According to the Bureau of Meteorology's own data, tropical cyclones in Australian waters have declined sharply since 1970.
That drop includes both overall cyclone numbers and also severe cyclones.
The long-term trend over the past 55 years bucks alarmist claims of increased activity due to rising atmospheric CO2.
There have been fewer cyclones, not more.
And it's the same picture globally too. Five decades of satellite data show no upward hurricane trend.

The Government has spent over £650,000 on digital ID adverts
This is irresponsible spending on a system that no one wants, nobody voted for and has no real purpose - during a cost of living crisis

In 2016, the Netherlands Meteorological Institute adjusted temperatures at De Bilt, the country's main climate station. Daily maximums from 1901 to 1950 were lowered by up to 1.9C, which removed 16 of 23 heatwaves from the record.
The altered data were then used to claim modern heatwaves were unprecedented.
Four researchers challenged the changes, but the institute dismissed the criticism, so the analysis went to peer review. In 2021, it was published, conclusively demonstrating the method systematically erased historical heat extremes.
Today, the Meteorological Institute has quietly changed its approach, and as a result, seven erased heatwaves have been restored, including the extreme summer of 1947.
Here again, we have a government agency caught rewriting climate history. The Netherlands Meteorological Institute erased heatwaves of the past, ignored critics, and reinstated the truth only when the evidence became impossible to ignore.
Policies were built on that manipulated record.
Dutch farmers lost livelihoods.
Industry and the wider economy paid the price.
But accountability is coming.
🔴NEWS: Scotland's children's commissioner warns that a social media ban "WON'T keep children safe."
A social media ban for under 16s would not only fail to deliver on its promise but it would come at a cost to our privacy by introducing digital ID by the backdoor.
The answer lies in better parental controls & thoughtful tech responsibility, not government-imposed bans.

I have not seen anybody talking about what’s going on in Canada right now.
This man was pulled over and told by police that he had to come with them because a psychiatrist labeled him “certifiable.”
No paperwork, no rule of law, just a doctor saying that if he didn’t come with him right then and there that he would be arrested.
The fact that a government could do this is terrifying.

A social media ban would fail to keep children safe - instead it would erode our rights & freedoms.

The UK speech regulator's incoming chair calls VPNs a "technical problem," wants new powers over YouTube, and deliberately avoided meeting any tech companies before taking the job.
He only consulted a group pushing for broader censorship laws. Ian Cheshire is building a speech police force and calling it safety.

Did you know that the EU Migration Pact becomes fully operational in 3 weeks, at which time the EU will dictate the number of economic migrants we must accept.

Wind and solar look cheap on paper, but only because their true costs are hidden.
Power grids must balance supply and demand every second. Wind and solar cannot do that. Their output follows the weather, which is variable.
So every megawatt of wind or solar requires a matching megawatt of reliable backup. A 100 MW wind farm does not replace a 100 MW gas plant. The gas plant still has to be built, staffed, fueled and kept ready at all times.
Consumers are effectively paying for two systems, but only one is accounted for.
Think of it like hiring a worker who only shows up 30% of the time. The hourly wage looks cheap, but you still need a fully trained backup worker available 24-7 to fill in for the other 70%. That backup is required and still costs money even when sitting idle. But the extra cost is ignored.
This accounting trick explains why renewables look inexpensive in charts, while electricity prices soar in grids that rely heavily on them.
Globally, the renewable failure is clear.
In 2024, solar supplied just 1.4% of global primary energy. Wind supplied about 1.5%. Fossil fuels still provided around 87%. This is not a global energy transition. It is a costly experiment played by a handful of Western economies.

WhatsApp encryption is a giant fraud.
The state of Texas just sued WhatsApp for lying to users about privacy — because WhatsApp employees have access to “virtually all” private messages.
Now we know what WhatsApp’s founder meant when he said he “sold his users’ privacy.”
In 1980, we had one regulator for every 11,000 people working in financial services.
Today, it's closer to one regulator for every *75* people.
Bureaucrats always create more rules and always work to expand their powers. The idea that we can "regulate for growth" is ludicrous.
