I can’t see any evidence of a climate emergency. Just enjoy the wonderful stable climate that earth is currently experiencing. CO2 is not a climate driver.
@LukiFrieden No one is denying that there is climate change but we are saying that there is no scientific evidence that it is happening due to human emissions of CO2. If you have the evidence, let’s see it.
@PGDynes The weather map has gone from red to purple to black. What is the next colour? How do British people think residents of really hot countries survive year after year? Go for a swim & enjoy the warmth while it lasts.
@antonioguterres Aren’t you lucky Antonio, getting a free trip to London all expenses paid, travelling in an a/c car & staying in a 5 star a/c hotel. You won’t even notice the two day heatwave!
We were told that 1.5C of warming would result in 90% of coral reefs dying.
That projection came directly from the IPCC and was dutifully amplified by activist outlets like the Guardian.
But we have already reached 1.5C, according to official data sets, and a mass die-off has not occurred.
Coral reefs not only still exist, but they are thriving. The Great Barrier Reef has registered record coral cover in recent years, according to surveys by Australian Institute of Marine Science.
Here again we have a dire apocalyptic climate warning that failed to come anywhere near the reality.
🚨 CONFIRMED: The climate hoax revealed:
Leading physicist Dr. William Happer: "More CO₂ is good for the world... It's absurd to be trying to reduce CO₂."
"We're in a CO₂ famine now... So it's unbelievable that they've managed to turn this beneficial gas, a part of life, into a threat."
An Open Letter to GetUp and the Tactical Geniuses Behind the National Press Club Stunt
Dear GetUp,
I just wanted to take a moment, as a deeply concerned Australian who watches your work with great interest, to say thank you.
Genuinely. From the bottom of my heart.
What you achieved at the National Press Club during Pauline Hanson's address was nothing short of strategic brilliance. I want to make sure the people responsible get the credit they deserve, because too often the truly transformative work in Australian politics goes unrecognised.
Let me walk through what you accomplished.
Step 1: You took an event that was already going to dominate the news cycle for 24 hours.
Step 2: You ensured, through your guerrilla intervention, that it now dominates the news cycle for 72 hours, possibly longer.
Step 3: You handed Pauline Hanson the single most valuable thing any politician can ever receive: footage of being interrupted by activists that will be clipped, shared, reposted, and weaponised across every social platform in the country for the next month.
Step 4: You confirmed, in front of a national audience, the exact narrative One Nation has been selling for thirty years: that the political establishment, the activist class, and the legacy media cannot tolerate dissenting voices and will literally storm a stage to silence them.
Step 5: You converted millions of Australians who had never voted One Nation, never thought about One Nation, and never seriously considered One Nation into people who just watched a small group of well-resourced inner-city activists try to shout down a woman addressing the National Press Club.
Some of those Australians will have nodded along with you. Most won't.
Because here's the part of the political playbook you seem to have missed.
Every time you do this, you make her stronger.
You made her stronger in 1996.
You made her stronger in 1998.
You made her stronger in 2016 when she returned to the Senate.
And you've just made her stronger again in 2026, when One Nation is already polling at 28%, neck and neck with Labor as the most popular party in Australia.
You didn't dent her. You boosted her.
You didn't expose her. You amplified her.
You didn't shut her down. You handed her the microphone, the camera angle, and the editing room.
Every Australian who has been quietly fed up with the cost of living, the housing crisis, the immigration debate, and the gaslighting from Canberra just watched a group of activists confirm everything they suspected about the political class: that it would rather scream over the top of ordinary people than engage with what they're actually saying.
You think you're fighting "the far right."
You're actually its single greatest recruiter.
So thank you.
Thank you for ensuring that the National Press Club address gets played on every news bulletin for another three days.
Thank you for giving One Nation a fundraising email so good it practically wrote itself.
Thank you for converting Pauline Hanson from a politician into a martyr, again.
Thank you for proving, in front of the entire country, that the people who claim to defend democracy are the first ones to disrupt it the moment someone they disagree with steps up to a podium.
And most of all, thank you for showing every undecided voter in Australia that the activist class has no arguments left, no policies to offer, no plan for the cost of living, no plan for housing, no plan for productivity, no plan for anything, except shouting.
You are not the resistance to One Nation.
You are its undercover marketing department.
Please, keep going.
Keep storming the stages.
Keep interrupting the speeches.
Keep handing her the contrast she needs.
Because every time you do, another ten thousand Australians who were sitting on the fence quietly make up their minds.
You are not stopping the reset of Australian culture back to common sense.
You are accelerating it.
Sincerely.

Few of the hundreds of thousands of wind turbines already built will make it past 17 years in full working order.
The several billions of solar panels might make it to 20 years before they too also succumb to the laws of physics, nature and unavoidable decay. This is only a hint of the staggering mountains of recyclable waste lying ahead as exploding production just carries on regardless of the ultimate landfill pileup quagmire.
Colossal artificial forests of legacy turbines and solar panels will ultimately stop working and need costly replacements. Rusting and decaying offshore turbines in harsh marine environments are a perfect example of this cycle of decay.
What will the world do with the 7-8 billion solar panels already in environmental decay? What about the 1.3 million strong global turbine gridlock—so far? The world already faces an estimate of 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades alone—by the headlong rush of Net Zero in 2050. This small portion of the emerging e-waste catastrophe is the equivalent in weight to 215,000 locomotives.
Super-strength turbine blades the size of 747 airliners are made from almost indestructible high-strength composites designed to survive decades of brutal weather and notoriously difficult to recycle. They were built to last, but not to disappear.
They were meant to last 20 to 24 years before wearing out. But the 150,000 to 200,000 turbines built between 1990 and 2010 are already at the end of their working lives. Each lofty structure weighs 200 to 400 metric tonnes on average, of steel, concrete and composite plastics, metals and rare earths. Who will foot the bill to put these carcasses to rest forever in scattered graveyards?
Burying dead blades is the only solution, even in regions with abundant space like the US. Several European nations, such as Germany and the Netherlands, have actively banned this practice.
Renewables or bust? Ironic, isn't it.
Denmark is held up as proof a fossil grid can be replaced. But electricity prices have more than doubled since 2000, to now sit amongst the highest in the world.
Moreover, the majority of what is labelled renewable is actually biomass, that is, wood. Trees are cut, often abroad, compressed into pellets, shipped in and then burnt for power.
At the smokestack, more CO2 is released than just simply burning gas. But it is labelled as "green" because the emissions are not counted at the power plant. They are 1) assigned to the country where the trees were cut, and 2) assumed to be reabsorbed by future regrowth.
So the system works like this: Cut trees, burn them, emit CO2, call it clean. Laughably, 64% of Denmark's renewable energy comes from this process.
@JEChalmers Thanks to One Nation & the Coalition & industry groups, Chalmers & Albo were forced to make changes to their disastrous budget.
