We’re watching the slow collapse of the Net Zero, Gender identity bubbleAustralia’s largest military ally announced a major change in direction yesterday — shucking the Woke Hair Shirt and baubles of diversity: Hegseth boasted of “remov[ing] the social justice, politically correct and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department”. He added: “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction or gender delusions, no more debris.” But most Australians won’t know that. The Australian ABC carefully buried this big shift inside a story on the US budget battle. The transformation of US military values was dismissed as just a “pep-talk” for generals. The ABC showed Trump making an inconsequential joke, and Hegseth discussing physical fitness and shaving. In other words, the ABC wants you to think this was a fitness campaign for a”dysfunctional” government which can’t even pay its generals today. How many Australians would join the dots that the country we depend on for protection just shot down twenty years of leftist fashion bubbles? Where were the interviews with the Australian Deputy Director of Navy Diversity & Inclusion (who knew we had one), Commander Prudence Hawkins-Griffiths? Last year, she was “doubling down” on diversity and inclusion. Where were the questions of whether our defense force is rethinking their Net Zero Strategy and Future Energy Strategy. As the Department of Defense said last year: Climate change is a national security issue. It poses risks to Australia’s national interests and exacerbates geostrategic risks. The shift to net zero not only contributes to making Australians safer but also enhances Australia’s standing in the Indo-Pacific.
By investing in clean energy, investigating opportunities for adopting lower-carbon fuels and preparing for future energy needs, Defence will contribute to a cleaner, safer environment and more resilient Australia, without compromising military preparedness or operational requirements. — Defense Net Zero Strategy and Future Energy Strategy Released, October 25, 2024 For a lesson in soft propaganda from the ABC watch from 16 minutes on ABC iView. Most of the agitprop is that which is left unsaid. Only those who already know the news, know what they’re missing, which is why the ABC gets away with it. So the more we share, the harder it is for them. For those who want to see more, at what was an extraordinarily rare roomful of senior military heads: ht/ David E, John Connor II, El gordo, Image by Eynoxart from Pixabay

By Jo Nova The Greens will be apoplecticDonald Trump pays no lip service to the tender heart of the Eco-Blob bureaucrat. Old coal plants are going to be kept running. Plants that have stopped will be reopened and modernized. New coal plants will be built. It’s all there. Some plants will be converted so they can switch between different fuels seamlessly. It’s almost like the US is in a race to claw back industry and manufacturing, and wants to be world leaders in a breakthrough new technology that burns energy for breakfast. This is what a true leader does — they make the right choice while all the minions are aghast, then years later everyone copies them. Trump administration opens more land for coal mining, offers $625M to boost coal-fired power plantsBy Matthew Daly, AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Monday it will open 13 million acres of federal lands for coal mining and provide $625 million to recommission or modernize coal-fired power plants as President Donald Trump continues his efforts to reverse the years-long decline in the U.S. coal industry. Actions by the Energy and Interior departments and the Environmental Protection Agency follow executive orders Trump issued in April to revive coal, a reliable but polluting energy source that’s long been shrinking amid environmental regulations and competition from cheaper natural gas. Under Trump’s orders, the Energy Department has required fossil-fueled power plants in Michigan and Pennsylvania to keep operating past their retirement dates to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. The latest announcement would allow those efforts to expand as a precaution against possible electricity shortfalls. Trump also has directed federal agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining and prioritize coal leasing on U.S. lands. A sweeping tax bill approved by Republicans and signed by Trump reduces royalty rates for coal mining from 12.5% to 7%, Coal once provided more than half of U.S. electricity production, but its share dropped to about 15% in 2024, down from about 45% as recently as 2010. Natural gas provides about 43% of U.S. electricity, with the remainder from nuclear energy and renewables such as wind, solar and hydropower. No one wants to lose the AI race, except maybe AustraliaImagine there was hot potential new technology, maybe as transformative as the printing press, and your nation said “No” because the PM wanted to earn Green Victory points at the U.N. assembly? Australia could do this too and say hello to cheap electricity, jobs, smelters, patents and technological advances. Instead, the more renewables we add, the less industry we keep. Alcoa has just closed an alumina refinery in WA that has been open for 60 years. Alcoa is tactfully blaming several causes, but everyone knows that electricity prices are rising, and the country is in the grip of the meddling bureaucratic Blob. The US Department of Energy planKeep reading →
