More of the Blueprint to Save Us from Net Zero
Because a change of heart from the Coalition isn't enough to undo the economic vandalism already unleashed and end the madness.
Because a change of heart from the Coalition isn't enough to undo the economic vandalism already unleashed and end the madness.
Following on from last week's article on the 20-step blueprint that every Coalition MP and Senator should be following to defeat the Net Zero scam and save Australia, here's part two of the blueprint (featuring steps 11 to 20):
12. China's coal-fired power
China has more coal capacity and higher CO₂ emissions PER CAPITA from coal than Australia. Yes, per capita.
China runs 1,194 GW of coal power, 80% of it built after 2005. And on top of that, it's building another 484 GW.
Australia? 21 GW, which both Labor and Liberal plan to shut down like obedient little servants of the WEF globalist agenda.
13. There is no "transition" in China
China's cheerleaders and their 'useful idiots' love bragging about China's growth in "renewables." Bowen parrots it constantly.
But China isn't transitioning, it's expanding everything: coal, oil, gas, and nuclear.
There is no "transition" in China. Only addition. The transition is for suckers, mainly us.
14. Beware the capacity con
Alarmists compare energy sources by "capacity," which is a deliberate con job.
A new coal plant delivers power on demand, at 100% capacity factor, and only shuts down for schedule and planned maintenance
Solar limps along at 15–25% (0% at night, in case Bowen forgot). Wind dribbles in at 20–30% and drops to nothing whenever the weather feels like it.
Comparing intermittent generation with baseload power by "capacity" is like comparing a Ferrari to a wheelbarrow.
15. Did we lose a war?
What sane country bans itself from using its own resources while shipping those very same resources overseas?
If we'd been conquered in a war, the victors would force exactly these policies on us.
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.
While China turbocharges its military, pushing Net Zero here while defending Beijing is not just stupidity, it starts to look like treachery.
16. Don't let them destroy language
Orwell warned us: totalitarians destroy words first.
"It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course, the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well... In the end, the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words, in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston?"
The scare campaign is about carbon dioxide, the clear gas that plants love and makes champagne fizz.
So, alarmists deleted "dioxide" intentionally, 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?"
Make them own the deception.
17. Do the maths
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.1°C)
That's it. That's the whole result of all of Australia's "climate action".
18. Expose the BOM's climate fraud
The Bureau of Meteorology has been caught repeatedly manipulating climate data.
They use secretive "homogenisation," constantly rewriting history to suit the alarmist narrative.
They replaced traditional Stevenson screens with new ones 75% smaller, which peer-reviewed research proves record temperatures up to 1.9°C hotter.
They knew this, ignored the science, and destroyed the old screens at every location on the very same day they installed the smaller screens. Therefore, no parallel comparison data exists.
They've memory-holed:
In 2023, when Sydney was experiencing its longest cool spell in years, someone at the BOM even positioned a solar panel to reflect heat into a Stevenson screen behind a locked gate at Observatory Hill to try and boost the temperatures being recorded.
Orwell would be impressed:
Every record altered, every measurement rewritten, every inconvenient fact wiped out.
Only the present matters—and in the present, the alarmists must always be right.
19. Matt Kean
How did Matt Kean, yes, the same Matt Kean of the Liberal Party who helped wreck the NSW energy grid, end up as Chair of the Climate Change Authority under a Labor government while also being a Director and 'Head of Fundraiser' for green-investment firm Wollemi Capital?
This is the climate-industry version of:
Correct Kean every time he opens his mouth. This is a glaring, shameless conflict of interest.
20. Fight, fight, fight
We must destroy the Net Zero scam before it destroys Australia, and the Coalition with it.
The science, the data, and the history are all on our side.
Net Zero is a house of cards built on lies, manipulation and political cowardice. Courage is contagious. Fight, fight, fight.
As Churchill warned: appeasing the crocodile only ensures you get eaten last.
“Apocalyptic environmentalism gives people a purpose: to save the world from climate change, or some other environmental disaster. It provides people with a story that casts them as heroes, which some scholars, as we will see, believe we need in order to find meaning in our lives.”
