One would hope that people who subscribe to once great, now cowardly and ideologically driven, news media such as the #NewYorkTimes, #Guardian and #WashingtonPost will have the moral integrity to unsubscribe.

The start of what promises to be an eventful year is a good time to remind ourselves of the wisdom of Gary Kasparov lest we slip into the illusory hope for the status quo

Just met the great @SteveForbesCEO at Fox. We chatted about Trump, climate change and the immense cost of climate policies.

Let's do your podcast soon!

Australia’s National Climate Risk Assessment lies

It claims “climate change could cost Australians $40 billion per year by 2050”

This claim generated many headlines

But it is demonstrably false

Whatever you might think of Trump’s rhetoric when he spoke about climate policy at #UNGA, he touched on an inconvenient truth:

Despite endless assurances from campaigners and institutions like the U.N., World Bank, and World Economic Forum, wind and solar are still not delivering cheap energy. In fact, they are making electricity more expensive.

IEA data from 70 countries shows a clear pattern: more renewables, higher costs.

@BjornLomborg A voice for honesty and sanity. No wonder the Australian government, on a suicide course with #climatealarmism doesn't want to hear from him

[Bjorn Lomborg @BjornLomborg]

The world is burning less, not more

That's contrary to the climate narrative

So, a Nature paper found a way to show extreme wildfire more than doubled

But the study turned out to be wrong:

A new analysis shows extreme fire is actually down by 35%

Climate change has become an easy excuse that those in power reach for when their incompetence results in disaster. As with wild fires in California and floods in Spain last year.

Today I did my first icy plunge at Williamstown Beach to raise funds for cancer research.
The water was shallow so it was quite a walk to a good diving depth. 
1 down, 4 to go.

A must-read about the disastrous path Australia is on with the Government's #renewables policy. #netzero is an #economic and #environmental #catastrophe that will #impoverish more people and is tearing areas of #pristine country apart.

A brilliant letter that I hope everyone will read and consider with an open mind https://t.co/N0Nynf8ugB

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

In a moment that should’ve stopped time, Jimmy Carter—quiet as a monk, sharp as a scalpel—offered a truth so unassuming, most missed the incision. He was speaking to Trump, but really, he was speaking to all of us.

Carter’s point was this: While China has spent decades laying tracks for the future, we’ve been digging graves in the past. They’ve built cities, schools, trains that move faster than thought. We’ve built military bases, debt, and an empire of rust.

It wasn’t a boast. It was an autopsy.

China chose infrastructure. We chose interference. They built railways across continents. We bombed bridges across borders. They invested in AI, medicine, and education. We invested in overthrowing oil-rich governments, branding it freedom.

We spent $300 billion trying to bend the world to our will. They spent it making their own nation unshakable.

We don’t have high-speed trains. We don’t have roads that last. We don’t have universal healthcare, or education systems that top the charts. But we do have the most advanced weapons on Earth, pointed at every direction but inward.

If we’d used even a fraction of that money on ourselves, our cities would hum like circuits. Our schools would shine. Our hospitals would heal. Our people might feel something we haven’t felt in a long time—progress.

That was Carter’s quiet bombshell: the war we’re losing isn’t to China. It’s to our own addiction to dominance. And our refusal to invest in anything we can’t control.

If facts hurt your feelings, you need new feelings, not new facts.

[Bjorn Lomborg @BjornLomborg]

After years of bragging about their climate policies, businesses and development banks are now going silent about their sustainability goals.

They are no longer green-washing but “green-hushing”.

It's time to put common sense over green ideology again.

So true! We are a nation of complacent fools, allowing the most egregious of our kind to govern. Where are the courageous leaders who will call out these liars? Labour, Coalition, Teals and Greens all singing from the Al Gore / UN catastrophist hymn book

If you think you're saving the planet by voting for these fools you're the fool.