By Jo Nova Firstly, all that money we spent — it’s done nothing (shh!)It turns out Australia’s economy has been decarbonising at the same rate for decades regardless of how many windmills and solar panels we install, or how many UN speeches we give. Carbon taxes can come and go, coal plants can close, and we can fill up the roof with pink batts. But in the end, the Australian economy, our GDP, is decarbonising at about 2% a year, and has been since 1992. All the frequent flyer carbon schemes, carbon certificates, waste management plans and electric cars amount to a cake decoration. Roger Pielke Jnr, graphs 30 years of government failure. Mission ImpossibleBy Roger Pielke Jnr, The Honest Broker For all of the sound and fury of Australian climate politics, which have claimed the careers of a few prime ministers, there is no evidence that Australia’s emissions reduction policies have done anything to meaningfully accelerate the rate of decarbonization over many decades. We see how Labor, Liberal, makes no difference. The dinosaur era where we used mostly coal power had nearly the same reduction as the Rudd renewable era where we started out quest for “renewables”, and the “Decade of Denial” that followed that was as successful as anything the Labor Greens ever managed. At it’s peak, our Australia emissions reduction per unit of GDP reached nearly 3%. But if we are to reach even the lower end of the new 2035 goals Pielke calculates we need to double the reduction to nearly 6%. Not only are the implied rates of decarbonization far in excess of anything ever accomplished in Australia, they are also far in excess of any annual rate of decarbonization achieved by any country — ever. We know they can’t do it, they know they can’t do it, and they know we know. Pielke Jnr calculates we should be rushing to install 25 nuclear reactors, if we were serious. And we are serious, of course, just not about carbon dioxide. We are serious about converting the free market to a socialist paradise. When every business is dependent on the State, none of them will criticize the Party. Hallalujah. When energy is unaffordable here, Australia will be the perfect quarry for China, and happy clapper for the UN. …Almost there! Image by psychofladoodle from Pixabay

By Jo Nova The rot goes right to the topIn terms of The Blob, the deepest darkest forces of power, the ones that scare even The Bankers, are surely the spies with guns, especially if they are unaccountable, politically biased spies with guns. For four years since the January 6 Capitol Hill riots, the FBI has refused to say how many agents it had in the crowd, even to Congress, or even to the US President. Now we find, after the denials, there were 274 plain clothes agents there on the day. Donald Trump says “Wow: A radical Left Democrat Scam.” It puts a whole new meaning to the term “insurrection”. Hundreds of paid agents, armed, and pretending to be protesting the same government that paid them to be there? Let’s not forget that the main outcome of the Capitol Hill riots was to draw attention away from a critical Senate debates about irregularities with the 2020 election. (Many Republican senators who has promised to object to the certification of Joe Biden withdrew their objections after the riot). It would also be a useful (if awful) tool to imprison nearly 1,000 protestors and thus terrorize and deter people on one side of politics from protesting. And then there were people who yelled and incited others like Ray Epps, — “We need to go IN to the Capitol” — were never arrested, and never jailed. And we still don’t know why. FBI Bombshell: 274 agents sent to Capitol for J6, many later complained they were political ‘pawns’By and , JustTheNews The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI’s rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to “wokeness” and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years. Not surprisingly, doing something so politically biased, so unAmerican, was bound to test the more patriotic FBI staff, who protested in anonymous complaints to the “after action” team. That 50 page report has just been turned over to the House Judiciary Committee: Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows. “The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously,” one employee wrote in a stinging review. “It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders’ perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations.” That agent urged FBI leaders “to identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias.” These agents were deployed in plain clothes and with guns, yet they had no way to identify themselves to the