Peaceful morning by the river and on the river. In moments like these, it's easy to forget that this beautiful country is being run by people who couldn't assemble a Lego set in kindergarten.
Mind you, the Opposition has finally — finally — dragged itself away from the catastrophic Net Zero fraud. But simply announcing a change of heart won’t undo the economic vandalism already unleashed and end the madness. If the Opposition is serious, it must go on the offensive and tear down the Net Zero Scam brick by brick.
No other country on earth is stupid enough to try powering its grid mainly with unreliable, weather-dependent "renewables" made in Chinese factories. No sane country bans itself from using its own resources while shipping those very same resources overseas. Net Zero tells us: You can't use your own coal. You can't use your own gas. You can't power your own industries. But China can have as much of it as they want. Australia is the world's biggest woke experiment.
The scare campaign is about carbon dioxide, the clear gas that plants love and makes champagne fizz. So, alarmists deleted "dioxide", hoping the gullible will picture black soot. Never let them get away with this. When they say "carbon," correct them: "Do you mean carbon dioxide?"
Whenever someone shrieks about "taking action on climate change," ask one simple question: By how much will this change the global temperature? To the nearest 1/100th of a degree. They won't know. They never do. Here's the real answer: Even if Australia went full Net Zero; no gas, no petrol cars, no planes, no cows, and CO2 is the control knob for global temperatures, by 2100 the effect on global temperature would be 1/100th of 1°C. That's all of Australia's "climate action".
I discussed all this with my resident king parrot on the jetty this morning. He shrieked with laughter at the gullibility with which those rented scaremongers parrot the old mantra "Stop climate change!"
