Clubbing koalas to death?
In the mid-1990s, Maciej Henneberg was working with koalas at a wildlife park near Adelaide, Australia, when he noticed something strange: The animals appeared to have fingerprints.
As a biological anthropologist and forensic scientist, Henneberg knew this made koalas unique, the only non-primates with fingerprints. “It appears that no one has bothered to study them in detail,” he told The Independent in 1996, shortly before publishing a journal article announcing the find. Henneberg’s research indicated that not even careful analysis under a microscope could help distinguish the loopy, whirling ridges on koalas’ fingers from our own. The fingerprints were so similar to humans’ that he worried they could easily be mixed up by detectives. (Even so, he acknowledged to The Independent, “it is extremely unlikely that koala prints would be found at the scene of a crime.”)
Koala kills man trying to club him.
MSM: Detectives have arrested a local man suspected of committing the murder.
😆
61
That first downvote is from myself on the basis that repeating false claims is to be discouraged. It is not law that koalas have to be “clubbed to death”. In fact the opposite is true. The relevant NSW Code of Practice section 5.2 and the relevant Qld guidelines both require minimal pain and distress to the koala during euthanasia, and the “preferred method is barbiturate overdose while under general anaesthesia.”
41
Of course we all carry barbiturates with us, makes sense.
I take it venturing outside the city limits is not something you do?
Pretty much most people who travel in the country have had to club a roo or two, always a rock or a tree branch nearby, anesthetic and special K not so much.
Let it wriggle around in pain for hours while you find a government approved drug dealer, ridiculous.
132
Perhaps you’d like to respond to what I actually wrote? ie. the allegation about the regulations which, as you imply, is not the same as actual behaviour.

It hurts when it is multiple new born lambs in a drought.

I really wish somebody would have the foresight to document the koala population, before and after.

Mapping The Weather Channel’s Absurd ‘Heat’ Propaganda
https://climatechangedispatch.com/mapping-the-weather-channels-absurd-heat-propaganda/
Also the classic then and now weather temperature presentations – was green, now red.
100
But if it’s not red, red hot, purple, black or some other colour that’s not cooler, i.e. blue, green, white, its not scary enough. Once they used to just report temperatures, now they tell/show you how hot you must feel even though it’s only 25°C, that’s orange or red, so you must be feeling hot. There’s a heat wave, and we’re all going to die, three days just over 30°C, like the latest warning about our upcoming el-Niño summer, expect more heat related deaths. I guess down under it does not get cold enough to kill people here so it doesn’t matter.
71
Does this mean that “heat related” will replace “Covid” on death certificates, as default?

