20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.

Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.

The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

@bazzacc2 @wally_waldo83 Australia has the worst inflation in the developed world, and the fastest fall in living standards. Which promise was that?

We now have documentation that COVID was fabricated in the Wuhan bioweapons lab under the funding and direction of Anthony Fauci. High ranking Democrats up to and including Joseph Biden engaged in a criminal coverup that killed and crippled millions. Where are the tribunals?

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid.

Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia.

Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵

I’ve been calling for an audit of Indigenous funding for years.

When billions of taxpayer dollars are being spent and the outcomes on the ground are still falling short, Australians have every right to ask where the money is going and what it is delivering.

It was great to have @AngusTaylorMP on the ground in Alice Springs to see these challenges firsthand and renew the call for greater transparency and accountability.

The spending black hole must end. Accountability must begin.

Pauline Hanson is seeking tighter security after death threats and abuse.

Lefties are the same worldwide.

Just look at what happened to Trump and Charlie Kirk.

They hate seeing the rise of political figures who challenge the establishment and speak for working-class people.

[Gina Milan @ginamilan_]

I’m sick to my freaking stomach reading Tulsi Gabbard’s declassified bombshells. They laid out the entire treasonous plot: weaponizing the Zelensky phone call to impeach Trump, with Rudy Giuliani squarely in their crosshairs next.

This wasn’t politics—it was a straight-up coup by corrupt deep state actors to overthrow the will of the American people.

These people belong in prison for this shit. Deeply disturbing and downright terrifying.

Clearly, the Earth is a complex, dynamic, living, interactive and restless planet, driven entirely by the immutable laws of physics—not simplistic computer models.

Consider the global scale: Carbon dioxide makes up just 0.042% of our atmosphere, which is only 424 parts per million (ppm). Visually, that equates to just 4 molecules out of every 10,000, or a single molecule in a crowd of 2,500.

By contrast, water vapor can make up to 4% of the atmosphere in humid tropical regions, averaging around 1% to 2% globally. This means water vapor concentrations are routinely a hundred times higher than CO₂. Consequently, water vapor is by far the planet's dominant greenhouse gas, responsible for anywhere from 50% to 70% of the natural greenhouse effect.

The physical driver of regional climates isn't this trace miracle gas of life; it's all about the oceans. The oceans contain roughly 81% of the Earth's entire mobile surface reservoir of carbon, while the atmosphere holds a mere fraction by comparison. Furthermore, the oceans absorb and store over 93% of the thermal energy in the climate system.

Massive oceanic currents are the planet's true engine, endlessly transporting immense stores of tropical heat toward the freezing poles. A prime example is the Gulf Stream: this powerful, warm surface current hugs the eastern coast of the United States before crossing the Atlantic as the North Atlantic Drift.

The Gulf Stream is a critical component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. As this warm seawater reaches the polar regions, its heat is released into the atmosphere, making the water denser, colder and saltier. This heavy water then sinks to the ocean floor and flows back south as a deep, cold current—completing a continuous global conveyor belt of heat distribution. One complete loop takes a thousand years.

Ultimately, CO₂ is the foundation for life on Earth. It's the reason we have photosynthesis, where plants and algae use their unique properties to convert sunlight, water and soil nutrients into vital glucose energy and oxygen.

Because of this, CO₂ underpins every food chain on Earth. It is a fundamental building block for all marine life, utilised by organisms like oysters, clams, corals and tiny swimming sea snails (pteropods) to build their shells.

In fact, between 50% and 85% of the world's photosynthesis and oxygen production occurs in the oceans, driven by microscopic phytoplankton. These tiny organisms form the bedrock of the entire global marine food web.

When you look at the raw physical data, the climate crisis seems to unravel under the sheer weight of planetary reality.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

The mainstream media and scientific bodies chose to ignore a climate declaration, signed by over 1,100 (and later, even more) scientists.

The 'World Climate Declaration' was published in September, 2019, by CLINTEL (Climate Intelligence), a Netherlands-based group. It argued there is no climate crisis or emergency and criticised overreliance on worst-case scenarios based on computer modelling.

The declaration pointed to empirical data of biomass expansion, noting that 'CO2 is plant food'—a reality now backed by verified NASA satellite data showing significant global greening over recent decades. They emphasised the biological benefits of CO2 for global greening, and argued that climate policies must respect economic realities and national sovereignty.

However, critics of this paper were more focussed on who signed it, saying only a small percentage were publishing climate scientists or paleoclimatologists. Many were engineers, geologists, or professionals from unrelated fields.

This was a collision between an entrenched, centrally coordinated climate machine and a bloc of independent professionals, drawn from engineering, economic and industrial backgrounds, arguing the practical, physical constraints and costs of such an all-encompassing global energy transition.

The declaration said climate models had serious flaws. But the climate campaigners were on a roll, and said they alone represented mainstream science. They had built a body of evidence on the calibrated data of satellite and ocean temperatures. The 'short-term pain of transitioning to net zero was preferable to the long-term instability and economic damage from uncontrolled climate change.

