false’ climate claims” [Newscorp] It doesn’t matter how much money Australian’s pour into the climate vat, it’s never enough When is $5 billion a year a lack of anything? The council released a new report this morning saying the government’s lack of action on climate change was a defining feature of its 10 years in power as it fights to extend its tenure at the May 18 election. The Coalition Government hasn’t lacked action, it’s done far too much Australians are adding more renewables per watt per person than any other nation. We now have targets that are possibly the severest in the world given that we are a small distant population in sparsely populated country with one of the largest per capita immigration intakes in the west. Making it worse, we are one of the only countries on Earth that looks like reaching our target.
