Just after the Coalition announced they would put cheaper energy ahead of global weather control, Anthony Albanese has been struck with cold feet about hosting the Climate COP31 giant junket in Adelaide.
After campaigning for this for three years like it was the Olympics, Anthony Albanese is now suddenly worried about Germany. If Australia and Turkey don’t sort this out between them, the climate circus will default to the poor Germans who will have to host COP31 — something they’ve said they don’t want to do.
Albanese puts COP31 truce on the table after blast from Turkey
By Ben Packham, The Australian
Anthony Albanese has signalled his government is prepared to cede the hosting of next year’s UN climate conference to Turkey but says he wants to salvage some benefits for Pacific Island countries.
The Prime Minister was yet to withdraw Australia’s bid but said on Tuesday that if Turkey was preferred by delegates at this year’s COP (Conference of the Parties) then Australia would not challenge the decision.
He said there was “considerable concern” in the international community that the impasse between Canberra and Ankara would see the 2026 COP default to the German city of Bonn, as required by UN rules.
Amazing how fast political certainty can flip, isn’t it? One moment Anthony Albanese was hoping to stand beside Antonio Guterres on the glorious world stage and brag about how many solar panels Australia has, but now he probably wants a quiet exit.
It doesn’t help that the current COP30 is a flop where Russia, China, India and the US didn’t turn up and most countries didn’t update their plan. If the Australian opposition find their feet and wage a climate war, COP31 in Adelaide will be a sitting duck, radiating upper-class green out-of-touch vibes while voters struggle to pay their electricity bills. It would be a gift to political opponents. Two thousand million dollars is a lot to burn on a lame UN event.
The Opposition may have just saved Australia $2 billion dollars. Or maybe COP30 did.

And what will Albo do if turkey doesn’t want it?
Things are happening. Will they gather pace?
Will Bowen last the week?
Will Albo last the month?

The whole thing is a turkey and whoever pays for it is a goose.

And what, at 2:07 pm if Bonn doesn’t want it?
100
Have it in the Arctic or Antarctica.

Don’t these folk have telephones or “Zoom”. I manage building confabs with overseas people and it costs virtually nothing. We all go away and do some work and later in the week we have another group discussion.
Even in The Australian Parliament most matters are discussed with the majority sitting in their own offices watching on via video link. Unless an individual minister wishes to speak there is no need for them to actually be there.
60
You cannot sample the local ladies of the night via Zoom.

