Warmists hate not only humans, but the dogs that love them

Matt Smith is a journalism lecturer and thus, of course, a global warmist of the more puritanical kind:

Serving up Fido as an entree might be a bit extreme, but one of the most effective ways you can make an impact on your ecological footprint is by not owning a dog… When it comes to an ecological footprint, a dog is the equivalent of two Toyota LandCruisers…

The fact that a family pet is such a way of life in the Australian culture is damage enough. Even if we widened our palate to include dogs, that wouldn’t stop people owning pets…

What would be most effective is for people to think hard before buying a pet. It might be better to grow some plants instead. At least plants are edible.....Read more

But Antony, the Greens are reds in another color | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

ABC election analyst Antony Green is very forgiving, judging the Greens more by their popularity than their reality:

After the Liberal Party announced ... it would put the Greens last on its how-to-vote material, I was asked what the Liberal Party used to do with the Communist Party.

Using how-to-vote material from three NSW elections in the 1950s, the answer is the Liberal Party used to put Communist Party candidates last. As did the Labor Party.

In that sense the Liberal decision on Green preferences can’t be compared to the situation with the Communists. The Communist Party, and more recently One Nation, were treated as pariah parties that both sides felt they had to go out of their way to put last.

Despite several recent articles painting the Greens as modern day Marxists, they have certainly not reached the opprobrium levels of One Nation and the Communists.....Read more

Irish Leader, Cowen, to Dissolve Government Amid Bailout - NYTimes.com

DUBLIN — The Irish government faced imminent collapse on Monday, only a day after it signed off on a $100 billion bailout, setting the stage for a new election early next year and injecting the threat of political instability into a European financial crisis that already has markets on edge....Read more

Save the planet! Prostitute yourself | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

I’m confused. When politician is offered sex for his vote, is that prostitute or attempted corruption?


UNTIL recently she was best known for her best-seller Wetlands, a frank debut novel about the sex life of an 18-year-old that has been described as everything from literary eroticism to undiluted pornography.

Now Charlotte Roche, a 32-year-old German TV presenter, has found further fame after sending an invitation to the German President....Read more

Quadrant Online - Call for climate Royal Commission

At an assemblage of physicists at the British Association in 1900, one of the 19th Century’s most influential physicists and mathematicians, Lord William Thomson Kelvin said, “There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.”

This statement appears myopic today and would certainly be lambasted by the likes of Einstein, Schrödinger and Hawking.

Arguments by the Gillard government that the science of climate change is “settled” and “the debate is over” are not dissimilar and will leave future generations in no doubt Labor is using flawed science to drive this tax grab....Read more

A change in the weather doesn’t explain Yemen | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Here we go again, focusing on the fashionable rather than the real.

Lateline’s Leigh Sales last night gave the friendliest of interviews to Britain’s Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, who has been diverted from his real job to act instead as the United Kingdom’s Special Envoy on Climate and Energy Security.

Observe the example both choose to illustrate what he’s up to when he talks of having to tackle “the implications of climate change ... (on) the likelihood of conflict” :
LEIGH SALES: OK, so if we can take a case study and use the example of Yemen, which is near the top of the global security agenda because of its instability and a strong Al Qaeda presence, how is climate change relevant to Yemen’s security?....Read article

Greens candidate says Greens plan for Hazelwood “highly simplistic” | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

The Greens split on their crazily irresponsible policy to shut Hazelwood, responsible for a quarter of Victoria’s electricity:


A GREENS candidate in the Latrobe Valley has launched an attack on the party’s Melbourne-based MPs, accusing them of proposing ‘’highly simplistic’’ climate policies ...

Cheryl Wragg, a former Labor member and former adviser to the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, is running for the Greens in the upper house seat of Eastern Victoria. She said a plan to close and replace the Hazelwood coal power plant by 2014 crafted by Greens MP Greg Barber was not part of the party’s platform…

Ms Wragg, who calls herself an ‘’industrial Green’’, suggested that Mr Barber’s stance was pitched at inner-city voters and did not reflect the views of people in central Gippsland....Read more

Gillard still trying to flog a dead (carbon) horse?

Does the Australian Prime minister expect bill paying Australians to believe the totally unrealistic, untruthful and deceitful rubbish that she is saying
about a "Carbon Price"

This attempted money grab by this disintegrating collection of left wing master propagandists is so pathetic that even rusted on labor voters are starting
to question why they should be caught in a continual spiral of energy hikes and telling us that more dramatic rises are in the pipeline caused by very bad
government policy.

Carbon price means a carbon tax simple as that, why deceive people into believing it is some magic formulae for solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Nature has and always will find its own way of balancing, has done so for billions of years and without a tax on pat of the air that is necessary for life.
The carbon religion that has evolved in recent times is nothing more than a wealth plundering and distribution scam by the worlds money movers and shakers, they have been somewhat successful how else could millions of people be duped into believing a draconian tax on carbon is going to change nature.

Fortunately, more individuals are questioning the credibility of this gigantic hoax as politicians run for cover as folks seek the truth.
Strong and Gore should be ashamed of themselves. However, they won't be not as long as the smell of ill gotten billions remain on the horizon ready to be redirected to themselves and cronies on the gravy train.

The only thing that will stop this assault on people's wealth will be the ballot box and politicians with guts, foresight and honesty. Not the corrupted ones with negotiable pockets that seem to be breeding at this point in Australia's political landscape. Hypocrites swanning around the world producing the very stuff they are against to be seen and heard at the next carbon talkfest.
Australia needs more politicians like Cory Bernadi a quality straight talking right to the point individual. Cory we need you.

It used to be work hard and be rewarded, now those rewarded are those who work out new ways to pilfer those poor fools who do.

““When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours and approvals–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed.””
Ayn Rand

Inconvenient hurricane facts

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. had this great set of factoids up on his blog, and I just can’t resist sharing. He writes:

Adam Lea, of University College London, shares these interesting hurricane factoids related the the remarkable dearth of US hurricane landfalls in recent years. His comments are reproduced here with his permission:

As the 2010 hurricane season (with 10 hurricanes) starts to wind down I thought I would share a few statistics on how unusual this season has been historically for its lack of US hurricane landfalls:


1. Since 1900 there is no precedent of an Atlantic hurricane season with 10 or more hurricanes where none has struck the US as a hurricane. The five previous seasons with 10 or more hurricanes each had at least two hurricane strikes on the US.
