"I’ve argued time and again that the old trade unionists and CND lesbians didn’t go away. They just morphed into environmentalists. The red’s become green but the goals remain the same. And there’s no better way of achieving those goals than turning the lights out and therefore winding the clock bac...
This story has been on the record for some time, but has just come to our notice. It all started with Margaret Mead, in 1975, calling for a "Law of the Atmosphere". To download pdf: LINK
"How can you talk of the climate ‘warming’ when, on the key measures, it isn’t? ... Such media behaviour exhibits a classic condition known as ‘cognitive dissonance’. This is experienced when belief in a grand narrative persists blindly even when the facts in the real world begin to contradict what...
"The IPCC mandate is to examine human causes of climate change. However, you cannot determine the human effect if you do not know the cause and extent of natural climate change. You cannot determine the effect if you leave out major components of the climate system and make assumptions that contradi...
"Our efforts to lead the world in controlling emissions of carbon through legislation would have a profound effect on individuals and the national economy, but could be “vanishingly ineffective”, Prof Geoff Kearsley told Straight Furrow. “There is no point decimating our economy in pursuit of carb...
An application to the Hgh Court in Wellington by Basil Walker of Queenstown for an injunction to prevent Labur MPs enacting the Emissions Trading Scheme Bill will be heard on 22 September. The injunction is sought "to prevent injustice and to enhance the viability and future productive capacity of t...
"It's the Sun Not Your SUV - CO2 Will not Destroy the Earth: is the title of an informative new book by John Zykowski. The foreword, by Dipl-Ing. Peter Dietze, independent energy advisor and scientific climate and carbon modeler, official IPCC reviewer, Bavaria, Germany, is a good read and can be d...
The correct way ahead is for Australia to reject Labor's 'Emission Trading Scheme' for reason that it is a nonsense and has no scientific basis supporting it, and if enacted would lead to economic disaster. A new Australian Energy Policy should be formulated based on the premise that CO2 is a valuab...

"On global warming, public policy is where the science was in 1998. Due to new evidence, science has since moved off in a different direction. The UN science body on this matter, the IPCC, is a political body composed mainly of bureaucrats. So far it has resisted acknowledging the new evidence. But...
In his earlier post "Climate Statement - An Orchestrated Litany of Lies" (below) coalition foundation member and longtime IPCC expert Dr Vincent Gray took issue with a report by the Climate Committee of the Royal Society of NZ. That committee's chair, Dr David Wratt replied to Dr Gray's comments -...
"Selective use of facts and data is fast becoming an art form on both sides of the climate change debate now that real money is at stake as the West ponders concrete schemes to reduce carbon emissions. So what is the validity of some of the key claims being made by these new blogger sceptics?" LINK...
"Global warming has now got to the stage where it is only maintained by media self-censorship. If the general public ever got to know of the scandals surrounding the collection and processing of data, or that there has been no detectable warming for the last decade, the whole movement would be...
"I believe in global climate change, but there is no way that humans can influence the temperature of our planet to any measurable degree with the tools currently at their disposal. Any human contribution to global temperature change is lost in the noise of terrestrial and cosmic factors." Former US...
This new Green eco-religion is like a wolf in sheep's clothing and is as dangerous. Unchecked it could result in the downfall of Western civilization as we know it today, or should I say, of yesterday, for already some Governments have implemented very unwise climate change policies derived from uns...
"Both create a source of income for those who identify and define the problem, exploit the guilt, and offer a solution. They also do nothing to ameliorate the supposed problems, the amount of sinning or the amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere from human sources. In fact, they almost guarantee...
Muriel Newman, of the New Zealand Centre for Political Research , devotes here weekly newsletter to the question: "Where is the evidence for AGW (anthropogenic - man-made - global warming"? And links to her guest commentator, Dr David Evans, a scientist formerly with the Australian Greenhouse Offi...
Human activity is indeed changing the climate, at least in part, but there is an increasing body of science that says that the sun may have a greater role than previously thought, argues Professor Geoffrey Kearsley. LINK
"Contrary to claims of a scientific consensus that human activity is the principal temperature driver, there are now many published reports and papers strongly disputing the IPCC analysis, including several by eminent Australian scientists. My conclusion is that the case for major government interve...