It seems the unelected UN has its succession plan well organised. If next year”s candidates don’t accept the bid to host COP they can foist the responsibility on to the following year’s host city irrespective of the inconvenience. Grifter genius.
60
They may as well have it there as it’s only the EU and Australia that believe in this climate scam.
It least the delegates from Europe won’t have to travel far and so decrease their carbon footprints!
00
I’m in Business and we’re finding it tough. With this Country’s politics (Libs still want Carbon Capture – WHAT???) and the Chinese Economy peeking at the abyss I have real doubts about our potential for survival and am saring at a poverty stricken retirement, it’s too late to stem the flow. I am very depressed and OMG I hate Leftists.
690
Tim, nearly everyone I know and myself, all conservatives, like you are very depressed due to consideration of Australia’s future, or lack thereof, and the severe economic damage being done to businesses, personal savings, investments and retirement plans by Government policy. Plus the prospect of new and confiscatory taxes and no effective Opposition political party to stop or question Government policy.
511
Get used to it if Ley & her ilk remain as the opposition leaders. At the drop of a hat they’ll grab at their “ security “ blanket….the Paris Agreement / Accord & drag us all kicking & screaming back to net zero and the awaiting economic disaster!
Don’t let the media or anybody convince you otherwise!
The conservatives in the LNP need to get stuck into the green/labor /teal influence in the party . The alternative is there for all to see.
The current feeble net zero statements are weasel words designed to play down the demand for a complete change of direction & change of party leadership!
410
Graham, I fear that you are quite correct. I have no confidence in the Libs under current leadership. The talk of carbon capture, when CO2 levels depend entirely on Henry’s Law and the balance with the huge repository of CO2 in the oceans, makes me despair at the scientific ignorance of our MPs.
330
Are you being pragmatic or principled?
Until there is a dramatic shift, Australia is doomed. I can only see One Nation changing the course.
Primarily the radical left governments we have had since Abbott encourage leeching. It is like reverse taxation. They take from the poor to give to the less poor while paying themselves big salaries. So you end up with a population of leeches.
Malcolm Turnbull is probably the #1 leach in Australia. I am nowhere near his level but I have not said no to any of the handouts from any of the programs on offer – solar panels, insulation, globes, heat pumps, air conditioners, batteries etc. All these have lowered my cost of living.
The programs have opened a lot of opportunity for small businesses as well.
With regard big government, my youngest son is a partner in a physio practice and they are doing good business, which includes government compensation patients. They have become a recognised local provider in that area. This son takes the pragmatic perspective that he is doing better than maybe 80% of the population and a lot of people will be in difficult times ahead of him. A bit like when the bear is chasing, you only need to be faster than the slowest.
Obviously I do not know your circumstances but it pays to look forward with a pragmatic perspective rather than hoping a change of government will make things better.
The best you can do for Australia now is vote One Nation while making the most of your circumstances. One Nation are the only mob not supporting apartheid and machete wielding thugs being imported.
371
one nation will never be able to form government, the best they can do is make changes at the edges.
37
I agree re One Nation. Business wise I am diversifying, working 3 different opportunities atm on top of whay my current one does. Takes time…

Cheer up mate. You could be in ‘Pomgolia’ where I came am from.

According to the earning rates of my good old super fund the land of Oz, you know over the rainbow, Ozzie shares on 21.10.2025 were 7.85% on 17.11.2025 2.84% thank God were in good hands. Do I need to put in Sarc? I just wish I knew when the collapse is going to hit, for as sure as God made little green apples, it’s going to hit.

160
Forget about your ‘good old super fund’. One of the many liabilities out there, which the UniParty does not want to discuss, is the lavish pension plan for our millions of Labor voting ‘public servants’. Once these needs have been met, you may be left with a crumb or two, if you are lucky.
170
most super funds are in deep in renewables, the foreign investors took the subsidies offshore then sold the lame infrastructure to the super funds, that’s why no PM can stop the renewables scam, if they did about 10 million Ausie
workers will lose most of their super.
120
Is all this rhetorical, for commentary sake? or are you still in shares despite your feelings?
10
Tim, don’t panic until there is no alternative.
The Liberals lost government. The Nationals didn’t.
How many Liberals are left? How many would it need change to the Nats to make them the senior partners?
120
The National should be in coalition with One Nation as their policies are so similar, the Liberals not so much/
00
It’s a toss up for me as to whom I hate more – leftists or gutless tories.
“The best… ” (ha ha) “… lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” Yeats, “The Second Coming”.
30
It doesn’t matter what causes COP31 to go somewhere else so long as it goes. We probably should give the Nationals and one Nation the kudos because they led the charge away from certain oblivion. Albo is the lemming that is furiously backpedaling as the abyss looms closer. Bowen is still pushing despite the brakes going on.
Not only COP31 having second thoughts but I would suggest there are a few wind and solar proponents having second thoughts about their new investments. Nothing like uncertainty to frighten the horses.
530
Australia can’t afford to throw away another one or two billion dollars of taxpayer money on this nonsense.
But any failure to host will not be because politicians understand or care how much money thst is. They are mostly innumerate and don’t know how much one billion represents and don’t care how they spend our hard-earned money either.
It’s good news if Turkey or Germany take it.
Why should our taxes be spent for the sole purpose of demonstrating to the world how stupid we are for our fanatical commitment to the anthropogenic global warming scam?
490
I suggest that the best solution is for Bowen to be sent to Germany and organise the next Conference in Bonn. Delayed for a few weeks until winter sets in there.
Possibly Albo could go as well, but it is hard to get him to stay in one place for any time.
340
I was looking forward to protesting here in Adelaide, shutting down north tce like the lefties do would be fun.
90
Why not? I’ve personally witnessed deranged Leftists attacking police and March For Australia protesters in Melbourne recently. After all that- one arrest for a Brunswick woman who resisted police. She deliberately drove an e-bike into the MFA protest group (injuring an elderly woman) but she was only charged with resisting arrest.
20
My understanding is that the host country pays for the delegates, their travel, accommodation and meals. No wonder poor countries send many delegates to partake of the hosts largesse. Bludgers all. The 55000 parasites descending on Brazil this week are there for a free feed not to save the world and to ensure they get to go to the next COP. Maybe this one could be the last.
20
It’s just a pity that hardly anyone understands that Australia and the entire SH is already a NET ZERO SINK according to the CSIRO.
Why should we waste another two BILLION $ just because we haven’t got the guts to state the obvious and stand up to their BS and the Labor con merchants and liars.