This posture allowed them to freely portray the 'rate of warming' as unprecedented in modern human history. The mainstream media backed them. The declaration was labeled 'fringe' overnight by major academic journals.

The economic fallout from dismantling the global energy infrastructure has in fact been colossal, now estimated at $275 trillion and counting. The 1,100 strong declaration did not break through into this entrenched policy circle because of its institutional barriers to outsiders. These doors were permanently closed.

The UN, major central banks and Western governments were already colluding clandestinely with each other, plus global asset managers like BlackRock and Vanguard. They owned the science. They owned the carbon cash fallout. Now they owned the sovereignty as well.

The climate narrative is high-stakes rhetoric, slick propaganda that downplays the gradual collapse of western economies, once based on cheap coal, oil and gas. This mainstream narrative is what captured the public's attention with its high-stakes rhetoric, bypassing the need for a professionally structured, data-driven approach that would be much harder for independent critics to dismiss.

The campaign was spearheaded by claims of 'global boiling' - 'code red for humanity' rhetoric filled the news pages and dominated politicised shouting matches. The UN and associated bodies shifted their position from 'advisory' scientific panels to becoming the world's global economic managers.

The conversation wasn't about atmospheric physics. It was about rusted-on, centralised, top-down control and ownership. But when policies move faster than engineering realities, like grid stability and battery storage limits, then economic hardship becomesss the inevitable price.

That is exactly how it has turned out.

[Bridgett Fertig @LightOnLiberty]

We all watched the 2020 election live on TV.

President Trump was MILES ahead of Joe Biden.

But then the swing states ALL stopped counting votes on election night. This was the first time in history that any state did this, and 7 of them did it simultaneously.

Election workers in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and North Carolina had these mysterious "interruptions" occur in democrat-stronghold urban centers with MILLIONS of mail-in votes involved.

The 2020 election was STOLEN from President Trump!

Heute wird Salman Rushdie 79. 1989 verurteilte ihn das Regime in Teheran zum Tode. Ayatollah Khomeini rief alle Muslime der Welt dazu auf, einen Schriftsteller zu ermorden, nur weil ihm dessen Roman nicht passte. Khomeini lebt seit über 35 Jahren nicht mehr. Sein Mordbefehl aber lebt weiter, noch 2017 bestätigte sein Nachfolger Chamenei das Todesurteil.

Und es blieb nie bei Worten. Rushdies japanischer Übersetzer wurde ermordet, sein italienischer niedergestochen, sein norwegischer Verleger angeschossen. Der islamistische Terror gegen ein einziges Buch reichte bis nach Tokio, Mailand und Oslo. 2022 stach man Rushdie schließlich auf offener Bühne nieder, ausgerechnet bei einem Vortrag über Meinungsfreiheit. Er verlor ein Auge, der Täter verehrte einen seit Jahrzehnten toten Fanatiker.

Das ist der Kern des Islamismus. Er erträgt kein freies Wort, nicht einen Roman oder auch keinen einen Witz. Und während ein Schriftsteller seit fast vierzig Jahren um sein Leben fürchtet, verhandelt der Westen mit seinen Häschern, hofiert das Regime und überweist am Ende noch Geld dafür.
Wer Freiheit ernst meint, verhandelt nicht mit denen, die Schriftsteller auf Todeslisten setzen. Er nennt sie beim Namen: Feinde jeder freien Gesellschaft.

Australian educational institutions have been utterly infiltrated by ideologically motivated “teachers”, that are more interested in indoctrinating our kids with their Marxist derived, progressive, lefty beliefs over imparting actual knowledge.

Our children are being told WHAT to think, not HOW to think. We have a younger generation that seems full of self loathing, characterless “activists” that are full of hate and envy.

People that can’t think critically who have been brainwashed into thinking their feelings matter more than reality are easily manipulated, and that’s just how the government likes it.

They’re being force fed grievance, identity politics, anti-Western narratives, and revisionist history over facts.

Things like:
- Critical Race Theory (CRT) and anti-racism/anti-whiteness frameworks.
- Postmodernism and deconstructionism.
- Marxism and neo-Marxism (including cultural Marxism).
- Gender ideology/queer theory.
- Feminism (intersectional/third-wave)= Toxic Feminism.
- Decolonization and Indigenisation.
- Climate catastrophism and radical environmentalism. (“CO2 hysteria”).
- Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) and identity politics.
- Global citizenship education.
- Social justice “activism”.

And they’re taught to view everything through the Marxist lens of “oppressors” vs the “oppressed”.

All of this is utterly useless for adult life, and God only knows what effect this will eventually have on our economy.

So, you are still happy to punish low-income investors by keeping the 30% minimum floor tax, which effectively cancels out the tax benefits of having a low income when making investment gains. Under the rules set to take effect on 1 July 2027, even if an individual's personal marginal income tax rate is 0% or 16%, their capital gains will still be taxed at a minimum rate of 30%. You really are a piece of shit.
