At no time in history have the people forcing others into compliance been the good guys

Global plant biomass has increased by an astonishing 60% since the start of the Industrial Revolution (1760 to 1840).

This transformational period began in Great Britain with the advent of coal, steam power and mechanised manufacturing. It marked a massive historical shift from agrarian economies to heavy industry — and with it, the return of stored carbon back into the atmosphere.

Since then, atmospheric CO₂ has risen from a baseline of 280 ppm to over 420 ppm. Far from just 'pollution', this increase has supercharged global plant growth via the CO₂ fertilisation effect.

Satellite studies led by NASA have confirmed the planet is becoming visibly greener. Long-term data from 1982 to 2015 reveals 25–50% of vegetated lands have greened significantly. The added leaf area is equivalent to twice the continental United States — and CO₂ fertilisation explains roughly 70% of that growth.

The productivity gains are even more striking when integrated over time. Global photosynthesis — the ultimate proxy for plant growth — is also up by more than 30% since 1900, a trend heavily supported by peer-reviewed analysis (such as Haverd et al).

This has triggered higher crop yields, enhanced carbon uptake by global vegetation, and the noticeable greening of drylands across Africa, China, and India.

CO₂ isn't the enemy. It's fundamental plant food that has helped make the modern Earth the greenest it has been in decades.

ANY scientist saying ANYTHING like
“The world is 1 degree warmer today”
has abandoned physics.

That includes the “climate realists” still too timid, confused, or indoctrinated to reject physically meaningless global-temperature slogans.

Socialism spawned fascism, Marxism, communism, Nazism...

Islam spawned the caliphates and the largest group of terror organisations/governments in history.

Western Civilisation created the Enlightenment and founded some of the greatest, most powerful, advanced, and freest nations that humanity has ever seen.

Draw your own conclusions about what we should protect.

Shani Louk—a 23-year-old German woman who was at the Nova dance party—was raped, butchered, murdered, and her body was dragged back to Gaza behind a car.

Thousands of Palestinians are on video fighting with one another—regular people in Gaza, not dressed as Hamas—just for the chance to get at her body, spit on her, beat her, and kick her.

And then they take her lifeless, broken body, and they dump it into the back of one of these pickup trucks. It's 6:37 in the morning, and there are all these guys chanting Allahu Akbar in the back of the truck.

And there was an AP photographer present who snapped that famous photo of her broken body among these huge men chanting.

How did that photographer know to be there?

He won essentially what amounts to the Pulitzer Prize of photography for that photograph that he was only able to take because, of course, he was in league with the terrorists who told him to be there.

That's the kind of moral distortion that I think we, as members of Western society, need to be deeply concerned about.

My Graduation Day Photo, 14/5/2019.
A PhD in Climate Change Science/Mitigation has been awarded to me.
This degree is useful because folk should actually listen to me now when I say that man-made climate change through our release of greenhouse gases is junk science.

[Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education @craigkellyAFEE]

So the FDA has finally acknowledged that the covid injections killed healthy children.

I knew this happening and was being covered up. That’s why I got emotional in Parliament.

Our bureaucrats were making decisions that would result in healthy children dying unnecessarily and the media were covering it up, while the social media platforms censored anyone trying to sound the alarm.

And 99% of the politicians were happy to go along with it all because they were either too frightened to say anything, too lazy to do any research, or too dumb to understand the data.

Chris Uhlmann delivers a forensic takedown of Australia's energy transition — arguing that for the first time in human history, a civilisation has chosen to move backwards to inferior energy sources.

From his grandfather's Queensland childhood to the moon landing, Uhlmann traces the extraordinary wealth fossil fuels created, then asks why Australia is dismantling the system that built it.

[Jonathan Cohler @cohler]

The Earth is not in equilibrium, so
It has NO global temperature, so
WHAT does an average of local temperatures from a handful of spots around the globe measure?

And don’t say the average temperature of the Earth, because no such thing exists.

What?
What?

TROLLS are you listening??

WHAT?

[Jim Penman @Thejimpenman]

Australia runs more civil servants per head than Italy, Canada, the UK, America, Spain and Germany.