police and no safety gear to protect themselves. What were they doing there, and why was this a secret for so long? And the bigger question is just how close the most powerful democracy on Earth is to being a sham in the control of an unaccountable shadow government? Purely hypothetically, if the FBI chiefs had compromat which gave them control over one presidential candidate (like say, his son’s lap top) — they might feel inclined to boost his chances of getting elected, and to cover up any illegal boosting they might have done. The question is not whether this scenario is possible, because it self-evidently is possible, but to ask if it happened, “What would stop that?” The media? The Watchdogs? Like — PBS News December 2024? “No undercover agents on the scene” says report from the Justice Department, knocking down yet another fringe conspiracy which turned out to be true. The US Justice Department was the watchdog which took three years to not-find 274 agents. What kind of justice is that? The Blob kind…

Experts are wrong: After 58 years of emissions — disaster losses in Australia stay the sameAustralia’s National Climate Risk Assessment dropped on us last week like the perfect propaganda-bomb — inducing headlines about our horrifying climate future, starring photos of flooded houses. But the data shows the only horror-show is the state of Australian science at the CSIRO. The report predicts that climate change will cause $40 billion in disaster losses each year by 2050. But Professor Roger Pielke Jnr points out that the numbers come from the Colvin Review which “says no such thing”. The Colvin Review merely projects disaster costs will increase due to population growth, not “climate change”. As Pielke says “For a formal government assessment this is, at best, incredibly sloppy.” (He doesn’t add, especially when hundreds of billions of dollars depends upon it.) He expects that people relying on this report might “feel hoodwinked”. (We do). Climate Change is not increasing disaster losses in AustraliaDespite every fire, flood and spring tide being blamed on climate change, insurance costs for disasters haven’t increased in nearly 60 years, apart from what we’d expect due to inflation and population growth. Pielke got the data from the Insurance Council of Australia, and adjusted it using GDP data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics to produce this graph (below). He finds there is “no trend”. Where is the crisis?Humanity produced eighty percent of all the emission we’ve ever produced in the last 58 years, (1,400 billion tons of carbon dioxide) yet in Australia losses due to natural disasters haven’t changed as a proportion of our economy. Here in the land of droughts and flooding rains, it is business as usual.  Source: Roger Pielke Jnr, using ICA and ABS data. Note that 2025 is through September. (See McAneney et al. 2019 for the details.) Our population has grown from 11 million to 27 million, with more homes, farms and factories just waiting to be burned, blown away or flooded. But once the extra targets are taken into account there is no sign of any extra effect from “climate change”. All those extra buildings, bridges and cars are sitting-ducks for storms, floods, and hailstones, yet the “climate crisis” downunder is the same as it ever was. Back in 1967 (when the graph starts) global carbon dioxide stood at an idyllic 320ppm, now it’s 425ppm, and there is nothing to show for it. How much more are we supposed to spend to prevent a crisis that isn’t happening? The CSIRO and the BoM and climate academics serve themselves and not the taxpayers who fund them.Professor Andy Pitman admits climate models can’t predict extreme events, El Nino, tipping points, rain or river flows, yet he (and all the others) rarely stand up to say so when our Minister for Changing the Weather, or our news media misleads the people. The secret in plain view is that Climate modelers have no idea what really controls out climate. Arctic sea ice was supposed to disappear but it’s stayed the same for twenty years. Antarctic sea ice inexplicably grew for decades, and the modelers didn’t know why, then it suddenly declined, and the modelers didn’t see that coming either. Cyclones have declined in the Australian region and the Indian ocean. Australian sea levels have been falling for 7000 years. Deserts are not growing. Pacific Islands are not sinking. And 178 years of CO2 emissions have no measurable effect on rainfall in Australia. The CSIRO and the BOM have reduced themselves and science to nothing more than a publicity exercise to promote government power and spending. Even the half-decent scientists left at both institutions don’t speak up when colleagues shamelessly abuse the scientific method, or lie by omission. They still collect their salaries and their super while plumbers, farmers and truckies pay more for electricity than they should and jobs at factories and plants close down. Shame on all the academic incompetent snobs: they are letting the country down to line their own pockets with comfortable careers.

