  • Leunig in conversation

    With Nick Cater of the Menzies Research Institute. He does not describe himself as a conservative but he sees that some of the best commentary at present is coming from conservative voices.

  • Calling Paul Kelly and Greg Sheridan

    Why are supposedly quality journalists so misguided on climate change? Paul Kelly and Greg Sheridan have clearly taken on board the alarmist global warming narrative. Never mind the performance of the hacks, what has gone wrong at the top of the profession and the once-were reputable newspapers? Global warming and the reduction of CO2 emissions…

  • John Ray, dissecting leftism

    Great to see John J Ray on the blogroll, he is a great unsung hero of the resistance and he deserves to get full recognition before it is too late for him to see and hear it. Check out his sites and take advantage of the arsenal of weapons that he has forged to help…

  • Good News Everybody!

    The banks are here to help with the multi-trillion dollar transition to carbon neutrality by 2050! Commonwealth Bank head of institutional banking and markets Andrew Hinchliff said there was a wall of funds looking to finance the transition, not just because it was the moral and ethical thing to do but also for the business…

  • Things you could not make up

    Kerry and Biden, the gift to China that just keeps giving. Xie said Beijing and Washington would work together on emissions reductions, and share technology and expertise on clean energy, decarbonisation and electrification to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. In 2020, according to The Guardian, the FBI identified Chinese technology theft as the biggest…

  • More farce at COP

    China is not the only country that is playing the useful green idiots of the west for suckers. China has done a great job of getting them on side by meaningless green gestures and now India has got into the game. First Mr Modi played hard to get, threatening to boycott the meeting, then he…

  • Tom Switzer guest post. Russia and China copout

    Net Zero By 2050? Don’t Plan on It Politicians promise an unrealistic transformation that would deny poor countries a chance to grow. As leaders prepare to gather in Glasgow for the United Nations climate-change conference, you may think the world has agreed to reduce and eventually eliminate its dependency on fossil fuels, stepping up its…

  • Campion’s primer on atmospheric physics

    “Net Zero” is pointless. There is no CO2 “greenhouse effect.” Basic physics proves that. CO2 absorbs outgoing longwave infrared radiation (heat) as photons at the 14.8 microns frequency (Planck’s Law). The temperature of absorption at 14.8 microns is -80 degrees Celsius (Wien’s Displacement Law). Minus 80 degrees Celsius is 95 degrees lower than average atmospheric…

  • China saves COP and the world

    I was waiting for this because the Chinese have been playing the wokies of the west like trout with displays of RE installations and the distant promise of peak emissions. Update. Playing the wokies like a trout is quite wrong, the trout have the good sense to resist. The wokies are not resisting, they are…

  • Trouble at mill

    The Tories are not united on the eve of COP. With just over a week to go before Boris Johnson hosts the largest ever gathering of world leaders in Britain, tensions are rising and tempers fraying in Downing Street. The prime minister is said to be “irritated” by Alok Sharma, the man he appointed to chair the Cop26…