We carry 25 percent more than Britain.

Close to 50 percent more than Germany.

Any competent company would halve the headcount and lose nothing.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

The year is 1949.

The Nobel Prize in Medicine has just gone to the man who invented the lobotomy. Your doctor suggests one for your sister, who has not been herself since the baby came. It is the most celebrated advance in psychiatry of the age, and he is simply current. By the time the prize curdles into an embarrassment, close to twenty thousand Americans have had the operation, and proportionally more here in Britain.

The year is 1956.

Lay the baby down on his front, the doctor says. So does the most trusted childcare book ever written, the one on every new mother's shelf. On his back he might choke, the reasoning goes. Millions obey. The advice holds for nearly thirty years, long after the evidence has quietly turned, and a generation of cot deaths is counted before anyone thinks to roll the babies over.

The year is 1966.

A bestselling book informs your wife that menopause is a disease, that she is, in the author's word, a castrate, and that a small daily pill will keep her youthful and tolerable to live with. Her doctor agrees. The drug becomes one of the most prescribed in the country. Nobody mentions that the author sat on the payroll of the company that made it. That detail surfaces decades later, in the same year the landmark trial is halted early for raising rates of breast cancer, stroke and clots.

The year is 1979.

Your ulcer is caused by stress and sharp food, the doctor explains. Calm down, drink milk, take the antacid that happens to be the best-selling medicine on earth. Two Australians are about to prove that most ulcers are caused by a bacterium and cured by a fortnight of antibiotics. The profession laughs. One of them eventually drinks a beaker of the stuff to settle the matter. The establishment takes the better part of twenty years to stop laughing. The Nobel lands in 2005.

The year is 1985.

Butter is dangerous, the doctor says. Switch to margarine, it is modern, it is heart-healthy, the experts are united. The spread he nudges you toward is loaded with trans fats, which the next decade will identify as the genuinely dangerous one, and which will eventually be banned outright. The butter goes quietly back in the fridge. No correction is ever printed at the volume of the original warning.

The year is 1992.

There is a pyramid on the surgery wall, and the very same one in your grandchild's classroom. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta form the broad virtuous base, up to eleven servings a day. Fat is exiled to the tiny tip. The chart was reportedly held back a year while the relevant industries had their say. It is wrong at the bottom and wrong at the top.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines, new studies, a fresh consensus, delivered with precisely the steady confidence of every guideline above. He believes it, and he has good reason to. So did every doctor in this thread. None of them were villains. Each was sincere, most were kind, and all were certain, reading from a map that somebody else had drawn and handed them. That is the part worth sitting with.

So when the man in the white coat tells you what to eat, what to fear, and what to swallow every morning for the rest of your life, you are allowed to ask. Who paid for the study. What the evidence says beneath the headline. What he was just as certain about thirty years ago, and where that advice sits now.

Then make up your own mind. Call it scepticism, or call it whatever your grandmother called it when she ignored the advert, kept the butter where it was, and lived to ninety-one.

It has outlasted every consensus on this list. It will outlast this one too.

Thomas Sowell: “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

[Old Soldier @OMGTheMess]

From DVA

Mate I received a letter the other day stating my wife had been rejected for making decisions on my behalf when I was struggling with PTSD bad I had tried to take my own life and things weren’t looking good. Fast forward to June 2026 received this letter rejecting our application it took 12 years to make a decision and get back to us. With no reason or excuse just sorry it took so long. Thus place is a f$&*ing joke. If something had happened to me in that time frame my wife wasn’t authorised to act on my behalf. DVA at its best

The greatest mystery in Australian politics is why @Jilliantweeting remains suspended and persecuted after almost two years of an @LNPQLD government. It’s one of many reasons why trust in the LNP is completely shattered.

An Inman at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney:

“Jihad for the sake of Allah is the only way to conquer the world and impose the ruling of Islam”

“The Jihad will continue until judgement day”

I wonder if this falls under Albo’s new “hate speech” laws.

WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo

"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"

"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."

"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"

"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."

"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Mic drop.
