Global Warming fuels Sex Trade!

The latest salvo in the global-warming-causes-everything propaganda war maintains that global warming is causing an increase in the sex trade in Cambodia .Drawing a very long bow ,  Green Answers says that a minute change in temperature is causing increasing depravity and human trafficking in this Asian country. Projected water shortages are going to cause women to walk further and be more liable to kidnapping and con artists says one of the puerile arguments put forward in this green nonsense.

Gillard bereft of ideas!


Julia Gillard has cynically called a meeting of Labor's backbench ostensibly to come up with some new ideas for her struggling government. This will have the dual purpose of placating restive backbenchers by giving them something to do and trying to give the illusion of motion to voters using the medium of butchers paper and felt pens, ironically used in  kindergartens for expression of ideas . I wonder if the best ones are going up on Julia's refrigerator. Of course the best idea for Australia would be to scrap the awful carbon tax which will not happen.

Gillard's Ministry of Truth acts!

Following our earlier article the original embarrassing Report 117 on Australia's future oil energy scenarios now no longer exists in any  Government website and has been replaced with an unrelated report .  The report has been erased and dropped down a Ministry of Truth "memory hole" by this Orwellian-style government.  Piers Akerman has the story:

Gillard Government buries "inconvenient" oil supply report.

It is a sign of the incredible mess Labor is making of the nation's energy supplies that it has had to hide a well-researched report on Australia's future transport energy requirements. Fortunately they were as incompetent in hiding the document as everything else they do  and the report popped up on a French site - don't you love the internet!
The report says that Australia's self sufficiency in liquid fuels is over and we have limited strategic supplies to cope with a global oil crisis. Australia could easily be completely sufficient if some of our enormous coal reserves were diverted to coal-oil production which has long been advocated by this writer. This would be impossible with the present government which is preoccupied with destroying the cheap energy supply which is one of Australia's main sustainable competitive advantages.

Obama sabotages US again!


Obama does it again , rejecting a fuel pipeline which would create thousands of jobs and reduce US dependence on fuel from hostile countries. Whoever Obama works for it is definitely not the United States as he continues a program of sabotaging the country's energy supplies. There is no need for terrorists to put a bomb under this energy lifeline for the US as the president has much more effectively done the same with a stroke of the pen. With huge debts created under the auspices of fighting the effects of the GFC and the money borrowed frittered away on useless and non-productive projects a financially-strapped America cannot afford another 4 years of being white-anted from the very top . This short-sighted Obama decision has given the GOP a potent weapon against the president in the 2012 election.

House Republicans have called Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify as early as next week on the Obama administration’s decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline.
Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton formally sent a request to Clinton to come and testify at a hearing as early as next Wednesday, the day after President Barack Obama gives his State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress.

More tax-payer paid tripe on projected Global Warming deaths from"scientists"

A devastating new paper along the typical "we are all gunna die" theme has been published stating that a temperature rise of 2 degrees C will cause a loss of 381 years of life per year by 2050 - not 380 or 382 but 381 giving the impression of great accuracy. Of course using "years of life" inflates the figures rather than simply stating numbers of heat related fatalities as the figures quoted could be equated to 5 babies or 20 middle aged people. It is patently obvious to any moderately intelligent person that across Australia a modest increase in temperature would result in less overall fatalies as   people are more susceptible to cold than heat and that should have been the headline instead of the alarmist rubbish printed. Of course we have had an enormous increase in air-conditioning installed in the last decade and it can be assumed that that trend will continue which will also reduce heat stress. People move from the south to retire in Queensland where the average temperatures are 6 degrees warmer than Sydney and according to these turkeys this will be a death sentence for a number of them. Never mind they will get a grant to publish more malarkey on the perils of Warming.

Solyandra the tip of the iceberg.

Solyandra the US "clean energy" company which recently went belly-up with half a billion dollars of taxpayer funds is just one of a lengthening list of similar companies in trouble. CBS says at least eleven other tax-payer assisted companies are either bankrupt or in trouble. With Australia about to put 10 billion dollars in a green energy fund I hope that Gillard and her cronies learn from the US experience although their recent performance would indicate that will not happen.

They never give up!

As the world cools the Ministry of Climate Truth is working overtime using  Orwellian principles to brainwash the public. In Orwell's 1984 brainwashing was used to convince the populace that conflicting statements were true.
WAR IS PEACE 
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Any rational person would think that the type of propaganda depicted in 1984 would never work with an modern intelligent society but the warmists have achieved much by cloaking their nonsense in scientific mumbo- jumbo and asking the public to believe it as it is "science".
We are being asked to believe that amongst other things that:
  1. Falling temperatures are rising
  2. Falling sea levels are rising
  3. Global warming is causing drought/flood
  4. Global warming is causing increased snow
Trying to rationalise that increasing snow is being caused by global warming is the last gasp of the AGW scammers as the recent planet warming cycle disappears before their eyes. Of course this research paper liberally uses those magic climatologist weasel words "could , may and might" and the confirmation bias is obvious but we have come to expect no more from "climate scientists".

Canberra Climate Palace

While taxpayers are struggling to maintain a decent living standard our climate bureaucrats parasites are getting ready to move into luxury offices in Canberra, paying 25% over the going rate so they can say it is "sustainable" . While the public is urged to recycle,conserve and re-use to save the environment these onanists are splurging on luxury accomodation for their new Climate Propaganda Centre. Over 20 million dollars is being spent on fit-out to make sure these free-loaders have all the comforts they could wish for.

Canada shows the way!

It is music to Aussie ears to hear a politician get up and say that his country will not pay billions of dollars to the international carbon thieves because his duty is to protect the national interest. Canada has already withdrawn from the Kyoto protocol and now Joe Oliver the Canadian Minister of Natural Resources, has in an open letter  lambasted those who have used every means to delay vital development in Canada. The nation that has built a  major railway in 4 years is now taking 9 years to just get planning approvals for a pipeline. Perhaps Canada should include bureaucrats in their annual hunting season !
