On Sunday 1 July 2012, the Labor/Green government’s carbon tax of $23 per tonne will finally take effect in Australia. We’ve heard all the usual spin from Greg Combet about how other countries are taking similar action and Australia must… Read More ›

Harold Ambler: 'Don't sell your coat'
It’s a while now since I finished reading this great little book on the global warming scare, and other non-climate demands have subsequently prevented me from reading it again, so unfortunately this is more of a recommendation than a full… Read More ›
Rio+20 Earth Summit fizzles in the rain
UPDATE 2: Christopher Booker writes in The Telegraph: The great global warming scare has long been dying on its feet, but that sad fiasco of a conference in Rio last week saw it finally dead and buried. “It’s pathetic, it’s appalling,”… Read More ›

The Age beats The Oz for balanced climate reporting
UPDATE: The Australian prints an update here (not, however, by science writer Leigh Dayton, who couldn’t bring herself to acknowledge the problem even existed). For today, at least, The Age’s Adam Morton gets the guernsey for climate reporting (yes, you did… Read More ›
Greenhouse gases 'largely to blame' for ocean warming
Instead of reporting the problems with its last alarmist story, namely the fact that bloggers have once again found holes in a supposedly “peer-reviewed” paper propping up the consensus, the ABC just moves on and runs another: A new US-led… Read More ›