Even Bill Gates is backtracking — the air’s gone out of the climate-crisis balloon
By Glenn H. Reynolds
Published Sep. 25, 2023,
Has the air gone out of the “climate crisis” balloon?
It’s starting to look like it. Some other causes du jour are looking limp lately, too.
Oh, hysteria is still out there. In Boston this month, I passed a church whose door bore a lurid poster reading “DUE TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS, WORSHIP IN SANCTUARY 9-17-23 CANCELED.”
If it were really a global crisis, wouldn’t you want to be praying?
Bill Gates, however, is pumping the brakes on climate panic.
Speaking at a New York Times event, he observed heavy-handed policies won’t work: “If you try to do climate brute force, you will get people who say, ‘I like climate but I don’t want to bear that cost and reduce my standard of living.’”
As Gates noted, many of these people are in middle-income countries, like China and India, that are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions today and whose emissions (unlike those of the United States) have been growing.
He also rained on the greens’ apocalyptic parade, saying “no temperate country is going to become uninhabitable.”
And he cautioned against untested approaches like massive tree planting: “Are we the science people or are we the idiots? Which one do we want to be?”
Well, the climate policies the political system supports are mostly the ones likely to yield the most graft, and those the corporate world supports are mostly the ones involving massive government subsidies.
But it’s interesting to see Gates softening his tone; it feels as if climate outrage has passed its sell-by date.
Oh, sure, there are still kooks in Europe gluing themselves to roadways and the occasional nut throwing oil on famous works of art, but it’s all started to seem rather forced.
When you see a shift in a social trend like this, it’s almost always happening for the same reason: The people behind it have figured out it’s doing the left more harm than good.
It’s of a piece with the sudden de-emphasis of ESG (environmental, social, governance) as a tool of corporate management.
In both cases, the detached, well-off white people who mostly run the left dreamed up causes and slogans, which their follow-the-herd peers uncritically adopted until they ran into reality and the rest of the world noticed.
(More to the point, recent polls show Donald Trump actually pulling ahead of Joe Biden.)
The reality, as Gates is reminding us, is there’s not actually a climate “crisis” calling for drastic action tomorrow, and running businesses and institutions as if there is one is counterproductive and even outright destructive.
Another reality is the great mass of people around the globe knows this and has lost patience with it.
Likewise, investors have figured out ESG is just a way for managers to substitute fuzzy, hard-to-assess performance metrics — basically a “net wokeness” calculus — for clear and well-defined metrics like, you know, how much profit managers produce for shareholders.
It’s not really surprising that, on reflection, shareholders would rather have profit than trendy causes, and voters would rather have jobs and functioning societies than nonstop apocalyptic rhetoric.
151
Klaus Schwab isn’t the only globalist who is terrified the New World Order is failing.
United Nations elites descended on New York City this week to attend the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals Summit and devise an “urgent plan” to save Agenda 2030 because, according to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the deeply unpopular globalist plot is “in peril.”
In an address delivered before the attendees, including Joe Biden, Guterres said, “Today, only 15% of the targets are on track, with many going into reverse,” before issuing a call for a “global rescue plan” to pull Agenda 2030 back from the jaws of defeat.
This is what desperation looks like.
Of course, they won’t admit that the people of the world have woken up to their agenda.
What stunt will they pull next you ask?
211
The Left and the useful/useless idiots think scientific fact is established by “consensus”. Anyone with scientific training knows, of course, this is not true.
The following article was written in 2011.
162
If you thinks that is scientific consensus, you are 100% wrong
you are correct that CO2 rises in the past were later than rise in temperature, but you did not have the massive source of CO2 produced over decades by industrial activity, what you forget is that a CO2 drop preceded a cooling trend.
Stratosphere, you are pulling my leg with this one.
These 2 and all the rest have been debunked, multiple times, they only survive with the as quaint memes, a bit like cargo cults
324
The stratosphere is apparently cooling and I wonder what effect the extra H2O will bring?
Ice cores are poor value, they reckon CO2 hasn’t been this high in 800,000 years, leaf mould and tree rings might give us more clarity.

Stomatal gives us a more realistic picture.

For the umpteenth time Peter, there is No Such Thing As Scientific Consensus. None. Zilch. It’s a political construct, nothing more.
And to claim it exists shows a total lack of understanding of the Scientific Method, as espoused by Richard Feynman.
Please take some time to listen to some of his lectures on science.
As I’m wandering around the UK ATM, I don’t have Michael Creighton’s very good explanation at hand.

Totally agree, David. And they talk about ‘truth telling’.
I posted a comment and picture on FB re Aboriginal map of Australia as there was no mention of the ‘rain forest’/pygmy Aborigines mob. It was taken down because of the nudity in the photo. These groups don’t want the truth. I believe the’ Barrineans’ and similar groups spread down the east coast probably to Tasmania. Mitchell was told by the Aborigines he met near Goonoo Goonoo that little people live in the hills north of Tamworth.
Many years ago, the Aborigines in the Kimberley claimed that the Bradshaw Rock Paintings were not theirs – figures wearing grass skirts. Now they say they are theirs.

Their truth was told to them by white folks.

Workers At Illegal Migrant Shelters In Chicago Are Earning Up To $200 AN HOUR
NBC 5 in Chicago aired a segment this week about where all the millions of taxpayer dollars for illegal alien migrants is going. It appears that a good chunk of it is being siphoned by employees at these private shelters and camps for illegals straight into their own bank accounts.
According to the report, which you can watch below, employees at these private shelters and camps for illegals are making anywhere from $135 to $200 ($310 AUD) per hour for jobs that in the real world would pay a lot less.
Investigator Bennett Baeberle from NBC 5 pored over documents and receipts showing that workers at these private migrant facilities, which are receiving millions of dollars from the government, are paying themselves very, very handsomely.
“Imagine making almost $200 an hour,”
Baeberle stated during the segment, holding up a stack of papers containing potentially incriminating evidence of wrongdoing. “These invoices show it has happened at the privately run shelters housing migrants.”
A manager of a migrant facility made $14,000 ($21,000 AUD) in one week and a nurse earned $20,000 ($31,000 AUD) in a week.