September 26th, 2025 | Tags: Climate Models, Disasters, Pielke Jnr (Roger) | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | By Jo Nova Just when you thought EV’s could not get more deadlyEric Worrall alerts us to the new experimental Burning Battery Ejectors at WattsUp. A Chinese group has invented a James Bond style ejector for EVs to solve those embarrassing moments when the battery reaches thermal runaway, and there are no handy swimming pools to park the car in. It seems like a great idea for all the times the EV starts to smoke while you idle next to a pit of fire retardant foam. Otherwise, it seems a bit tough on pedestrians. This could not only kill school children walking down the road, but take out their bus too. Imagine if a hostile power had remote control over 500 kilogram covert bomb launchers, and they infiltrated our cities?
Simon who wrote Australian Climate Madness for years, first spotted the ejector battery and explains the crazy on youtube (at least as much as he can): People would certainly learn never to park beside one. If heavy vehicles need to beep when reversing what kind of noise should an EV make before launching?
September 25th, 2025 | Tags: China, Electric Cars (EV) | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | By Jo Nova Trump just went full Climate Blasphemy at the UN, saying the things we wish someone had said for the last twenty years. It’s a scam, a hoax, and a fraud, he said, and the schmucks at the United Nations have to listen to every word. In 1982, the executive director of the U.N. environmental program predicted that by the year 2000, climate change would cause a global catastrophe “irreversible as any nuclear holocaust”… these predictions were WRONG. They were made by stupid people that have cost their countries fortunes. Trump warned world leaders that if you don’t get away from this green energy scam (and mass immigration) your countries are going to fail. From 39:00 minutes in he mocks the UN predictions from 1982. “Your countries are going to hell”.Despite him being the highest ranking speaker of the day, the UN escalator stopped working and then the teleprompter didn’t work, making it just that much harder for him to connect with the cameras and the audience for the newsworthy grabs, or making it more likely he would misspeak. What are the odds? When we were in Bali at the UN all those years ago, there were a string of odd accidents that always worked in the UN’s favour. They’d finally relent, and offer us a big venue after days of saying there were none, then they forgot to put a notice on the public ticker-timetable. Petty. Petty. Petty. “It’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world in my opinion.”Another UN official stated in 1989 that within a decade entire nations could be wiped off the map by global warming. Not happening. You know, it used to be global cooling. If you look back years ago in the 1920s and the 1930s, they said global cooling will kill the world. We have to do something. Then they said global warming will kill the world. But then it started getting cooler. So now they could just call it climate change because that way they can’t miss. It’s climate change because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, there’s climate change. “Predictions made by stupid people that have cost their countries fortunes…” Climate change, no matter what happens, you’re involved in that. No more global warming, no more global cooling. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people that have cost their countries fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success. If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. They must take control strongly and immediately of the unmititigated immigration disaster and the fake energy catastrophe before it’s too late. “… by people with evil intentions…(he names Obama)” The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions and they’re heading down a path of total destruction. You know, the carbon footprint, it was a big big thing a few years ago. I remember hearing about the carbon footprint and then President Obama would get into Air Force One, a massive Boeing 747, and not a new one, an old one with old engines that spew everything into the atmosphere. He’d talk about the carbon footprint. We must do something. Then he’d get in and he’d fly from Washington to Hawaii to play a round of golf. And then he’d get back onto that big beautiful plane and he’d fly back and he talk about again global warming and the carbon footprint. It’s a con job. Europe cut emissions 37%, and for what…” At extreme cost and expense, Europe reduced its own carbon footprint by 37%. Think of that. Congratulations, Europe. Great job. You cost yourself a lot of jobs, a lot of factories closed, but you reduce the carbon footprint by 37%. However, for all of that sacrifice and much more, it’s been totally wiped out and then some by a global increase of 54%. much of it coming from China and other countries that are thriving around China which now produces more CO2 than all the other developed nations in the world. So all of these countries are working so hard on the carbon footprint which is nonsense by the way. It’s nonsense. ___________________ ht to Climate Depot ***[For the record I tried to link to the short 6 minute version of Trump’s speech about climate change, that Marc Morano posted on X, and it is breaking the website every time. “You are blocked!” .

