‘The End of the climate cult’ by Matt Ridley

The author of this article makes his claim following the latest COP in never-heard-of-before Belem in Brazil, where there was no pledge to cut fossil fuels, the venue caught fire, the air-conditioning failed, and delegates were told not to flush toilet paper.

Then there is Bill Gates recent “apologia” admitting that global warming will not lead to “humanity's demise”, and the ending of his climate philanthropy; and the closure of the Net Zero Banking Alliance, with JP Morgan, Bank of America, and three other banking entities leading a “stampede of other banks out the door”.

Shell and BP have returned to their core business, and Ford is about to stop production of Ford utes that “nobody wants”.

Even the Democrats in the US have stopped talking about climate change, according to the ‘Washington Post’. Hardly mentioned at all in the recent election campaign.

In the northern hemisphere, the EU has voted to exempt many companies from rules that require them to state how they are helping to “fight climate change”.

Of course, climate change cannot be stopped, so what's to fight?

The “long, lucrative ride’’ is over according to Matt Ridley. Climate change and its effects have been overdone. The effects have always been likely to be a “moderate inconvenience” rather than an existential threat. Now there is a scramble for the exit as donations dry up.

(Matt Ridley is a science writer and businessman. The longish article, including all the villains and general stuff on the climate myth, can be accessed on Google).

I'll be much relieved when the "Renewable energy superpower!" myth and the grifters behind it get exposed. That is starting to happen with the latest systems integration report. Lies will only get you so far.

“Climate change politics is not about science, climate, the environment, employment, or the production of cheap, reliable energy. It is a step towards totalitarianism, comprising a political scare campaign underpinned by demonstrably fake science and corruption. It provides opaque business opportunities to some of Australia’s shonks, China, and other foreign wind and solar companies, thereby making Australia dependent on subsidised, unreliable energy at the expense of local, cheap, constantly available coal, gas, and nuclear energy”. (Prof. Ian Plimer)

Already the media blabber-mouths are blabbing about “heat waves” and “extreme” temperatures to describe the start of a typical, historical, beginning to an Australian Summer. Australia is a hot country, and soon we will have the bushfires that are an accompaniment to our hot climate.

Mutton-headed Australians thinking that they can change the climate (they cannot) should be spending the money they are wasting on their obsession on mitigation instead - clearing undergrowth, returning weed-infested to productive food farming.

But, like the unchanging Summers, the same unchanging advice is ignored.

Australia has always been the UNlucky country. Unlucky to be settled by boofheads who have never come to terms with the bloody obvious.