Illegal aliens, unvaxxed, largely untracked, being treated like royalty, and earning 20x that of an American worker doing the same job, and who will vote Demonrat in the upcoming rigged election, not that it matters.

How convenient that the ABC had to go to the Andrews resignation speech and questions rather than continue to cover Warren Mundine at the National Press Club. Warren had not only made an outstanding speech but was cutting his predominately leftist media questioners to shreds with honesty and facts; something the media cannot handle.
241
Watched that. Just two tables of press and lukewarm reception. Pity.

Given the fact he was he a shoe in to win the next election , never had any scrutiny from a compliant MSM I have to wonder what the real reason is for quitting . I will say this though it’s the best thing he has ever done for victorians .

David … I have high regard for you comments, but please …
such an important part of the mechanism of good governance, can’t just pick up and leave willy nilly.
24 hours notice is perfectly sufficient and demonstrates his commitment to responsible public service.
Now of course, if he were a custodian in a government facility, at least two weeks notice would be required as to not interrupt operations.
30
I hope he truly f***s off. Once he has f****d off, can he please f**k off just a little bit more. Then, just in case he ever thinks of coming back, could he then f**k off even further. Bubbly in our household tonight.
243
Why do you think anything will improve? he will just be replaced by another union shill.

All social media posts I have seen are rejoicing in his going.
So how was he elected three times….?

David McCallum, Heartthrob Spy of ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,’ Dies at 90
David McCallum, the Scottish-born actor who became a surprise sensation as the enigmatic Russian spy Illya Kuryakin on “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” in the 1960s and found television stardom again almost 40 years later on the hit series “N.C.I.S.,” died on Monday in New York. He was 90.
“N.C.I.S.” announced his death in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The announcement did not include any further information.
Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Mr. McCallum was an experienced character actor who could use an accent or an odd piece of clothing to give depth to a role. He played a wide range of parts across theater, film and television, from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in Central Park in 2000 to the voice of Professor Paradox on the animated television series “Ben 10: Ultimate Alien,” a decade later.
He was hired in 1964 to play Illya Kuryakin, the Russian-accented sidekick of Robert Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo, on “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” a tongue-in-cheek series about secret agents working for the fictional United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. His part was meant to be small; he had just four lines in the first episode. He suggested that Illya be made more interesting by having him be closemouthed about his personal life (“Nobody knows what Illya Kuryakin does when he goes home at night,” he told one interviewer) and somewhat antagonistic to Solo.

There is no evidence from an Atmospheric Chamber showing that radiative heating occurs for a gas. The reason is thought to be that the random nature of the movement or vibration of gas molecules means that half of the molecules moving towards the radiation are slowed down or cooled. So then radiative forcing is real because the frequency is lowered, but only positive for half of the molecules. So in reality no heat is created before saturation, in this process for gas molecules. The best evidence for this comes from an extension of the work of James Clerk Maxwell ‘Theory of Heat (1871)’. Maxwell only had data for the Earth, but today the theory has a well-substantiated explanation of why Venus with a quarter of a million times more carbon dioxide than the Earth provides the best answer to the problem. The temperature on Venus at the altitude that has identical pressure to that on the Earth’s surface is 1.176 times the Earth’s average surface temperature. The radiating temperature of Venus is 1.176 times that of the Earth, proving that input from the Sun and a change to thermal inertia due to pressure as a precise function of altitude are all that is needed to calculate the atmospheric greenhouse effect on Venus. The mass of the atmosphere of Venus comprises 96.5 percent carbon dioxide and 3.5% Nitrogen. The observations from the Magellan mission show that the atmosphere of Venus is at one bar pressure at an altitude of 30.75 miles. The only significant change to the temperature of the atmosphere of Venus is with altitude, the atmospheric temperature drops by an average of 100 Kelvin for every 11 miles, up to an altitude of 60 miles. From Venus the Sun appears 38 percent bigger than it does from the Earth, an atmosphere that is 93 times both the mass and the surface pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere. The surface temperature of Venus, Earth, Mars, Europa, Titan and Triton follow these rules. But I think the simplest way of proving that Carbon Dioxide does not cause warming by radiative forcing, but by molar mass is the fact that the average temperature at the one bar pressure points on each of the planets, is the same, adjusted for distance from the Sun, despite the different main gases, Nitrogen for the Earth & Titan, Hydrogen for Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn & Uranus and Carbon Dioxide for Venus.

