Don't fall for this mad green scheme
Fairfax claims the magic pudding has been
invented: a scheme to make us use expensive green power and SAVE
MONEY "The Turnbull government is sitting on advice that an emissions
intensity scheme - the carbon policy it put on the table only to rule
out just 36 hours later - would save households and businesses across
the country up to $15 billion."
Here we are again the dog with it's dream bone. It's not even a real one the once spoken of REVIEW by a Democratically elected committee which is a check has been turned into Policy going forward by Turnbull and then turned around by Bolt whose put the cart before the horse for the benefit of rhetoric
. Remember the days when horses were cheaper and better transporters of goods from A to B. When Ford came up with an idea that trucks could best them. Bolt along with the stable owners and horse farms would have railed against the idea of progress and reminded the electorate just how stupid fossil fuel energy was. The cost was the dirty word back then too after all roads had to be built. Horses and rail were far cheaper. Now the word Clean is the dirty word and Elon Musk is ahead of the race. He is today's nutter like Ford was back then?
Forward costing has been the weapon of clean energy deniers has been done declaring it would cost $2000 for households to meet the reduced CO2 targets envisaged by 2030. Hey I know Aussies are fast becoming backward in math but that's only 0.36cents a day at today's tech levels for clean energy production. Clean energy for the future and the price just keeps dropping. What's at stake is a cleaner future for our kids much cleaner than one Bolt says we need. That alone makes Bolt a regressive.

Ridd on Reef: don't trust alarmists
Professor Peter Ridd says you can't trust
alarmist scientists who claim the Great Barrier Reef is dying, thanks to
man-made warming. Watch:
Andrew Bolt is a great fan of Breitbart trusts them implicitly. The post Bolt made here Ridd on Reef has a link to the Bolt Report which has no date attached to it. Furthermore it has a mountain of unacknowledged information missing that lends more light to what is really happening here.Bolt is using a very old post by Ridd on which he was severely censured and nearly sacked for using James Cook University's renowned school of Marine Biology as his accredited official support base when in fact Ridd was seen by James Cook other colleagues a as rogue. However he is regarded as the pre-immanent expert on the reef by Bolt.
Who is Ridd
"While going to great lengths to construct the story, The Australian left out a couple of bits about Professor Ridd that might seem relevant.
Ridd is the “science director” at the Australian Environment Foundation, which claims that wind farms make make people sick and that climate change might not be caused by humans but, if it is, it probably won’t be all that bad. The AEF has historical links to the Institute of Public Affairs, the Melbourne-based free market think tank and key pusher of climate science denial in Australia."
"At James Cook University, Ridd also runs the Marine Geophysics Laboratory, which seems to spend a lot of time working on projects related to fossil fuel export terminals.
The most recent scientific paper posted on Ridd’s university publications page was a paper he co-authored in the journal PLOS One.
According to the paper, which found that dredging can impact corals at distances of 20 kilometres, the research was funded by Chevron Australia, Woodside Energy Limited and BHP Billiton.
Last year in an interview with the ABC, Ridd responded to questions over a potential for conflict of interest relating to his laboratory’s work on fossil fuel projects."
"Do I have a vested interest? Well, all the money that’s raised through the university goes into PhD scholarships, into developing more instrumentation, funding research. If you think that’s a vested interest, then it is. I’ll let you make that decision."
" Peter Ridd raises almost all of his research funds from the profits of consultancy work which is usually associated with monitoring of marine dredging operation (http://www.jcu.edu.au/marinephysics/services/JCU_103139.html) . Work has recently been done at Hay Point and Abbot Point as well as at Barrow Island in Western Australia. The general philosophy is to use the instruments and analysis methods which are developed by the Marine Geophysics Lab to give a competitive edge for tendering for contract work. Funds pay PhD scholarship and the staff of the MGL (usually around 7 scientists and engineers)."
So much for the arms length credentials of Prof Ridd and why he was severely censured by his peers and Bolt's silence on all of this
James Cook University is seen as alarmist here by Bolt along with the Centre of Excellence for Coral Studies and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. I suspect today's post isn't even a response to the latest evidence that Coral bleaching on the reef in fact has got even worse. Bolt is simply applying the same old tactics as Breitbart. It's no coincidence that Bolt's videos aren't dated and are posted under the guise of being "hot off the mark" when they aren't It's another example of his lazy Susan approach to old ideas being recycled. What Bolt fails to acknowledge are Ridd's true credentials. I guess Ridd is a substitute for how Abbott hoped to use Lomborg. Below is a response to Breitbart and it's use of "data" by a scientist it could be also a response to Andrew Bolt and other climate deniers who dominate the media but not peoples trust, go Kait Parker.

Turnbull confirms what he denies: emissions trading WAS being considered
Malcolm Turnbull yesterday confirmed what
he'd denied: his review into global warming policies WAS considering
bring in emissions trading, or another form of carbon tax.
Free Speech is demanded bu Andrew Bolt but Free Thinking is apparently a crime. No Barnstorming allowed by governments when moving forward. In every aspect of social planning consideration of everything we have information on is considered prudent. If business, military medical even family decisions were made on the Bolt formula there would only be a history of bankrupt decision making. Bolt really is pushing shit up a hill with a pointed stick on this one "Malcolm Turnbull yesterday confirmed what he'd denied: his review into
global warming policies WAS considering bring in emissions trading, or

Director Eve Orner, a wild critic of our
border laws, yet again gets something wrong: “The only person who wrote
something negative about [her film] was Andrew Bolt. He wrote a piece
about it last week and he called me a leftist agitprop agitator."

De " All I dis your honour was help spread the idea I didn't do it I
swear I didn't do it. Yes Orner was right who on earth reads Quadrant.
News Corp is MSM and Bolt is it's messenger. He's been found guilty by a
number of judges on a number of occasions and continues to pretend he's
not the messenger. He's not a little boy he's old ugly overweight and
over 6' "And all I did was to link to Thomas's piece." Bolt. You can always trust Bolt to point the finger
at someone else. You see his blogs are all links to others and paywalls
he even gets his Trolls to do the work for him. Yet Andrew Bolt says he
works 70 hours a week."I do hope Qantas engineers get more things right than does Orner." Here is Bolt even hoping Qantas Reviews are like Turnbull's and cover everything. What a hypocrite what a joke all rhetoric and fluff but no substance.Jobs and (no) growth
The promise was "jobs and growth". The
Turnbull Government has just delivered no growth instead, and the Budget
is in more strife.
