Andrew Bolt changes like the weather he's a yo-yo when arguing Climate Change. In this editorial, he's no longer a denier of global warming. The science is now real, only that man-made change is exaggerated, exaggerated so much we needn't do anything about it least of all transition to cleaner forms of energy systems, better health outcomes and save nature as we know it. That will cost far, far more than the old fossil fuel systems we use today. The problem Bolt spent over a decade telling us the world was cooling. When Attenborough or others talk of the sea rising they also spoke of the accelerated rates of warming and poles melting. They speak of compounded rates of CO2 emissions, warming and melt rate of the polar caps. Bolt's graphic is based on simplistic and constant rate increases, but he doesn't tell you that. Who better than Attenborough knows more about the changes to global flora and fauna it's not Bolt who shamelessly mocks the man. Nor does Bolt tell you these catastrophes are worst-case scenarios or won't occur across the board.
The theatrics and drama Bolt puts into his denials is as exaggerated as that telling us what might happen if we don't address things now and allow things to progress. All Bolt's done is flipped their arguments and presented the best case scenario telling us things aren't bad. For instance, if Scandinavian glaciers were to melt the seas around the fiords of Scandinavia would only rise 36 cm. Well, Bolt should try to sell is arguments to the Dutch and see the reaction he gets.
Furthermore, the cost cherry has been popped The fact is the majority of the 195 nations on the planet are putting their efforts into transitioning to clean energy and new technologies are because they are cheaper than fossil fuels with better-projected outcomes for their next generations as well. In increasing numbers the peoples of the world believe it and aren't rioting. France is reacting because of Macron's Abbott and Hockey approach to fuel tax saying the poor don't have cars or drive far. That had Abbott throw the blame on Joe and dump him.
Investors, consumers, science, technology, miners and producers aren't failing us with some imaginary Ponzi scheme as Bolt tries to convince us of. They are all in one form of transition or another to renewables intent on lowering CO2 emissions and producing cleaner energy but Bolt won't tell you that either. Adani the latest Australian coal baron is trying to sell a $1 billion dollar newly built coal-fired power plant in India for $0.20cents and he can't find a buyer. He's also one of India's biggest investors in clean renewable solar energy on the subcontinent. However, Bolt won't tell you that either. Australian energy producers want a price on carbon a Carbon Tax set and fixed and they too are transitioning to renewables. In the meantime their profits have doubled not halved in parallel with consumer bills Bolt doesn't mention that. Nor does he mention the hard cold fact that the proportion of income spent on energy bills of the average Australian household hasn't changed. What he fixates on is the optics and not the statistics or the science for the sole benefit of politics.
Calling science a religion, that technologists, financiers, are really only schemers after your money and their insane drive for renewables won't produce better outcomes at all that it's just a Ponzi scheme is little more than an effort to hold back progress. Bolt's not arguing the science, the statistics or the economics he clutches on occasional straws and mistakes made in order not to talk about the trend happening simply to embellish a futile scare campaign for regressive political action and outcomes that nobody today believes in given the chaos in our politics today.
Well, what we have Bolt doing promoting division he's gone from a cooling planet, science is a religion to warming is real and science is simply overstating the danger back to the Lomborg argument which only shows just what a flipper the man is. He is Abbott's man so don't hold your breath because you will see him flip back to Abbott's position that man-made climate change is crap if it exists its good. Behind his editorial desk, he's not debating he just proselytising preaching from the pulpit of denial and reaction to progress that will continue to move forward despite Trump and Australia.
St Kilda needs a permanent police presence on foreshore
In 2006 2GB Alan Jones and Conservative media was accused and correctly fueling the fires that caused the Cronulla riots. Back then Scott Morrison encouraged his local Liberal branch to adopt this division as a political agenda as a means of political support. It was in the days of the Howard government. However Abbott took Morrison's logic on board and coined Team Australia and we've seen News Corp's Andrew Bolt step into Jones shoes and take on the Lebanese, Muslims, and Sudanese in Victoria as 'them' and not us. It not only gains attention when on the front page in one form or another but it resonates across Australia as a false flag and has the, in the end, the negative pushback hoped for and the optics to sell so much so it seems politicians and News Corp are intent on creating yet another Cronulla before the next election. It's the "see I told you so" politics that conservatives thrive on.One might ask why the reality is in fact ignored and the majority success of Australia's refugee migration schemes amplified rather than the promotion of the reverse denied by police, social workers, statistics and the voting by Victorian electorates alike. None has any impact on what Andrew Bolt wants to promote. If he was genuinely curious wouldn't he leave the security of his white enclave and get up close and personal to investigate rather than mock as he did this time last year with his son the idea of a Sudanese beauty contest showing just what a white supremacist he is.

Great South Coast Economic Migration Project
Yesterday at 11:37 AM ·
The GSCEMP Welcome Weekend was a huge success with the visitors all showing great enthusiasm to relocate to the region. Eleven people, visiting from Melbourne and Sydney, were welcomed by the communities of Casterton and Hamilton over the two days. In the words from Gabriel from Melbourne:
‘I finally feel like I’m in Australia and it already feels like home.’
The weekend involved a guided bus tour of the towns, including visits to a hospital, school, dairy farm, aged care facility and homestays with local families in Casterton.
At the end of the weekend, it was clear that the visitors loved our region and plan to move as soon as they can. The project team will now assist the families to find jobs and suitable housing in order to move to the Great South Coast region in the coming months.
A huge thank-you to the Glenelg Shire Council, Southern Grampians Shire Council, the Leadership Great South Coast project team and many local community members that assisted to make the weekend a success.

Boosters Nelson and Abbott spent money on monuments of wars they never went to while allowing living Veterans to be homeless and on the streets here in Australia. They are real, living in hell many with PTSD while we are overfunding and mythologising Australia's position in Europe. Will conservatives do the same in Vietnam about a war which we lost because it too was more a political invention of the Menzies government a continuation of "reds under beds" and the "domino theory". The reason we allowed 100 mill Indonesians to be slaughtered because we were sold that myth. We enabled the criminal Suharto regime to become our neighbour and sold it as a democracy.(ODT)