RickWill,
Wife and I have been serious horticultural hobbyists since the late 1970s, concentrating mostly on camellias and rhododendrons. We are placed to observe changes in growth rates over that 50 years of CO2 change.
The last week we have had 6 tones of new garden soil delivered because the original mix of builders rubble has become too depleted. Many wheelbarrows of dud and new soil are being moved around.
Despite this slow change in old soil fertility depletion, we both believe that our camellias have several better growth indications in the last 20 years at our present home. New growth is more abundant and faster in Spring, leaf abundance on the bush is thicker, leaf size is larger, flowers stay presentable for longer. We cannot be sure that this is because of CO2, but it is a good candidate. Geoff S
220
Hi Nev, ever since 2013 when the Senate inquiry reported that Australia is a Carbon Dioxide sink, I thought “that’s it the scam is over”. However, I failed to understand just how obtuse and/or self-serving the major political parties are and their running dog/enablers the MSM. Its almost like there is some other (sinister) purpose behind this destruction of our society.

Labor going cold on COP31 is another ploy to hide Bowen.

Joe,
COP30 ends in 3 days. Given Australia’s big money investment, we can reasonably expect some comprehensive public reporting on what went on and what was promised for the future. Some past COP events have seen not much reporting.
I have already started a letters to editors campaign to try to get information about this COP30 event.
It would be good if many readers here banged the drum to demand such public information. Geoff S

Are you kidding? This is one big holiday for the minions and a junket for the pollies. It’s a reward for service. The NGOs pay for their most loyal workers, the Universities send along some profs, and the BBC and ABC enjoy a two week trip at taxpayers expense. Likewise the “team” in the public service. A highlight of the year.
Parties in the evening, hobnobbing with the rich and powerful and often celebrities too.

140
To add to Neville’s start above regarding “the obvious” and “the BS” we can expand on this by confirming that firstly, The True Science denies the role of CO2 as an agent of Man Made Global Warming and second, the topic is covered by extraordinary amounts of “BS” and constant repetition of “Their Truth” throughout the Media.
One “tell” is the use of the term “greenhouse gas” to imply things about CO2 that are obviously wrong.
Yes! CO2 is added to greenhouses but if it is added to the greenhouse its purpose is solely to act as plant food and assist growth.
Maybe all politicians should be made to research and understand the functioning components of Greenhouses!