 A wind farm near Emerald, Queensland (ABC) By Jo Nova Turns out National Policy is set by Namecalling…Finally, twenty years too late, some Greens admit that wind farms and renewables damage the wilderness they wanted to save, but they’ve stayed silent because they are afraid they’ll be called a climate denier. People may have missed this significant turning point in The Australian ten days ago. Because climate change is essentially a grossly exaggerated scam, it levitates on billions of dollars and a layer-cake of coercion and intimidation. And so it goes that the economic craziness is tearing the Liberals apart, but the environmental destruction is tearing the Greens apart too. Never underestimate the power of petty put-downs. Many on both sides didn’t speak up because they didn’t want to sound stupid, or selfish or “far right”. If the Greens had spoken up against the dehumanizing petty names, instead of staying silent or joining in the namecalling bonfire, we wouldn’t be killing so many eagles and whales and cutting down trees “to save the planet”. Let’s not forget, saving the animals and trees is supposed to be the driving force of The Greens, yet they were willing to look the other way, or ignore something if the social cost was too high. Wait til they find out they’ve been helping the bankers…. Environmentalists at war over wilderness in ruinsBy Matthew Denhold, The Australian, September 12th 2025 Major fault lines have emerged in the environment movement over the renewables rollout, with peak groups accused of turning a blind eye to “biodiversity-destroying” projects, while a senior campaigner likens its impacts on nature to the industrial revolution. Veteran conservationist and former federal Greens leader Christine Milne told The Australian peak environmental non-government organisations were too “frightened” to oppose renewables projects. If only the horrible people on The Right hadn’t already opposed wind farms, it wouldn’t have been so hard for the Greens to protest: “The reason that the larger groups have got to this point is because the right in Australia oppose renewable energy. “And so the environment movement have been reluctant to stand up and say ‘well, actually, on this particular wind farm or this particular transmission line it’s not appropriate’. They are frightened of being categorised in climate denier (terms) …” Not quite at the state of accepting personal responsibility then… Bullying is such a widespread problem — even the campaign director of the Wilderness Society has quit recently because of the bad behaviour and the dire threat of industrial renewables: Ms Milne’s intervention comes as Wilderness Society national campaigns director Amelia Young quits the group after almost 20 years, citing “intolerable … attitudes and behaviours” – and warning of a dire threat to nature posed by the renewables rollout. “The renewables revolution threatens nature in many of the same extractive and colonial ways that the industrial revolution did,” Ms Young told colleagues in a farewell email, obtained by The Australian. It’s amazing the effect namecalling has. It’s not just a schoolyard thing, social mockery and ostracism keeps adults in line very effectively. Christine Milne talks about the city versus country divide within the Greens. Often it’s the rural locals who are opposing the destruction and the city based NGO’s wont help. The the traditional Greens find themselves on the nasty end of their own activist inner city Green forms of bullying: “To denigrate those people as just Nimbys or anti-global action on climate is just wrong, and it just alienates people.” Perhaps if the Greens didn’t teach their underlings to smear and attack everyone for fantasies like “fossil fueled funding” they might foster a healthier community of their own? It’s interesting, isn’t it, that the climate denier insult worked even better on the Greens (and for longer) than it did on the skeptics If the Greens had spoken against the bullies, they wouldn’t have just helped skeptics, they’d have set themselves free. Everyone would have been able to speak, and we’d all have figured out unreliable low density generators were not going to stop the storms or cancel the floods, or save the spotted quoll. And most importantly, we’d have realized that it isn’t about left and right, but about the people versus the parasitic Blob. And that’s the thing the Blob is most afraid of — the left and the right talking to each other.