I admire Senator Price, thank her for her courage, and wish her well.
I also thank her for confirming that my No vote is well placed.
Cheers

“No profits for you!”
“French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday the government would ask the fuel industry to sell at cost price and would grant 100 euros ($106.52) in aid to the poorest workers who drive to work, to stem the impact of inflation on households.
“The Prime Minister will bring together all the players in the sector this week and we will ask them to sell at cost price, that is to say that no one makes a margin,” Macron said in an interview with France’s TF1 and France 2 television stations.”

Absolutely no surprises here- Only one journo in 10 is not ‘Left’.
“In this third such survey undertaken by the Worlds of Journalism Study group – a collaboration of academics from more than 120 countries – a snapshot of the 1600 journalists who work in print, digital and broadcast media, is provided.
The survey reveals 5 percent describe themselves as “extreme left” and 15 percent as “hard left”. Of the rest, 22 percent say they are “left”, 20 percent are “mild left”, and 23 percent are “middle left”, while 6 percent identify as “middle right”, 4 percent “mild right”, and only around 1 percent all up say they are “right”, “hard right” or “extreme right”.
In other words, nine out of ten New Zealand journalists are socialists, with one in three hard-core. Only one in ten journalists claim to have no socialist inclinations.
They regard ‘educating the audience’ as their most important role, followed by ‘countering disinformation’. But in some cases, this has led to a concerning development: hard-core left-wing journalists describing information they disagree with as “fake news” or “disinformation” in order to discredit those with alternative views. The role that rose the most sharply, albeit from a low level, was ‘supporting government policy’. ”

As Mad Magazine had it – “What Me Worry?”
“Climate Bombshell: No Ice-Cold Beer to Cool Us Down as Planet Earth Boils Over”
“When all else fails on the climate fearmongering front, try warning that beer shortages are likely in the near future. The Financial Times reports that the Chief Executive of the Japanese brewer Asahi, Atsushi Katsuki, says climate change could lead to beer shortages as warmer temperatures hit barley and hop supplies around the world. ”

“Slouching Towards Beelzebub”
“So, here’s what you might have learned over the weekend if you ventured into the thickets of alt news: in April and May of 2021, the president (“Joe Biden”), the whole White House Covid Response Team (Andy Slavitt & Co), and everyone in the WH communications office, the US Surgeon General (Vivek Murthy), senior officials of the CDC including director Rochelle Walensky, Francis Collins, head of NIH, and Dr. Anthony Fauci of NIAID were all freaking out, holding crisis meetings, and sending blizzards of emails among each other after being informed by a Pfizer safety report that the miraculous new mRNA Covid vaccines produced significant cases of myocarditis and blood-clotting abnormalities.”
Add your own caste of local players.
“One conspicuously strange element of the whole picture is the phantom leadership of the supposed world hegemon USA in the figurehead, “Joe Biden.” Never in history has such a move into tyranny been fronted by such an embarrassingly un-charismatic empty vessel. Never in our country’s history have our affairs whirled in such a mystifying flux of bewildering forces. Even our Civil War was a more straightforward clash of interests. Events are moving quickly now. They’re setting up the steam-table for that banquet of consequences.”

“The one-legged stool”
“British physician and medical researcher Dr. Philip McMillan has been a vocal critic of the Covid pandemic response since day one. In this thirty minute presentation, he looks at some disturbing trends he currently sees in highly vaccinated populations. The problem, as he sees it, is that the overwhelming reliance on vaccines as a means of fighting Covid essentially means that we have one tool in the drawer and little else.”

What if Carbon Dioxide is very near to saturation and therefore cannot have much GHG warming effect? This is the recent finding of eminent Princeton University atmospheric physicist and his York University (North of Toronto) colleague, physicist van Wigngaarden.
And now we have Jeremy Nieboer, who concisely and lucidly explains their work and how it kills the “problem” of rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