What is amazing is Net Zero itself. 300 years of development of science, Newton’s Laws of motion for solid objects and equilibrium for liquids and gases and suddenly we have science written by opportunists.
The presumption that Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere is random, that the atmosphere is a big bucket to which we can add CO2 with engines and remove it by growing trees is just ridiculous. In reality CO2 is in rapid vast equilibrium exchange with the 98% dissolved in the vast oceans which cover the planet.
Net Zero is what comes from letting politicians tell us they are in charge of CO2 and CO2 in turn is in charge of the weather. Concepts so anti science, so unfounded in established science that they are staggeringly stupid.
Yes, it would be great to abandon net zero. The big question is who came up with such an absurd idea, that CO2 is controllable by governments who will solve the problem by accountancy, laws and taxes and empires of tax collectors and enforcers. The only things they understand. The UN alone is demanding an annual $45Billion a year CO2 tax on world shipping. And it is not even an elected government with such powers.
Meanwhile CO2 itself is a near perfect constant within 1% from pole to pole and changing less than 0.4% even on a yearly basis.
What we need is a huge COP OUT.
290
COP OUT. “To “cop out” means to avoid a responsibility, challenge, or difficult situation, often by making an excuse, backing out of a commitment, or quitting, usually due to fear or laziness.
It’s more face saving than admitting it is all idiotic nonsense. Humans do not and cannot control atmospheric CO2.

Article in today’s The Australian by Bjorn Lomborg points out that these gabfests have achieved nothing. The global decarbonisation rate has remained the same since the 1960s with no change after the 2015 Paris Agreement; and the EU and the U.S. spent US$700bn in 2024 on green investments but CO2 emissions continued to rise. Based on the IPCC’s own climate models, the temperature will only rise by 0.1C at the end of the next century. He advises that the rich western countries only contribute 13% of CO2 emissions.
140
It’s an amazing switch, from total CO2 to CO2 emissions. No one has ever proven they are the same thing. The closest attempt is to show they have both risen, one by 50% and the other by 3500% and argue from coincidence.
60
The whole theory is based on a claim by Svante Arrhenius that CO2 would cause warming; much opposed by Planck, Einstein and Boltzmann etc. at the time.
It was resurrected in the 1930’s and the 1960’s but buried again by colder times. It has been resurrected again to explain the recent warming (since 1980).
It seems that Arrhenius didn’t believe in the Beer-Lambert Law. As far as I know Beer (for solutions) was in 1852 and Lambert sometime before the French revolution** (for gases) has ever been cancelled.
** First French Revolution, not those in the 1800’s nor those in the 1900’s and soon?
60
CO2 does cause warming. But the effect is saturated, but that is not the point at all. Arrhenius is irrelevant. The sole point is whether the 50% increase in total atmospheric CO2 is man made. It categorically is not.
What slow slight increase there is only a short term 50% very slow increase, a drift in the equilibrium point. Atmospheric CO2 goes up and down with ocean temperature, as you would expect. Humans have almost zero effect on atmospheric CO2.
Which is why the furphy of ’emissions’ playing on the utterly subjective idea that (all powerful) humans can change the amount of a specific gas in the atmosphere without any proof whatsoever. It’s nonsense.
60
That is just as well.
You have explained to us many times that increased CO2 is the result of global warming, not the cause.
If CO2 did cause warming there would the risk of a vicious cycle. A positive feed back loop where warming causes more CO2 and more CO2 causes more warming!
30
Yes, sorry about the repetition. But it’s like a logic soup looping back to this irrational net zero concept which has no basis in science.
It feeds on a public presumption that if you output CO2 from your car, atmospheric CO2 goes up permanently. Momentarily and locally it does. In a room it can go from 420ppm to 1200ppm very quickly. But open a window.
On a planetary scale humans are irrelevant. I have taken enough trips at 37,000 feet for thousands of hours to know that the world is almost empty of human life. And cars do not exist without people. CO2 and O2 levels are not set by us. Nor water vapour in the air, the third biggest gas. But for some reason people are prepared to believe CO2 from fossil fuels hangs around indefinitely and does not disappear into the oceans, which is the whole truth.
Equilibrium is all around us. Prey/predator. Fish in in a lake. Gases in the air and water. The balance is restored almost immediately with CO2. And China is the same as the North Pole or South pole. It’s just so obvious and yet we are told emissions matter.
Consider fish breathing like all life on earth. Where do they get the oxygen? What process means they have any oxygen. Who decides how much is in the water? Who decides how much Co2 is in the water or the air? not humans.
70
Nature doesn’t favour positive feedback loops.
On balance it’s a cautious checking system.
10
For all these trillions of dollars invested in fighting a natural rise in CO2, mainly in the form of a massive wealth transfer from the poor to rich Leftist Elites, can someone please point out on the CO2 vs time graph what the effect has been?
70
Precisely. Or even the effect of massive bushfires in Australia or Indonesia or Brazil or California or volcanoes or the worldwide lockdown in 2020 of most cars in most countries and most planes and buses. No effect on CO2! So what point electric cars? CO2 is as close to a flat near horizontal straight line as you could get. And exponential growth of CO2 emissions has not been reflected in total CO2. 3500% increase in emissions in 100 years and 40% increase in CO2.
The connection between ’emissions’ and CO2 has never been established. It just doesn’t add up.
50

