Deputy PM says linking bushfires to climate change is 'woke capital-city greenies ravings' – politics live
The fact that weather extremes have been a record-breaking global phenomenon, particularly in their intensity suggests there is an element of Global warming involved and a shift in weather patterns and extreme events accompanying them. The actuaries in Insurance Companies sure think, so premiums aren't getting cheaper. Conservatives aren't arguing against these premium rises or the actuarial results but are insisting that weather extremes are fewer. (ODT)I’m confident that our national government, when the smoke and dust settles, will finally see the obvious and understand the word “unprecedented”. I’m sure it will then start to take decisive action to tackle the base cause – greenhouse emissions - then use the high moral ground to lean on other countries to also do the right thing.

Testing begins for first offshore wind farm in Australia
Inventing the wheel; offshore wind farms are a given throughout the world and have been for decades.

ABC host Fran Kelly admits she should have confronted one of the four panellists on Q&A who defended or even called for violence: "I needed to challenge the assertion that killing men is the answer to violence against women." But what about the activist who called on Aborigines to "burn stuff"? Kelly is still silent.
THE 11,000 'SCIENTISTS" IS MICKEY MOUSE NEWS
COLUMN Global warming hysteria is now so manic that I don’t trust a thing journalists say until I’ve checked for myself. Consider this fake news from last week: "Climate emergency declared by 11,000 scientists worldwide who warn of ‘catastrophic threat’ to humanity.” Why didn't media outlets check these "11,000 scientists", who included Mickey Mouse?
