I had the misfortune of hearing part of Energy Minister Chris Bowen's address to the National Press Club yesterday.
It was appalling and demonstrated a complete denial of reality - not just the 'science' behind the climate change scare but the impact of his renewable energy agenda.
Taking Australia to net zero is an impossible dream and will send us broke.
It will also sentence us to third-world status with expensive and unreliable power whilst denying us business and manufacturing opportunities.
That's the impact of his renewable energy agenda.
It's made worse by his denial of nuclear power, which offers us some hope for a fully charged electric future with fewer carbon dioxide emissions. I only care about the availability of power, but for those who think CO2 is killing the planet, nuclear has to be a considered option.
I'd also encourage the Minister - and the CO2 alarmists - to keep themselves updated with 'the science'. I can fully understand why they want to claim that 'the science' is settled because their bogus science has been thoroughly debunked.
Here's a recent study published in Science Direct.
It was well summarised by Twitter user @newstart_2024. He also has a Rumble channel. He writes:
A major new study has debunked the narrative that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activity is causing so-called “global warming.”
The study, published in Science Direct, confirms what “climate scientists” should have told the public a long time ago.
According to the new study, the warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is naturally limited.
In fact, that limit was already reached decades ago.
The study found that carbon dioxide emissions have zero impact on the Earth’s global temperatures.
Even if we dug up all the world’s coal and extracted all the world’s oil and burned it in one giant pyre, its CO2 emissions wouldn’t heat the planet.
The findings of this study directly conflict with the globalist “climate crisis” narrative being promoted by the United Nations-funded “science” community.
Even the taxpayer-funded National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to push these “global warming claims.”