COP and Net Zero Politics
Economic Systems: The alarmists keep telling us their concern about global warming is all about man’s stewardship of the environment. But we know that’s not true. A United Nations official has now confirmed this.
At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”
The only economic model in the last 150 years that has ever worked at all is capitalism. The evidence is prima facie: From a feudal order that lasted a thousand years, produced zero growth and kept workdays long and lifespans short, the countries that have embraced free-market capitalism have enjoyed a system in which output has increased 70-fold, work days have been halved and lifespans doubled.
Figueres is perhaps the perfect person for the job of transforming “the economic development model” because she’s really never seen it work. “If you look at Ms. Figueres’ Wikipedia page,” notes Cato economist Dan Mitchell: Making the world look at their right hand while they choke developed economies with their left.

The Market Economy works.
Socialism, Marxism, Communism or any other “ism” never made a mobile phone, computer or a Saturn Rocket. It never made the Steam Engine/Train or the Car. Or Medicines.
All they could do is destroy and kill millions and millions of innocents.
And they are still at it.
Time to stop them.

And they never provided food. They stole it for themsleves along with everything else.

Perhaps we should have net zero for H2O as well?
After all combustion produces as much H2O as CO2. And the H2O will build up in the atmosphere and we will all find it hard to breathe in super high humidity which lasts forever. Or conversely it falls as rain and the sea levels will rise until we drown in our beds.
Do people believe this? Of course not. They know that no matter how much it rains, there is equilibrium. But they argue fossil fuel CO2 is huge, billions of tons.
Except that even at current record emission levels, all the exhausts in all the world add only 1% of CO2 to the air and it goes straight into the ocean. As the amount of CO2 already in the ocean is 50x as much as the air, the annual contribution to total CO2 is only 0.02%. This scare that we are changing the amount of CO2 in the air has been disproven by radio carbon dating since 1958. The air is not old enough!
It is unbelievable that innumerate college footballer Al Gore has fooled a planet load of people for 37 years. And that the entire scientific community says nothing, except those retired.

Look at the picture at the start. Confiscate their wealth, and you’d pay off all of Australia’s National debt.
Then Labor could go on another spending spree with a fresh Bankcard.

Labor has officially pulled the pin. Their polling must have been a worry.

I wonder what this line buried in the quoted story means in Albos fevered mind?
“but says he wants to salvage some benefits for Pacific Island countries.”
What beneits are at risk in the Turkey vs Australia choice? Does he just spew out words trying to sound important or relevant? God he is tiresome.

The most hilarious part is the claim that they are saving face because Chris Bowen will be “setting the agenda”. That embarrassing intellectual minnow couldn’t set the agenda for a two year olds birthday party.
Why do I have a different emoji/icon after 15 years?
